Burlington Township Car Accident
A Burlington Township car accident has killed a Union City man. The driver was killed when his vehicle left the roadway of 10 ½ Mile Road south of M-60 and hit a tree. He was not wearing a seat belt. No other details have been released, but police do believe alcohol may have been a factor.
This is a tragic accident and I am very sorry for this man’s family.
As a lawyer whose law firm specializes in representing people who have been injured or killed in car accidents, I often encounter clients who do not realize the full scope of Michigan’s No Fault Act. For instance, many people think they can receive No Fault benefits only if they have been seriously hurt in a car accident. This is not true. No Fault benefits are available in an accident like this, even though the driver has been killed. If his family makes a survivor loss claim, they can receive a portion of his funeral expenses and may be able to receive a portion of his lost wages. In addition, if alcohol was involved, the family may be able to pursue a separate dram shop claim against a bar or restaurant that served alcohol to the driver.
