On my way into work this morning, there was a Six Car Accident on Southfield Freeway in Detroit. At least one person was seriously injured in the M-39 crash near the Grand River exit. Police and ambulances were on the scene.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish any injured parties the fullest and speediest recovery possible. 

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, any injured people 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 he did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

I read tragic story today about a Detroit Hit & Run Fatality that involved a 13-year-old victim and was caught on a surveillance video. According to Detroit Police, the surveillance video allegedly shows the 13-year-old boy walking near Grand River and Mettetal when he was struck by a white mini-van that drove off without stopping. The boy was taken to Children’s Hospital with serious injuries and died at the hospital from significant brain damage.

My sincerest condolences go out to the family of the boy for this tragic loss. 

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of accident, the family members may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.  If the driver is not found and a member of the household had uninsured motorist coverage , they can make a claim for wrongful death.

Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the victim before consulting with an attorney.
