We recently settled a Lansing car accident lawsuit for a husband and wife from Holland, Michigan who suffered serious injuries in a car accident.  The accident occurred because the defendant driver crossed the median of the road and struck our clients car near head-on.  Both airbags deployed in the accident.

The clients contacted us just before the expiration of the statute of limitations for car accident cases in Michigan, which is three years from the date of the accident.  Had they waited any longer, there claims would have been destroyed.  The lawsuit was filed in the Ingham County Circuit Court.

The wife suffered lacerations to her knee and other injuries, including cellulitis and acquired lympedema.  She requires the use of a Lympa Press every day, seven days a week, and this takes up to two hours everyday.  She received a settlement for the insurance policy limits of $100,000 of the negligent driver.

The husband suffered a right knee sprain and a fracture of the metatarsal bone on his left foot.  He missed approximately six weeks from work.  He received a settlement of $20,000.00 for his injuries.

The clients were very smart and helped their own case by taking photographs of the damage to their vehicle after the accident.  They also took photographs of their injuries and bruising after accident and this was essential to helping their settlement awards.  Fortunately, they called our office just in time so that we could get their lawsuit filed.

I saw on the television news a frightening story about a Grand Ledge I-96 Multiple Vehicle Truck Accident that occurred on Tuesday and involved 2 tractor-trailers and 10 vehicles. According to Michigan State Police, one person was seriously injured and taken to the hospital No other injuries were reported at the time. State police have not released details on the cause of the accident at this time as they are still investigating what happened.

I am sorry to hear about this accident and hopes that the injured person has a complete and full recovery.

While reading the paper today, I came across a story about a serious injury in an Ingham County Car-Truck Accident in Vevay Township. According to the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department, a man was allegedly seriously injured at the intersection of Kipp and College Roads when his car was struck by a pick-up truck. The man had to be taken to a local hospital with a head injury. Police continue to investigate this accident.

We recently settled an Ingham County lawsuit for clients who were injured in a Lansing area car accident.  The accident victims were a husband and wife who suffered shoulder injuries when their car was struck by an uninsured driver.  The uninsured driver was negligent and caused the accident.

Our clients had their auto insurance policy through Auto Owners Insurance Company.  Their policy provided for Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits and Uninsured Motorists Benefits.  The insurance company underpaid some benefits and neglected to pay required medical expenses.  Through the settlement, they agreed to pay the medical providers their fees and charges related to the injuries suffered in the car accident.

Because the negligent driver was not insured, we made a claim for Uninsured Motorists Benefits for the accident victims against their own policy.  These claims were for their personal injuries suffered in the accident.  The insurance company paid a settlement for these benefits as well.

This case demonstrates the importance of drivers in Michigan purchasing uninsured motorist coverage on your auto insurance policy.  Because there is a significant number of uninsured drivers in Michigan, it is necessary to have this coverage to protect yourself in the event of an accident.

While listening to the radio over the weekend, I heard about a tragic Mason County Drunk Driving Accident  on US-131. According to the Mason County Sheriff, a 20-year-old Muskegon man allegedly lost control of his vehicle crashed at the end of the west bound on-ramp while intoxicated.  A female passenger was taken to the hospital with serious injuries including a possible broken arm and neck injuries. The driver had minor injuries and was taken into custody.

I  am very sorry to hear about this auto accident and wish the injured woman the fullest and speediest recovery possible.  I hope that both she comes out of this with no permanent harm.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured passenger 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 passenger can claim these benefits even if he did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

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 passenger 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. 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.
