Today’s news had a story about a Capac woman injured by a semi-truck in Imlay City. According to police, Sherry Baird was seriously injured at the intersection of Capac Road and Van Dyke when she was allegedly hit by a semi-truck in the intersection. Baird was rushed to Hurley Hospital in Flint for treatment of her serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish Ms. Baird a speedy and full recovery. I hope that she has no permanent deficits from this accident.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, Ms. Baird can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover her 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 as well as the company that owns the semi-truck.  The insurance company for the driver must still cover any injuries. In this lawsuit, the injured parties can claim damages and compensation for injuries suffered in the accident.  The insurance company for the negligent driver 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.

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.

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.

Our Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers represent bikers injured throughout the State of Michigan.  The injuries suffered in these accidents are severe and many times catastrophic.  For the injured biker, it is essential that the best motorcycle accident lawyer be selected to handle the case. 

The motorcycle laws in Michigan are complex and choosing a lawyer without the necessary specialized knowledge can simply ruin the claims and diminish the likelihood of a great settlement.  But how does an injured biker decided which lawyer should be chosen for the case?

Do all lawyers in Michigan know how to handle motorcycle accident and injury cases?

No.  The insurance laws in Michigan regarding motorcycle accidents and auto accidents are very confusing  and change on a daily basis.  The No-Fault law was created in 1973 and there have been over 2,000 written court opinions regarding these laws. 

The fact that Attorney Ernie drafted a will for your uncle or that Lawyer Linda handled your cousin’s divorce case does not make them qualified to handle a motorcycle accident case.  Many attorneys who claim to be specialists in motorcycle accident cases do not know the intricacies of the laws relating to motorcycle accident cases. 

While many lawyers will offer to represent you in your case, it is important to choose a lawyer to represent you that handles serious motorcycle accident injury cases everyday and has significant experience and expertise in representing injury victims.  Lawyers without this knowledge and experience may not be familiar with or even understand these laws and its many technicalities, which could cause you to lose your benefits and your opportunity to obtain a settlement in your case.

 How do you find the best motorcycle accident lawyer for your case?

 The best way to find the right lawyer is to know the right questions to ask before you hire a lawyer for your case.  These questions are a good start:

 1.         What experience do you have handling serious motorcycle accident injury claims?

2.         Have you ever written a book, like this one, on motorcycle accidents and insurance claims?

3.         Have you ever spoken to groups of other lawyers and professionals about  accident cases and  insurance laws?

4.         Do you have a website with information on motorcycle accident cases and free forms that I can print to make my insurance claims?

5.         What kinds of settlements have you received for your clients?

 The lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. will give you honest answers to these questions.  Our firm has represented injury victims and their families throughout the State of Michigan for almost forty years.  Our lawyers have the thorough knowledge, expertise, and experience in handling these cases and understand how to handle difficult cases and best represent our clients.
