Washtenaw County Car Accident
Ann Arbor woman, Krystal Falcon, was seriously injured in a Washtenaw County Car Accident May 15th at the intersection of Michigan Ave. and Platt Rd. in Pittsfield Township that killed the driver, Corey Curtis. According to Michigan State Police, Curtis allegedly failed to stop for a flashing red light and struck an empty car hauler truck. The police are still investigating the accident. Ms. Falcon is currently hospitalized with serious non-life threatening injuries.
I am very sorry to hear about his accident and wish Ms. Falcon a speedy and full recovery. My condolences to the family of Cory Curtis for their loss.
Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights. For this type of accident, the injured passenger 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 passenger can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injury victim may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons driving the car. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, they 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.
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.
