There was a story in the paper today about three teens injured in a Fillmore Township car accident on December 22 in Allegan County. According the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office, a 17-year old Holland teen, and two passengers, were traveling on Blue Star Highway, near 60th Street, when the 17-year-old allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and pulled into the path of a semi-truck.
The semi-truck allegedly hit the rear of the vehicle and the rear seat of the car with one passenger was ejected. He suffered serious injuries and was taken to Spectrum Hospital where he is in critical condition. The teen driver and passenger in the car were taken to Holland Hospital for treatment of their injuries. Police continue to investigate this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the injured paassengers have a complete and full recovery from their serious injuries.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured passengers 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.
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 victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. At the very least, they 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.
