Independence Township Bicycle Septic Tanker Accident
There was a story in the paper today about a bicyclist seriously injured in an Independence Township bicycle septic tanker accident on December 1 in Oakland County. According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, a bicyclist was trying to cross M-15 near Strawberry Lane on his bicycle when he was allegedly hit by a septic truck heading southbound. The bicyclist was rushed to Beaumont Hospital for treatment of his serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the injured bicyclist has a complete and full recovery from their serious injuries.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured bicyclist can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover his 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 he did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
For a case like this, the no-fault insurance company should pay all benefits voluntarily. The family may wish to consult with a lawyer, but probably does not need to hire a lawyer.
In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident as well as the owner of the septic truck. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.
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.
