Our Michigan personal injury lawyers are reporting a story in the paper yesterday about a Grand Haven school bus accident.  The accident took place on Friday, September 17th, shortly before 3 p.m at Grand Haven High School.  According to police, two teenage girls, Megan Grand and Victoria Morgaine, were hit by a school bus when they were riding their bikes between two busses and hit by a third bus that did not see them. Both girls were taken to the hosptial and suffered injuries.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the two injured victims have a fast recovery.

Fatal Bicycle Accident in Hampton Township

Posted on September 16th 2009

A 71-year-old man is dead from a fatal bicycle accident in Hampton Township in Bay County that occurred Sunday. According to the police, the Bay County man was riding his bicycle north on a rail trail near Youngsditch Road when he was allegedly struck by a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old man, who was driving west. The bicyclist did not survive the crash. Police are still investigating this tragic accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and offer the family of the bicyclist my most heart-felt condolences.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of accident, the family members of the deceased bicyclist may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits. This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.

In addition, the family of the car accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the family of the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.

Also, the family members of the deceased bicyclist may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused this accident. At the very least, the surviving family should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.

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.
