Berlin Township Two Semi-Trucks Van Accident

Posted on April 23rd 2010

There was a story in the paper today about a man injured in a Berlin Township two semi-trucks and van accident on April 21st at the intersection of Jordan Lake and Portland roads. A semi-truck driven by a man from Greenville did not stop at a stop sign on Jordan Lake Road while traveling eastbound on Portland Road and striking another semi-truck. That collision caused the trailer of the semi-truck that was struck to hit a van in the northbound lane of Jordan Lake Road. The driver of the van suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope that the injured driver has a complete and full recovery from his serious injuries.

Our Michigan truck accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of truck accident in Michigan, the injured van driver 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.

In addition, the truck accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against the truck driver determined to be at fault in this two semi-truck and van accident as well as the owners of the semi-truck. The insurance company for the negligent truck driver and owners of the semi-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.

An experienced Michigan truck accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim. Accident vicitms should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent truck driver before consulting an attorney.
