Child Killed And Mother Injured In Fatal Detroit Car-Pedestrian Accident
Our Detroit car accident lawyers are reporting a fatal pedestrian accident that happened Monday, January 23rd, in Southfield, at the intersection of 8 Mile and Lahser. According to police, a Ford Explorer hit a woman and her daughter that she was pushing in a stroller. The 14-month-old daughter was killed due to the accident, and the mother has sustained a broken leg, and head injuries.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. My condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim and hope the injured mother has a fast recovery without any permanent damages.
Our Detroit auto accident attorneys advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of Detroit car-pedestrian accident, the family members of the deceased victim may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.
Also, the family members of the deceased victim may also have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver if the police determine they were negligent and caused the accident.
The injured mother may be able to 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 victim can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
The injured mother may also have a personal injury claim against the driver if determined to be negligent. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of accident. At the very least, all parties and families involved in the accident should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
