Detroit Pedestrian Hit and Run Accident

Posted on November 17th 2009

There was a story in the paper today about a woman seriously injured in a Detroit pedestrian hit and run accident that occurred on Thursday, November 12 on Detroit’s west side. According to the Detroit police, a 20-year-old-woman exited a bus to cross West Parkway, near Joy Road, and was allegedly struck by a car that ran the red light at the intersection.

Witnesses stated that the driver, in a burgundy Taurus, stopped, went around the injured woman, stopped and looked then left the scene. No witnesses were able to get the license plate number of the car. Detroit Police are still investigating this accident and ask anybody who sees an older model burgundy Taurus, with damage to the passenger side, to call them.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope that the injured pedestrian has a complete recovery without any permanent deficits.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured pedestrian can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover her 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 she did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

If the driver’s identity is not discovered, the injured pedestrian still has rights under the law. She may be able to file an uninsured motorists claim against her own insurance policy or another insurance policy to receive the No-Fault Benefits.

In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in auto accident. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured victim can 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. At the very least, the injured pedestrian 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.
