A Kalamazoo car accident has injured a Decatur woman.  The accident occurred on December 13, 2008 on M-51 near 54th Street while Bonnie Clark was a passenger in a van driver by her husband.  The accident happened when James Clark of Decatur lost control of his vehicle due to weather conditions and struck a vehicle driven by Loreine Beeching, also of Decatur.  Bonnie Clark was treated and released from Borgess Hospital.  There was no word on whether James Clark or Loreine Beeching were injured.

I am very sorry this accident occurred.  I hope that everyone involved recovers fully and quickly from their injuries.

When people are involved in car accidents, they are often very worried about how they will pay for their medical bills.  They should not worry about this at all since Michigan No Fault insurance will pay for all of their medical expenses, including hospital bills and any reasonable and necessary follow-up medical treatment.

No Fault insurance will also make other payments, such as lost wages, household replacement services, and attendant care.  No Fault insurance will not pay for non-economic damages like pain and suffering but accident victims who are seriously injured can sue the negligent driver for these damages.  I always strongly encourage people who have been injured in a car accident to speak with a lawyer to learn the full extent of their rights.

A Van Buren car accident has left an 86-year old Decatur man dead and his 16-year old grandson injured.  Daniel Harralson died from trauma suffered in the accident when he tried to make a right hand turn and lost control of the vehicle.  His car collided with a tree.  David Ohns was treated for minor injuries at Bronson/Lakeview Hospital in Paw Paw.  Neither were wearing their seatbelts.

This is very tragic and must be especially hard for the family.  My sympathies go out to them.

My law firm represents people injured in car accidents.  I know that situations such as this one are difficult, but the family should act quickly to submit claims to their insurance companies.  Insurance companies have strict time limits and I have seen far too many families lose some of their benefits for failing to submit their claims on time.

In an accident like this, both the grandfather and the grandson have claims for No Fault benefits that their family can make for them.  Mr. Harralson’s family can get survivor loss benefits which will pay medical expenses and a portion of the funeral costs.  The Ohns family can also get David’s medical expenses paid for and possibly other benefits as well depending on the severity of his injuries.  Even if David is too young to have his own No Fault insurance policy, he is still eligible to receive No Fault benefits as long as someone he lives with has a No Fault policy.
