A fatal Branch County car accident has resulted in the tragic death of a teenager.  Michael Lung, 16, was killed in an accident on Deer Park Road near Taggart Road.  The accident occurred when the car he was driving slid sideways, hit a post on the driver’s side, and crashed into a tree.  The only passenger, Shane Lung, Michael’s brother, suffered fractured ribs.  Shane Lung was listed in stable condition at Sturgis Hospital.  According to the Branch County Sheriff’s Department, icy road conditions resulted in several accidents on January 6, 2009.

This accident is very tragic, especially because the victims are so young.  I want to express my sympathies for the Lung family and the Burr Oak school community.  I do hope that Shane Lung is able to experience a full recovery.

In an accident like this one, a family may feel like there is nothing they can do.  This is not true.  The best thing they can do is submit a claim for Michigan No Fault insurance.  A No Fault claim for Shane’s medical expenses will require the insurance company to pay for all reasonable and necessary hospital bills, doctor’s appointments, and rehabilitation.

A No Fault survivor loss claim would provide the family with a payment for a portion of Michael’s funeral costs.  It could also provide payments for loss of household services if Michael ever performed any chores around the house for his family.  A lawyer could help handle both No Fault claims.
