Our Michigan car accident lawyers are reporting that Ford is recalling 575,000 Windstar vans, model years 1998 to 2003,  in the United States and Canada.  The safety concern is that the rear axles can corrode and break.  States where there is a heavy use of road salt can cause this corrosion, Michigan being one of them.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two crashes were caused due to this problem, along with 234 complaints of rear axle problems.  Ford told NHTSA on Thursday that owners of this vehicle will be notified beginning September 27th.

I read a story in the paper today about a Battle Creek Amtrak Accident. According to Battle Creek Police, a driver was injured when they allegedly ran into a moving Amtrak train. According to witnesses, the car allegedly came to a stop at the railroad crossing on Helmer Road and slowly moved forward as the gate came down. The crossing gate smashed the windshield and the vehicle proceeded to cross the tracks when its front end was hit by the Amtrak train and ripped off. The driver was taken to the hospital. Her condition is unknown at this time. Police continue to investigate the accident.

I read tragic story over the weekend about a Sanilac County Car Accident Fatalityon Stone Road near Sheldon Road in Argyle Township on July 17th. A Snover man was a passenger in a 1995 Ford pick-up truck when the driver allegedly lost control and rolled the truck, according to police.

The driver sustained serious injuries but the passenger was declared dead on the scene. Police suspect alcohol may have been a factor and continue to investigate.

A 33-year-old Port Huron man was involved in a Algonac Garbage Truck Accident on July 16th in St. Clair County. According to police, the man, a Richfield Management employee, was allegedly run over by the garbage truck while he worked.

Police believe the truck was stopping and collecting trash, on Mill Street in Algonac, when the front wheel of the garbage truck ran over the Richfield Management employee causing severe and serious injuries. The man’s right leg and right arm were seriously injured. The man was airlifted to University of Michigan Medical Center. He is in stable condition. Police continue to investigate this accident.

Michigan truck accident victims have a number of legal rights.  As this accident happened while he was working andinvolved a motor vehicle,  the Richfield Management Employee may be eligible to receive Michigan Workers Compensation benefits and Michigan No-Fault Benefits. These benefits are similar in that they would cover  his medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. 

The Richfield Management employee should speak with an experienced Michigan accident lawyer to determine which  benefits he is eligible to receive. Accident victims should not speak with an insurance adjuster for the negligent parties before consulting with an attorney.
