Fatal Genoa Township Head-on Collision Accident
There was a tragic story in the news today about a woman seriously injured in a fatal Genoa Township head-on collision accident on January 20th in Livingston County. According to the Livingston County Sheriff, a 27-year-old Howell man was passing vehicles at a high rate of speed on Grand River, near Chilson, when he swerved into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a large SUV, driven by a 48-year-old Brighton woman. The woman suffered serious injuries to her knees and chest and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The Howell man did not survive the crash. Police said they found an open whiskey bottle and prescription drugs but were not sure if they were a factor in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the Brighton woman recovers from this accident without any permanent injuries or deficits. My condolences to the family of the Howell man on their loss.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured woman can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover her medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. The injured party can claim these benefits even if she did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. At the very least, she should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim. Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
