A Walker car accident has injured a pedestrian.  The accident occurred on December 6, 2008 when a 19-year old woman was hit by a car while walking on West River Drive near Lankamp Street.  Her condition is unknown. Police are still investigating the accident.

I am extremely sorry this accident occurred, especially because the victim is so young.  I hope she is able to recover fully from her injuries.

Many people do not realize this but when a pedestrian is hit by a car, the pedestrian can file for Michigan No Fault insurance benefits.  These benefits will pay for the medical expenses caused by the accident, lost wages, household replacement services, and other benefits.

 Even if the pedestrian does not own a No Fault policy, she can still collect the insurance benefits.  The reason she can do this is because the Michigan No Fault Act establishes an order of priority under which people can file claims for No Fault benefits.  The pedestrian would first make a claim from her own insurance company, and if she did not own a policy, she could make a claim through a parent or relative’s policy.  If none of the people she lived with owned a policy, a lawyer could help her work through the order of priority and determine which insurance company should pay.

A rollover car accident in Walker left two people dead and a third injured on November 9, 2008.  The accident occurred on I-96 near Fruitridge Avenue when the driver lost control and the car rolled over several times.  It is not clear what caused the accident or how severe the injured person was hurt, although it appears that the injuries are non-life-threatening.

This is a very tragic accident and I am very sorry it occurred.  I wish to express my sympathy to the families of these people.  I hope that the injured accident victim recovers completely.

During a tough economy, unexpected accidents like this pack a double dose of hardship.  Not only do the families have to deal with the loss or injury of a loved one, but they also have to cope with the unexpected costs of medical bills and funeral expenses.  Michigan No Fault insurance provides some relief for the financial aspect.  No Fault benefits pay for all medical expenses and a portion of the funeral costs.  They also provide a portion of lost wages and other benefits.  These benefits are separate from any damages the families might be able to collect from a lawsuit.  The best way to make sure they get everything they deserve is to contact an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer.
