There was a story in the paper yesterday about a Kalkaska County car accident. The car accident involved three cars and took place on US-131 on Thursday, June 17th. According to police, a car rear-ended another car that was turning left into a business and held four people. Due to the impact of the crash, the car that was rear-ended caught on fire after being sent into incoming traffic and smashing into another car. Ten people were injured due to this three car accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this auto accident and hope all of the individuals injured recover from this car accident without any permanent damages or injuries.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise car accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of  auto accident in Michigan, the injured individuals 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 the driver determined to be at fault. 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.

A Kalkaska County car accident resulted in two dead and two people injured earlier this week.  William and Gloria Devlin were both killed when they were involved in a car accident with a Triple M Tire commercial truck driven by Ronald Marchlewski of Gaylord, who was hospitalized, and a pickup truck driven by Kristi Alberts of South Boardman and William Edmundson of Kalkaska, who both suffered minor injuries.  The causes of the accident are still under investigation.

It is always extremely sad when a car accident cuts short the life of anyone.  My sympathies extend to the friends and family of the Devlins.  I also would like to wish all the others a quick and complete recovery.

My law firm represents clients who have been injured in car accidents and other accidents.  Even though it is not clear who or what caused this accident, everyone involved is entitled to receive No Fault benefits regardless of fault.  No Fault benefits are provided through your car insurance.  They will cover medical expenses and lost wages for any time that has to be taken off work.  They will also cover household replacement services, which are payments for chores around the house that the accident victims can no longer for themselves.  In addition, survivor loss benefits will cover a portion of the funeral expenses.

The accident victims or their families will want to assemble the necessary documents and submit claims to their insurance providers quickly.  Even though it may be difficult to concentrate on this task while grieving the loss of a loved one or providing care for someone who has been injured, insurance companies enforce strict time limits on such claims.  A failure to submit claims timely could lead to a loss of benefits.
