There was a tragic story in the paper today about one person killed and three others injured in a fatal Bingham Township car accident on November 21 in Sanilac County. According to the Michigan State Police, a three car accident occurred when a 44-year-old Snover man was allegedly attempting to turn left onto Spencer from M-19 when he was allegedly hit by a southbound Chevy Blazer, driven by a 64-year old Lapeer man. A third vehicle, driven by a 50-year-old Ubly man, in a 2006 Chevy Impala allegedly hit the Blazer after the first collision.

The driver of the Blazer and his wife were transported to Huron Medical Center where she later died from her serious injuries. Two other passengers from the other vehicles were transported to Huron Medical Center, as well, for treatment of their serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident and believe that weather and fog may have played a role in this accident.

I read a tragic story in the news today about a Fatal Sanilac County Motorcycle Accident that happened on Saturday.  According to the Michigan State Police, the female biker was travelling on M-25 near Washington Road with several other bikers when she allegedly lost control while turning into a parking lot and side-swiped her husband. She was thrown from the bike on to the road an sustained severe head injuries. She was airlifted to St. Mary’s hospital in Saginaw where she died from her injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I  am very sorry to hear that this tragic motorcycle accident happened. My condolences go out to the family and friends of the female biker.

A Sanilac County car accident has resulted in the deaths of two sisters.  The accident happened on December 25, 2008 near State Road and M-46 in Sanilac Township when the driver lost control of the vehicle and drove it into a ditch.  The accident is believed to have been caused by icy roads.  Diane Cass and Donna Walsh were non-responsive at the scene of the accident, but passed away over the weekend.

This is a very tragic accident, especially since it occurred on the holiday.  I want to express my condolences to the family.

Michigan No Fault insurance benefits are available to help cover the costs of this accident.  A No Fault survivor loss claim will provide the families with a portion of the funeral costs and with payments for loss of financial support and loss of household services.  Loss of financial support refers to wages or earned income and household services refers to household chores that the accident victims performed.

In addition, Diane Cass’s estate could sue the estate of Donna Walsh in a wrongful death lawsuit.  Family members are sometimes hesitant to sue other family members, but if the relative being sued is fully insured, the insurance company will cover any damages that are awarded.  The insurance company will also cover the cost of defending the lawsuit.  It is really just the same as suing the insurance company directly, but the final choice about whether to file a lawsuit belongs to the representative of the estate.
