Posted on August 27th 2010

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.

ATV Accident Kills Child And Leaves One Injured In Michigan

Posted on April 16th 2010

One child died, and one child was injured, ages 9 and 13, while riding an all terrain vehicle (ATV) on 22 Mile and Garfield Roads in Macomb Township on April 13th. The boys were hit by a 17 year old driving an automobile. Both children were taken to local hospitals.

My deepest condolensces go out to the two boys who were killed and injured and their families.

ATVs and ORVs provide great thrill and excitement to riders but can pose significant safety risks to both riders and occupants.   Tragic accidents are reported all throughout the summer months in Michigan for ATV accidents.  Many of these involve ATV rollover accidents and others involve collisions with other vehicles.

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.
