Fatal Hit & Run Accident in Detroit
There was a story in the news today about a fatal hit & run accident in Detroit last night. According to the Detroit Police, a man left a party on Robson near Glendale on the Northwest side of Detroit when, while waiting to cross the street, a Ford Escort allegedly swerved to hit him. He was rushed to a local hospital where he later died. Police are still investigating this accident and encourage anyone with any information that can help in the investigation to contact them.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic car accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the pedestrian for their loss.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, 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.
If the driver’s identity is not discovered, the pedestrian’s family still has rights under the law. They may be able to file an uninsured motorists claim against their own insurance policy or another insurance policy to receive the Survivor Loss Benefits.
In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in the auto accident. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, any injured parties and the family of the deceased victims can claim damages and compensation for injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
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. 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.
