I saw on the news this morning that a Comstock Township Car Accident Injures 9 people on Sunday, August 9th.  According to the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Department, the accident occurred when a 21-year-old driver allegedly turned left into a vehicle driven by a 44-year-old man. Between the two vehicles there was a total of nine people, all who suffered minot and serious but non-life threatening injuries. Police continue to investigate this accident.

I  am very sorry to hear about these tragic auto accidents and wish all the injured parties the fullest and speediest recovery possible.

There was a tragic story in the news today about Royal Oak Multiple Hit & Run Accidents Fatality. A drunk driver, in a Chevy Silverado, was allegedly involved in two hit and run accidents in matter of 10 minutes, according to Michigan State Police. The first hit and run accident allegedly occurred at a McDonald’s on 11 Mile Road near Van Dyke that left several people seriously injured.

State Police said the drunk driver then allegedly rammed into a Ford Aerostar minivan on the Woodward exit ramp of I-696 causing the minivan to roll, 10 minutes later. One of the passengers was killed when the minivan rolled. The driver and other passengers of the minivan were taken to Beaumont Hospital with serious injuries. The drunk driver fled the scene of the accident but was apprehended later when he returned to the scene. Police are still investigating this accident.

Over the weekend, I read the story of a tragic accident involving a Lake Isabella SUV Rollover Accident Death. According to the Sherman Township Sheriff, a 41-year-old Isabella County Man died on July 11th when his SUV rolled several times. The man was allegedly driving at a high rate of speed on North School Road and could not negotiate a curve in the road.

The man was thrown from his vehicle when it rolled. He was pronounced dead at Central Michigan Community Hospital. The Sheriff believes alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. My heart goes out to the family of the man for their loss from this tragedy.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of accident, the family members may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.  This is true even if the decedent was intoxicated and at fault for the accident. 

Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the victim before consulting with an attorney.

I read a story about a tragic South Haven motorcycle accident that caused serious injuries to a motorcycle passenger.  The Sherrif’s Department reported that Ariel Anderson of Kalamazoo suffered serious internal injuries after leaving the South Haven fireworks display the other night.  The driver of her motorcycle apparently tried to pass other cars and collided with a driver who was turning into a private driveway.

I hope that Ms. Anderson has a speedy and successful recovery.

Under Michigan law, Ms. Anderson has several possible legal remedies for her injuries.  This will be helpful because she will most likely incur significant medical expenses and may be disabled from employment.  Because she was a passenger on the bike and had contact with another motor vehicle, she is entitled to Michigan No-Fault Insurance benefits which pay for medical expenses, lost wages, household services, and other expenses.

She may also be able to file a claim for her personal injuries against anyone who was negligent in causing her injuries.  This would include the driver of the motorcycle and even if they are friends, this should not interfere with the claim.  Typically, the bikers insurance company would pay a settlement for this type of accident.
