There was a story in the paper today about three men injured in an Oceola Township car accident on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, in Livingston County. According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s department, a 2002 Dodge Caravan, driven by a 23-year-old Lansing man, was traveling on M-59 westbound when the driver allegedly swerved into eastbound traffic to avoid a vehicle in front of him and hit a 2002 Ford F-350, driven by a Highland Township man and his Highland Township passenger. Both men in the pick-up truck were taken to University of Michigan Medical Center for treatment of their serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the injured parties have a complete and full recovery from their serious injuries.

A tragic fatal car  accident in Brighton Township took the lives of three young men and caused serious injuries to a fourth.   The accident occurred on Hacker Road just north of McClements Road early Monday morning.  Police discovered this tragic single car accident and are still investigating.

My sincerest condolences go out to all of the families.  I hope that the surviving passenger has a quick and full recovery.

Under the Michigan No-Fault Insurance laws, the surviving passenger can have all of his medical expenses paid by the designated auto insurance company.  To determine which company is responsible for these and other benefits, it is necessary to go through a checklist to figure out which insurance company has priority for payment.  These benefits include more than medical bills and can be substantial.  There are time requirements for filing these claims so it is important to start on them right away.

There are a variety of other possible claims and lawsuits available to the surviving family members.  These include No-Fault Insurance benefits and possible claims under the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute.

I read about a tragic accident this morning involving a two vehicles in a Livingston County Car Accident. According to Michigan State Police, one woman was seriously injured and another woman was killed in a head-on crash on Pinckney Road in Marion Township. Police further allege that  the accident occurred when PInckney woman Elizabeth Hildebrandt was travelling southbound in her Chevy Venture and crossed the median striking a vehicle driven northbound by Kimberly Mead. Both were rushed with serious injuries to local hospitals where Ms. Mead is in critical condition and Hildebrandt subsequently died. State police continue to investigate.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish the Ms. Mead the fullest and speediest recovery possible.  My condolences to the Hildebrandt family for their loss.

I read a tragic news report of an accident involving a teenager.  Paige Watson, a 16-year-old Hartland Township teen, suffered severe injuries in a Livingston County Car Accident on May 20th when her car allegedly collided with pick-up truck. According to the Livington County Sheriff, she was airlifted to Mott’s Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor with severe and serious injuries. A passenger in the pick up was transported to Genesys Hospital in Flint for treatment of her serious injuries.

While details of Ms. Watson’s injuries have not been disclosed, I am very sorry to hear about her serious injuries and wish he the fullest and speediest recovery possible.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of accident, the injured driver and passenger 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 passengers and drivers can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.

In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons driving the car.  The insurance company for the drivers must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, they can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.  The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. 

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.
