Fatal St. Clair Semi-Truck Car Accident
I saw on the news this morning a story about a Fatal St. Clair Semi-truck Car Accident on I-94 in St. Clair County. According to Michigan State Police, a semi-truck allegedly slammed into the rear of a passenger vehicle in a road construction zone at Division Road and Fred Moore Highway. After running over the passenger car, the truck reportedly then hit another passenger vehicle before ramming into a second semi-truck. One person was killed and four others were seriously injured. Police continue to investigate this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and offer the family of the deceased victim my most heart-felt condolences. I hope that the injured parties have a full and speedy recovery and suffer no permanent injuries as a result of this tragic 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.
Also, for this type of accident, the family members of the deceased victim 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 the injured victims and family of the car accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident as well as the owner of the semi-truck. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims and the family of the deceased victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.
Also, the family members of the deceased victim 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 a possible claim against the owner of the semi-truck. At the very least, the surviving family should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
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.
