Fruitport Michigan SUV Rollover Accident

A horrific accident was reported involving a Michigan SUV rollover accident that occurred in Fruitport Township, wich is located in Muskegon County.  All eight occupants of the vehicle suffered injuries after the driver of the vehicle and a front seat passenger were playing games with the steering wheel.  This caused the vehicle to swerve and then rollover, ejecting many of the occupants who were not wearing seatbelts.

This is truly a tragic accident that should never have happened.  This was not the result of driver error or unforeseen weather conditions, but rather due to horesplay behind the wheel of the car.  Additionally, the fact that the passengers, many of them children, were not belted makes this even worse.  Most of the children were at an age where they should have even been in car or booster seats.

The injured passengers have legal rights against the owner and driver of the vehicle.  The accident was clearly due to negligence in the operation of the car and the injury victims can seek money damages for their injuries.  They can also make claims for Michigan no-fault benefits to cover medical and other expenses.  If I was the attorney handling this case for an injured passenger, I would seek all available remedies for this senseless accident.
