I read in the paper this morning about a tragic Van Buren County Car Accident on July 11th that involved five children at the intersection of M-43 and CR 653.  According to police, a teen, driving an Oldsmobile Bravada, allegedly drove into oncoming traffic to avoid a vehicle that had allegedly slammed its break on in front of him. 

A GMC Suburban, driven by another teen with five kids for passengers, allegedly tried to avoid the Bravada but struck the car causing the Bravada to roll three times. The driver of the Bravada was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries to the head and shoulders. The driver of the Suburban and the five kids were unharmed. Police are still investigating this accident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this auto accident and wish the injured teen the fullest and speediest recovery possible.  I hope that he come out of this with no permanent harm.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured teen can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover his medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.  The injured teen can claim these benefits even if he did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim.  Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.

A Van Buren County car accident has resulted in serious injuries for a Mattawan woman.  Frances Korteway was seriously injured when the driver of another car lost control of his vehicle on Red Arrown Highway and hit her Jeep head-on.  The accident occurred on February 20, 2009.  Frances Korteway had to be extricated from her Jeep with the Jaws of Life and was treated for what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.

I am very sorry this accident occurred.  It is not clear how severe Frances Korteway’s injuries are, but I wish her the best for a full recovery.

In an accident like this, there are two distinct things Frances Korteway should do.  First, she should prepare a claim for Michigan No Fault benefits.  No Fault insurance will pay for her hospital bills and follow-up treatment and it will provide wage loss benefits if she has to miss work because of her injuries.  Other benefits may also be available depending on the severity of her injuries.

Second, she should determine whether she is able to file a lawsuit.  Michigan law allows people who are very seriously injured in car accidents to sue the driver who caused the accident.  This lawsuit allows them to collect additional damages for things that No Fault insurance does not cover.  These damages could include lost earnings if the accident victim will be out of work for more than three years or payments for the pain caused by the accident.  A lawyer could help her decide whether she is permitted to file a lawsuit and whether it would be a good thing to do.
