Drunk driving accidents in Michigan continue to be a huge problem on our roads and highways.  These accidents are senseless and should never, ever happen.  Drivers need to be responsible when taking the wheel of the car and driving on our streets and highways.

A driver and 2 passengers were injured in an Oceana County Car Accident on Saturday, May 30 at the intersection of Jefferson and Oceana Drive in Weare Township. The accident occured when a 61-year-old Hart man , travelling westbound on Jefferson, allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and struck a GMC Yukon, travelling north on Oceana. The occupants of the Yukon, Lee Tenney and two of his family,  were taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment of their undisclosed, non-life threatening injuries. The Hart man died at the scene of the accident. Police suspect alcohol was a factor in the crash and are still investigating at this time.

I am very sorry hear that this accident happened and I hope that the Tenneys are able to recover completely from their injuries.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of accident, the injured driver and passengers of the Yukon 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 people 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 person driving the car.  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.  Another possible claim would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the  alcohol before the accident.

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.
