There was a tragic accident at a construction job when a concrete slab crushes a truck driver in Livingston County yesterday. Richard Browand, a 61-year-old truck driver, was working in Howell Township, near Grand River and Byron Roads, when the concrete slab, intended for use in a sound barrier, fell off his tractor trailer. He was rushed to St. Joseph Livingston Hospital where he was declared dead. Police are still investigating the cause of this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of Richard Borwand for their loss.

Our Michigan truck accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights.  For this type of accident in Michigan, the family of Richard Browand  may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the people involved in the accident including, but not limited to, the owners of the truck, the owners of the crane used to move the slab and the companies that owned the truck and/or crane.

I read a tragic story today about a Fatal Petoskey Semi-Truck Accident over the weekend. According to Michigan State Police, four people have died from an accident on US-31 in Emmet County involving two semi-trucks, a pick-up truck with a utility trailer and a passenger car. 

State Police stated the passenger car allegedly crossed the center-line into the path of a semi-truck driven by a 47-year-old man. The semi-truck driver allegedly veered left to avoid the car and hit the pick-up truck, which was traveling behind the car.

The passenger car then spun out of control into the path of a second semi-truck driven by a man from White Cloud. The semi-truck hit the car and left the road coming to a rest in a wooded area. The three passengers in the pick-up truck died at the scene of the accident. The fourth pick-up truck passenger was taken to Munson Medical Center with serious, life-threatening injuries where he died over the weekend. Police are still investigating this horrific accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic car accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the deceased passengers for their loss.

Our Michigan truck accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, any 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.

Also, for this type of auto accident in Michigan, the family members of the deceased victims may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services. 

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 companies that own the semi-trucks.  The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, any injured parties and the family of the deceased victims 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. 

Also, the family members of the deceased victims may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused these car accidents as well as the companies that own the semi-trucks.

I read a tragic story in the paper today about a Fatal Lowell Township Hit & Run Accident on August 15th. According to the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, a former Midland resident truck driver was helping direct traffic at the scene of an accident when he was allegedly struck and seriously injured by a pick-up truck that left the scene of the accident.

He was rushed to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital where he died from his injuries. The Sheriff’s office also stated that the driver of the pick-up truck contacted them later that night. The Sheriff’s office suspects alcohol was involved.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and offer the family of the deceased victim my most heart-felt condolences.

I read a story today about a serious Wexford County Construction Zone Truck Accident that occurred on US-131 just south of Cadillac. According to the Michigan State Police, a road construction worker was seriously injured when a box truck allegedly rammed into his truck in a construction zone.

State Police state that the box truck driver allegedly did not see a convoy of construction workers painting the lines on the roadway. The worker was taken to the hospital with a possible head injury.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the worker the fullest and speediest recovery possible.

Michigan truck accident victims have a number of legal rights.  As this accident happened while he was working and involved a motor vehicle,  the road construction worker may be eligible to receive Michigan Workers Compensation benefits and Michigan No-Fault Benefits. These benefits are similar in that they would cover  his medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. 

In addition, the injury victim may be able to file a lawsuit against the driver and the owner of the box truck. In this lawsuit, they could 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 case. 

The road construction worker should speak with an experienced Michigan Accident Lawyer to determine which  benefits he is eligible to receive. Accident victims should not speak with an insurance adjuster for the negligent parties before consulting with an attorney.
