Alto Snowmobiling Accident

Posted on January 11th 2010

There was a story in the paper today about two people seriously injured in an Alto snowmobiling accident on January 10th near Lowell Township in Kent County. According to the police, two people were riding on a snowmobile when it allegedly struck a fence along Timpson Ave near 52nd Street. Both riders were seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. Police are still investigating this accident and believe alcohol may have been a factor.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the riders have a complete and full recovery from their injuries with no future complications.

Snowmobile accidents can cause serious injuries to the riders, even with proper safety equipment.  A person  injured in snowmobile accident may have rights under Michigan law.   Claims for injuries can be made against a negligent operator of a snowmobile or even a landowner who has dangerous conditions on a property where an injury occurs.

Sanilac County Car Accident Fatality

Posted on July 20th 2009

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.

An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim.  Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
