There was a story in the paper today about a man seriously injured in a Flint pedestrian hit and run drunk driving accident on February 7th in Genesee County. According to the Flint Police, a Flint pedestrian was seriously injured while he was standing on the side of the road reporting a hit and run accident he had witnessed at S. Saginaw and Damon Streets when he was allegedly struck by a car and thrown 40 feet. The driver fled the scene of the accident but later was allegedly found, allegedly intoxicated. The Flint pedestrian was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the pedestrian recovers from this accident without any permanent injuries or deficits.

I saw a tragic story on the news today about a Bridgeport mother of five injured in a hit and run accident yesterday morning near Saginaw. According to witnesses, Jessica Johnston was driving west on East Remington, with her twins and three other children, when a 2002 Rendezvous allegedly struck the rear passenger side of her vehicle. The crash broke Johnston’s back , collapsed her lung, broke her collarbone and left her paralyzed. Witnesses state they saw the driver of the vehicle flee on foot from the scene of the accident. Police are still investigating the incident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish Jessica Johnston the fullest and speediest recovery possible.

I read a tragic story about a Genesee County Hit & Run Car Accident that shut down I-69 for several hours over the weekend. According to Davison Township Police, a driver and his passenger, in an MTA Your Ride car, were travelling on I-69 when their vehicle was allegedly hit by a minivan, near Irish Road. The MTA car was then run over by a motor-home that could not stop or avoid the car. The minivan left the scene of the accident.

The driver and passenger of the MTA car were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver was released but the passenger is still there in serious but stable condition. Davison Township Police are looking for the minivan or witnesses to the accident. If you have any information on this accident, please call them at (810) 653-5656.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. I wish the accident victims a full and complete recovery and hope that they suffered no permanent harm.

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 parties 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 the auto accident. The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured parties 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. 

If the driver’s identity is not discovered, the injured victims still have rights under the law. They may be able to file an uninsured motorists claim against their own insurance policy or another insurance policy to receive No-Fault Benefits.  At the very least, the injured victims 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.
