Sterling Heights Motorcycle Accident
I read in the paper today about a tragic Sterling Heights Motorcycle Accident that occurred in Sterling Heights last week. According to police, two bikers were seriously injured on M-59 when their bike was allegedly struck from behind by a drunk driver that failed to stop for a traffic signal. The motorcycle was stopped at the light when it was struck and pushed into a vehicle in front of them.
Both bikers were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Police continue to investigate this accident and are currently looking for anyone who witnessed what happened.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the biker and his passenger a speedy and complete recovery.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured parties 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 parties can claim these benefits even if he did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
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 injured bikers 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 possible dram shop act lawsuit against the furnisher or provider of alcohol to the alleged drunk driver.
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.
