Kalamazoo Drunk Driving Accident
There was another story in the paper today about two pedestrians seriously injured in a Kalamazoo drunk driving accident on January 30th in Kalamazoo County. According to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, the pedestrians were walking along Redwood Avenue when they were allegedly hit by a vehicle driven by an alleged drunk driver. The two pedestrians were taken to a local hospital for treatment of their serious injuries. The alleged drunk driver was arrested.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the pedestrians recover from this accident without any permanent injuries or deficits.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured pedestrians 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 they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the car accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. Another possible claim for anyone injured by the alleged drunk driver would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident. At the very least, she should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victims with this type of claim. Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
