Six Students Injured in a Detroit Bus Accident
I saw a story on the news today about six students injured in a Detroit bus accident on Monday, September 28. According to the Detroit Police, a Detroit Public Schools bus allegedly rear-ended another school bus near the intersection of Plymouth Road and Outer Drive. Police state that the driver was paying attention to six students that were standing on the bus and took his eyes off the road and hit the bus in front of him. The six students were taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the students have no serious or permanent injuries from this accident.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured students 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 victims can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in auto accident and the Detroit Public School System. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured victims 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 students 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.
