Bus Stop Accident in Rochester Hills

Posted on October 03rd 2009

There was story in the local newspaper about a bus stop accident in Rochester Hills in October 1st. According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s office, two teens were crossing South Boulevard to their bus stop to go to their Avondale school when they were allegedly struck by a minivan driven by a woman. Their bus had stopped and had extended its stop sign. Both teens were rushed to the local hospital in critical condition but are both stable now. Police are still investigating this accident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish the injured teens the fullest and speediest recovery possible.

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 they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

In addition, the car accident injury victims 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.  At the very least, the injured parties 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.  Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.

Rochester Hills Deer Car Accidents

Posted on November 21st 2008

Rochester Hills has recently taken a step aimed at reducing the number of deer car accidents in the city.  Last year, there were over 200 car accidents caused by or involving deer in Rochester Hills.  In response, the city council recently voted to allow residents to hunt the city’s herd of approximately 1000 deer.  Under the ordinance, no hunting is allowed from neighborhood or commercial property.  The city is partnering with Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger to arrange for butchering the meat and distributing it to area shelters.  The entire arrangement was done at no cost to the city.

 

Not everyone in the city is pleased with the deal.  Members of the Residents for Safe Deer Management argued hunting will not achieve the city’s stated objective of decreasing car accidents.  They supported increased use of fences and reflectors to achieve this goal without killing any deer.

 

Both groups’ positions make a lot of sense to me.  Deer-related car accidents are a major problem in Michigan, especially at this time of year.  The Michigan car accident lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire support reducing the number of deer-related car accidents and have sought to educate Michigan drivers on what to do to avoid deer car accidents.
