Cadillac Truck Accident
I read a story in the paper today about a Cadillac Truck Accident that occurred Thursday, August 20th. According to the Wexford County Sheriff, the accident occurred when a semi-transport was driving on M-115 when it allegedly struck the passenger side of a vehicle driven by Martin Tisdale, a vice-president at Baker College, travelling on West 13th Street. Tisdale and his passenger suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. The accident remains under investigation.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish Mr. Tisdale and his passenger a speedy and full recovery. I hope that they have no permanent deficits from this accident.
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured parties can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. The injured parties can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in the auto accident as well as the company that owns the semi-truck. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured parties can claim damages and compensation for injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
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.
