Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights. For this type of accident, all drivers can 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 drivers can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injured Manton woman may be able to file a lawsuit against the Charlotte driver. The insurance company for the Charlotte driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, she can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim. Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
