Michigan Garbage Truck / Pickup Truck Accident
There was a story in the news today about a Scio Township garbage truck accident that involved a pickup truck. The accident took place this morning around 11 a.m. on Baker Road. According to Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies, the pickup truck was pulling out of a gas station when a garbage truck struck the driver’s side of the pickup truck. The man driving the garbage truck was airlifted to the University of Michigan Hospital. The driver of the pickup suffers minor injuries.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope both injured victims have a complete and full recovery from their injuries.
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of Michigan garbage truck accident, the injured garbage truck driver and the pickup truck driver 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, one of the injured truck accident victims may also have claims for personal injuries against the truck driver determined to be at fault in this garbage truck and pickup truck accident as well as the owners of the truck. The insurance company for the negligent truck driver and owners of the truck typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. At the very least, he should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possiblities.
