Springfield Hit and Run Pedestrian Accident

There was a story in the paper about a woman critically injured in a Springfield hit and run pedestrian accident in Calhoun County, near Battle Creek, on Halloween. According to Springfield Department of Public Safety, a 50-year-old woman was allegedly hit while walking on West Dickman Road near Brookside Apartments. The female driver of the vehicle fled the scene but left evidence behind that allowed the police to find her. The 50-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Police arrested the driver and several charges are pending against her.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the injured woman has a complete recovery without any permanent deficits.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured woman can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover her medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.  The injured party can claim these benefits even if she did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

If the driver’s identity had not been discovered, the injured woman would still have rights under the law. They may have been able to file an uninsured motorists claim against their own insurance policy or another insurance policy to receive the No-Fault Benefits.

In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in auto accident. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured woman can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.
