Detroit Schoolbus Accident Injured Four Children
There was a story in the newspaper today about how a Detroit schoolbus accident injured four children this morning on the west side. According to the Detroit Police, a school bus was allegedly turning left onto Dickerson from Jefferson when it was allegedly struck by a car heading westbound on Jefferson. The four children on the bus were taken to a local hospital. There were also three people in the car but their injuries are unknown at this time. Police are still investigating the accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the children and passengers of the car 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 parties 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.
