A traumatic brain injury victim in a Michigan car accident recieved justice today in a Lenawee County courtoom.  A  jury returned a verdict in a car accident case in favor of the accident vicitm for approximately $2,000,000.00.  This is a substantial verdict in for Lenawee County where jurors are considered conservative when awarding compensation to injury victims.  The accident victim suffered a closed head injury in the accident.

The negligent driver had insurance company with Farm Bureau Insurance Company.  Incredibly, the insurance adjuster offered only $100,000 before the trial to settle this serious injury case.  Well, the jury clearly saw through the smoke and mirror defense and the adjuster grossly underestimated the magnitude of the case, and the tremendous skill of the lawyer for the accident victim.  There will most likely be significant penalties awarded against the Defendant in this case and the insurance company will be probably be required to foot the bill, as it should.

Two drivers were seriously injured when their cars were involved in a head-on collision in Lenawee County’s Rome Township, which is about eight miles west of Adrian.  The accident occurred on Forrister Road near Wilkinson Highway.  There is no additional information about the accident available at this time and it is unclear who was at fault.

This is an extremely tragic accident.  My sympathies go out to the families of both drivers and I wish the drivers a speedy recovery.

My firm represents injury victims and their families in similar cases.  These cases are very sensitive to the victims and their families and are always very emotional.  I am very attentive to the emotions involved in the case. 

In investigating a case for a client, I first determine what type of insurance benefits may cover the accident.  This includes an analysis of both the liability policies and the Michigan No Fault insurance policies. 

Even though there has been no determination of who is at fault, both drivers involved are entitled to No Fault benefits, which include payment of all hospital bills and medical expenses.

The injury victims may also have claims for their personal injuries suffered in the accident.  The driver who was determined to be free of fault would also have a claim against the negligent driver.

The Toledo Blade reports that two people suffered serious injuries in an Adrian car accident early Monday.  The accident occurred on Forrister Road near Wilkinson Highway.  The victims were taken to a local hospital for treatment.  No details regarding the crash investigation were released by police but there are reports that this was a head on collision.

I hope the injured people have a full and speedy recovery and I wish them the best of health.  I represent victims of car accidents and know that even any car accident has the potential to seriously injure the people involved.

Even though there has been no determination of who is at fault, the drivers and passengers involved are entitled to No Fault benefits, which include payment of all hospital bills and medical expenses as well as additional benefits depending on the severity of each person’s injuries.  These benefits could include payment for household chores that the injured person can no longer do for himself or herself and for any care or supervision of the injured person that is required as a result of the accident.  Finally, if anyone has to miss work because of injuries suffered in this car accident, their No Fault insurance will pay benefits for their lost wages.

The injury victims may also have claims for their personal injuries suffered in the accident.  The driver who was determined to be free of fault would also have a claim against the negligent driver.
