Ingham County Single Car Rollover Accident

Posted on September 16th 2010

Our Michigan car accident lawyers are reporting a story in the news yesterday about an Ingham County rollover auto accident.  The accident took place on Tuesday, September 14th around 3 p.m.  According to police, a vehicle lost control on US-127 near Kipp Road and hit a gas main causing the car to rollover. Two people inside the car were taken to the hospital and suffer injuries.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the injured victims have a fast recovery without any permanent damages.

Our Michigan car accident attorneys advise victims of their legal rights. The injured victims may be able to 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 individuals can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy and even if they are determined to be at fault.

In addition, the accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against the driver determined to be at fault in this 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.out

East Lansing Accident Kills Barber, Injures Wife

Posted on August 28th 2008

I read a tragic news report of an fatal Michigan truck accident that took the life of a popular Adrian, Michigan barber and seriously injured his wife.  Police report that James Jasmine and his wife, Karen Jasmine, were involved in an accident on U.S. 127 in Lansing last Friday afternoon when an oil tanker overturned and landed on their SUV.  Mr. Jasmine was killed and his wife suffered serious injuries and was taken to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.  Police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

My sincerest sympathies go out to the Jasmine family and I wish a speedy recovery for Ms. Jasmine.

These unfortunate family tragedies in car and truck seem to be occurring with greater frequency.  It is important to learn the reasons for the accident and then take measures to reduce the likelihood of it happening again in the future.  My firm handles a number of these cases and we start our investigation of the accident immediately so that we can locate all witnesses and preserve physical evidence to prove our clients’ case. 

In many of these cases, the oil tanker company or other big trucking company will send their investigators out immediately to begin their “investigation.”  Essentially, they are trying to build a case against the victims of the accident and blame fault on the victims, with the hopes of avoiding a significant civil lawsuit.  Ms. Jasmine can file a claim against the trucking company for her own injuries and also for the loss of her husband, a claim that can be shared by other family members.  This is known as a Michigan Wrongful Death suit.  There are also claims that can be brought under the Michigan No-Fault Insurance laws for both victims.
