Fatal Detroit Hit & Run Accident
I read in the paper today a tragic story about a Fatal Detroit Hit & Run Accident that happened on July 19th. According to Detroit Police, a 46-year-old man, driving a Chevy Tahoe, allegedly killed a 43-year-old man, driving a 1990 Buick, when his vehicle collided with the Buick at East Seven Mile and Fairport as it tried to turn left onto Fairport.
The driver of the Buick was rushed to the hospital where he died from his serious injuries. Detroit police also stated the Tahoe driver allegedly fled the scene but was later apprehended thanks to some witnesses that had called into the station with information on the Tahoe driver.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accidents and give my most heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased driver for their loss.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of accident, the family members of the deceased passenger 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. The injured parties can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the family of car accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
Furthermore, the family members of the deceased passenger may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused this car accident. 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 victims with this type of claim. Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
