I read a tragic story in the news over the weekend about Oakland County Hit and Run Fatalities in Novi on Saturday. According to Michigan State Police, a pick-up truck travelling on M-5, near 13 Mile Road, allegedly rear-ended a car causing it to burst into flames,, killing the two occupants. The pick-up truck driver fled on foot from the crash scene.

Police are still investigating the crash and searching for the driver of the pick-up truck. State Police ask that if you have any information to call the Metro North Post at (248) 584-5740.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic car accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the deceased driver and passenger for their loss.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights.  For this type of accident, the family members of the deceased victims 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. 

If the driver’s identity is not discovered, the family still has rights under the law. They may be able to file an uninsured motorists claim against their own insurance policy or another insurance policy to receive the Survivor Loss Benefits.

In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in the auto accident.  The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the family of the deceased victims 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. 

Also, the family members of the deceased victims may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused these car accidents. At the very least, the surviving family should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities. 

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.

I read a tragic story in the paper today about a Berrien County Fatal Car Accident in Buchanan yesterday involving the passenger of a sport utility vehicle. According to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department, a driver, in a Toyota SUV, allegedly travelled to fast around a curve in Rynerson Road, lost control of the vehicle, crashed into a brick entrance of a subdivision, flipped and landed on its passenger’s side.
