Wexford County Construction Zone Truck Accident
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.
