Today’s news had a tragic story about a bicyclist seriously injured in a Macomb County hit and run accident on Sunday morning. According to the Clinton Township Police Department, 41-year-old John Destefanis was traveling southbound on Gratiot Avenue when he was allegedly hit by a blue Chevy Corvette that appears to have not stopped after hitting the bicyclist. Destefanis was taken to a local hospital where he is in critical condition. Clinton Township Police are still investigating the accident and ask that anyone with information on the accident call them at 586-493-7817.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope Mr. Destefanis has a complete and full recovery from his serious injuries. I hope that police find the person responsible for this tragic accident.

I read a tragic story online about a motorcycle  that hit a bicyclist in Clinton Township. According to Clinton Township Police, a 53-year-old biker was traveling down Clinton River Road with his friends when he allegedly lost control of his bike and hit a cemetery fence. The biker was thrown into the air and his motorcycle hit a man riding a bicycle. The bicyclist was taken to a local hospital with a possible broken neck. The biker did not survive the crash. Police are still investigating the accident at this time.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the bicyclist has a complete and full recovery from his serious injuries. I offer the family of the biker my most heart-felt condolences.

I read a story in the paper about a Macomb County Minivan Accident that occurred on the border of Mount Clemens and Clinton Township yesterday. According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, eight people were hurt in a three vehicle accident when a minivan allegedly turning onto Elizabeth, from Groesbeck, struck another minivan then struck a pickup truck. Police are still investigating the accident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish all the injured people the fullest and speediest recovery possible. 

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured parties can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.  The injured parties can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

I saw a tragic story on the news about a Pedestrian Killed by a SMART Bus in Macomb County yesterday. According to Clinton Township Police, the pedestrian allegedly was struck by a SMART bus as the bus pulled away from the curb. The man was treated at the scene by some nurses that were on the bus and transferred to Mount Clemens Hospital where he died from his serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the pedestrian for their loss.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the family members of the deceased victim may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services. 

In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in auto accident and SMART bus.  The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the family of the deceased victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.  The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. 

Also, the family members of the deceased victims may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused these car accidents as well as SMART bus. At the very least, the surviving family 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.
