I read a tragic story about a Michigan man, Robert Jackson Sr. of Hazel Park, who suffered fatal injuries recently in a Utah car accident. His son, the driver of his vehicle, suffered serious injuries. Police believe that the driver of a pickup truck cut into their lane of traffic and caused the accident. It is still being investigated.

My thoughts and condolences go out to the family. I hope that the son has a speedy and complete recovery for his injuries. It is hard to imagine what the last week has been like for the family.

I was recently at a conference in Washington DC with a fellow car and truck accident lawyer from Salt Lake City, Utah. He described to me the number of accidents that occurred on many of the winding and curvy roads in Utah and the serious injuries related to those accidents. It seems to be a terrrible problem, especially because any detraction from the roadway can have terrible consequences.

The Michigan family does have legal rights related to this accident. A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed against the other driver and a claim would be made against his insurance company. No-fault insurance claims can also be filed for payment of funeral expenses, survivor loss benefits, medical expenses, wage loss benefits, and other claims even though the accident happened in Utah. There may also be other available claims and remedies available to the family.

A Hazel Park car accident has left one driver with critical injuries.  The accident occurred on November 14, 2008, when a northbound car on I-75 near 9 Mile Road did not stop in time to avoid a car in front of it.  This crash then caused two additional cars to crash.  One driver was taken to Beaumont Hospital and is in critical condition, while another driver was treated and released for minor injuries.

I am very sorry this accident occurred.  I hope both injured drivers are able to recover fully.

Although the shock of a car accident can be initially very frightening, Michigan’s No Fault insurance regime can do a lot to relieve a family of the initial stress of an accident so that an injured driver can focus on his or her recovery.  For instance, No Fault insurance pays for all reasonable and necessary medical expenses connected to the accident as well as a portion of any wages a driver would lose for missing work.  In addition, if someone is seriously injured in a car accident, that person may be able to sue a negligent driver.  An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can help you submit your No Fault claim and determine whether you can file a lawsuit.
