Detroit Fire Truck Accident
I saw on the news today a story about a Detroit Fire Truck Accident that occurred on July 21st at the corner of Lawndale and Vernor. According to eyewitnesses, the fire truck allegedly on an emergency run when it lost control and rammed into two vehicles that pulled over to let the fire truck pass.
Surveillance video and other witnesses allege that the fire truck was travelling at too high a rate of speed when it tried to take a curve in the road and lost control. The driver of one vehicle was uninjured but the driver and passenger of the other vehicle had to be taken to the hospital with unknown possibly serious injuries. The accident is under investigation at this time.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the injured parties a full and speedy recovery.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims their legal rights. For this type of auto accident, the injured drivers and passenger 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 parties can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the persons determined to be at fault in the auto accident and the City of Detroit. The insurance company for the driver and the City of Detroit must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, they can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company typically pays a settlement for this type of case.
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.
