I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the injured party a speedy and full recovery.
Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights. For this type of accident, the injured pedestrian 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 pedestrian can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injury victim may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons driving the car. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, he 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.
