Sanilac County Car Accident Fatality
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.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and give my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the passenger for their loss.
Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the family of the passenger can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover funeral expenses, medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.
In addition, 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 injured victim 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 car accident case. Furthermore, if alcohol is found to be a factor in the case, another possible claim would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident.
