<p>Cars are a necessity for day-to-day commutes and living. Unfortunately, an everyday trip can also lead to the unthinkable and a recent local car accident is a reminder of the dangers on the road.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-accident-information">Accident Information</h2>



<p>On a recent day in Detroit, a tire flew off a vehicle traveling southbound on I-75, bounced over the median and went into the northbound lanes, where it struck a second vehicle, <a href="https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/nb-i-75-closed-at-davison-for-crash-msp-warns-expect-large-delays" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">causing the second vehicle to crash</a>. The driver of this second vehicle was killed. According to a news report, this car accident occurred in the late afternoon during clear driving conditions, and the driver of the first vehicle stayed to provide authorities with information following the accident.</p>

<p>Winter is coming to Michigan, and so are icy roads and difficult driving conditions. Mother Nature took a warning shot at Michigan drivers as slippery roads are being blamed for <a href="https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2021/11/26/1-person-killed-5-injured-in-crash-on-i-94-near-new-buffalo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an accident</a> that killed one person and injured three.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-accident">The Accident</h2>



<p>An SUV was heading east on I-94 when the driver lost control of the vehicle and struck a guard rail. The driver apparently managed to bring the vehicle to a full stop on the side of the road, and one of the four passengers got out to check on the driver. As the passenger was standing by the vehicle, she was struck by a Buick Lucerne, whose driver had aslo lost control of his vehicle. The woman was crushed between the Buick and the SUV, and she later died from her injuries.</p>



<p>The driver of the Buick and two persons who were passengers in the Buick suffered injuries that were not specified by the police. No other injuries were reported.</p>



<p>Police concluded that the accident was partially caused by cold, slick rain and icy road conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-anyone-at-fault">Is Anyone at Fault?</h2>



<p>Mother Nature, of course, has lifetime and complete immunity from suit. Can anyone else be sued for this accident? Poor driving conditions do not excuse the duty to use due care when driving. The driver of the Buick may have driving faster than was warranted by the conditions. The driver of the SUV may also have been negligent in handling his vehicle under the existing conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>



<p>Anyone who has suffered an injury or lost a loved one under similar circumstance may wish to consult an <a href="/practice-areas/auto-accidents/">experienced auto accident lawyer</a> for an evaluation of the facts and the role of the weather and for an opinion on the likelihood of recovering damages for medical expenses, lost income, present and future disability, and pain and suffering.</p>

<p><strong>Chesterfield Township, MI (January 27, 2021) – </strong>An auto accident reported in Chesterfield Township claimed the life of one person on Tuesday morning. On January 26, emergency crews were called to the site of a vehicle collision on New Haven Road.</p>



<p>Reports from authorities show that a 2013 Ram pickup truck was traveling southbound on New Haven Road when it collided with a 2015 GMC box truck just north of Interstate 94.</p>



<p>One person involved in the crash was fatally injured. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities later identified the man as 65-year-old Ronald Powers, who was driving the Ram truck.</p>



<p>The driver of the GMC, identified as a 55-year-old male from the New Baltimore area, was rushed to a nearby hospital for the treatment of serious injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.</p>



<p>We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Ronald Powers.</p>



<p>Our thoughts are with the victim who was injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.</p>

<p>Every year, thousands of people are involved in crashes throughout the state of Michigan. Although we hope everyone is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. <a href="/practice-areas/auto-accidents/">Motor vehicle accidents in Michigan</a>&nbsp;claim the lives of more than 800 people each year. These accidents are often preventable, yet we continue to see the devastating outcome that families are forced to endure. In numerous cases, victims are fatally injured in accidents as a result of another person’s driving. In fact, speeding, reckless driving behaviors, driving impaired, and disregarding traffic control devices are some of the leading causes of car accidents in Michigan and across the United States.</p>



<p>When accidents claim the lives of innocent victims, their families are often able to explore legal routes to retain compensation to help alleviate some of the costs they face moving forward. In Michigan, certain entitled parties can retain the guidance of a <a href="/practice-areas/wrongful-death/">wrongful death attorney Michigan</a> to file claims against those at fault. In many cases, families are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses, burial costs, and go without wages they have grown to depend upon. Dealing with the unexpected costs after the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. For this reason, families are able to file legal claims against at-fault parties to hold them accountable for their actions.</p>

<p><strong>Detroit, MI (January 25, 2021) – </strong>A serious injury accident reported in Detroit sent one person to an area hospital with injuries. Just before 7 p.m., on January 22, emergency crews received the request to provide assistance at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Wyoming Avenue.</p>



<p>Reports show that a 20-year-old male was traveling southbound on Wyoming Avenue in a black Ford Mustang when their vehicle collided with a black Chevy Malibu at the intersection of Fenkell Avenue. The crash caused severe delays after blocking the intersection.</p>



<p>The driver the ford was transported to an area hospital for the treatment of serious injuries. The driver of the Malibu received medical treatment for minor injuries at the scene. A passenger in the Malibu, identified as a 22-year-old woman, was transported to an area hospital for the treatment of critical injuries. &nbsp;At this time, the incident remains under investigation.</p>



<p>Our thoughts are with the victims who were injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.</p>

<p>According to statistics, around 310,000 vehicle collisions take place in the state of Michigan each year. Although more than 256,000 of these accidents result in only property damages, more than 55,000 people are left with debilitating injuries as a result of their accidents. Not only are many victims forced to deal with immediate consequences, but the long-term suffering can be overwhelming as well.</p>



<p>When victims are injured in accidents, they are often rushed to area hospitals for treatment. After undergoing emergency surgery, most victims are admitted and forced to spend several days or even weeks in a hospital or rehabilitation facility. As if being forced out of work to recover were not enough, victims are further burdened by stacking medical bills they need as a result of their injuries. In cases where victims are harmed by negligent or reckless drivers, they should contact a <a href="/practice-areas/auto-accidents/">car accident attorney in Michigan</a> immediately. Victims may be entitled to compensation to help alleviate the financial burdens they face for both economic and non-economic damages.</p>

<p><strong>Battle Creek, MI (January 18, 2021) – </strong>A motor vehicle collision reported in the Battle Creek area left three people injured on Sunday evening. At approximately 10 p.m., on January 17, the Battle Creek Police Department, Michigan State Police, LifeCare EMS, Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department, and the Battle Creek Fire Department&nbsp;responded to the scene of a collision on West Columbia Avenue.</p>



<p>Reports from the MSP show that a Michigan State Police vehicle collided with a black vehicle on West Columbia Avenue near Stevens Road in Calhoun County. The crash left both vehicles moderately damaged.</p>



<p>The Michigan State Police Trooper and two people in the second vehicle sustained severe injuries. All three victims were rushed to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo for emergency medical assistance. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.</p>



<p>Our thoughts are with the victims who were injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.</p>

<p>Victims who are injured in accidents often require surgery and hospitalization.

<p><strong>Detroit, MI (January 11, 2021) – </strong>A motor vehicle accident reported on Wednesday left one man severely injured in Detroit. Just after 4:15 p.m., on January 6, emergency crews were called to the scene of a crash on McGraw Avenue.</p>



<p>Reports from authorities show that a male was taking a vehicle part to his friend’s home to fix his car. He stopped for some food along the way. As the man sat in his vehicle at the intersection of McGraw Avenue and Tarnow Street, he was struck by a speeding vehicle.</p>



<p>The man was severely injured in the accident. Emergency crews arrived at the scene and rendered aid to the man before rushing him to an area hospital where he remains hospitalized with several serious injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.</p>

<p>Every year, numerous people across the United States lose their lives in plane accidents. Although aviation collisions do not happen as often as other types of vehicle collisions, their very nature means they are more likely to end catastrophically. In most cases, aviation accidents take place due to pilot error, communication problems, inclement weather, defects and malfunctions, and various other reasons. These accidents are often preventable, yet we continue to witness the overwhelming impact they have on victims and their families.</p>



<p>In many cases, families are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses, burial costs, and go without wages they have grown to depend upon. Dealing with the unexpected costs after the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. For this reason, families are able to file legal claims against at-fault parties to hold them accountable for their actions. Working with a&nbsp;<a href="/practice-areas/wrongful-death/">wrongful death attorney in Michigan</a>&nbsp;will ensure families are in the best position possible to protect their legal rights after the loss of a loved one.

<p><strong>Eastpointe, MI (December 31, 2020) – </strong>A city worker has lost their life following an incident on the job on December 30 in the Eastpointe area.</p>



<p>Authorities were requested to assist at the scene of a workplace accident on Gratiot Avenue on Wednesday after being notified that a worker was involved in an incident. Investigations show that a male in his 40s was working to repair a water main break on Gratiot Avenue near 8 Mile Road. While working, the trench collapsed on-site.</p>



<p>The man became trapped underneath the trench. Workers were able to remove the man after the collapse. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Authorities confirmed that the man later passed away from his injuries. At this time, investigations surrounding the cause of the incident are underway.</p>



<p>We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the worker who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.</p>

<p>Every day, millions of people across the state of Michigan head out to their place of employment. Although we expect a safe environment to perform the duties of our job, this is not always the case. The construction industry, in particular, comes with numerous uncertainties, dangerous, and unpredictable situations. Statistics show that roughly 4100 people lose their lives on the job annually. Around 800 of these workers are employed in the construction industry.</p>



<p>When workers lose their lives on the job, it can have a life-changing impact on their surviving relatives. In many cases, families are forced to come up with tens of thousands of dollars for funeral and burial services. Lost wages from losing a loved one can make accepting the situation seem impossible. To add to the financial burdens, many families are left with overwhelming mental and physical pain and suffering. Although the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult things to deal with, knowing that a loved one lost their life as a result of negligence can make the situation even more challenging to accept and come to terms with. In some cases, families can reach out to a <a href="/practice-areas/wrongful-death/">wrongful death attorney in Michigan</a> to explore legal options available to them. When workers lose their lives in accidents as a result of another person’s negligence, defective products, or equipment, and under various other circumstances, their families may be entitled to compensation to help alleviate the financial burdens they face moving forward.</p>



<p>We at Vahdat Weisman Law are dedicated to helping bereaved families get the justice they deserve after losing loved ones in construction site accidents. Our knowledgeable <a href="/practice-areas/">workplace accident attorneys in Dearborn</a> will go to the site of your loved one’s accident and gather evidence to ensure you have a strong case. Our attorneys provide respectful and compassionate representation to our clients while aggressively negotiating the full and fair compensation they need to recover. Contact our <a href="/contact-us/">personal injury attorneys in Michigan</a> at <a href="tel:+17344694994">(734) 469-4994</a> to see how our team can help your family get the justice you deserve.</p>

<p><strong>Detroit, MI (December 22, 2020) – </strong>A vehicle collision reported in the Detroit area claimed one man’s life on Sunday evening. At approximately 5:30 p.m., on December 20, emergency crews were called to assist at the scene of an accident on Grand River Avenue.</p>



<p>Reports from authorities show that a Buick, a Dodge Ram, and a Jeep Wrangler collided on Grand River Avenue at the intersection with Cass Avenue. The driver of the Buick, who was identified as a 60-year-old man, was trapped inside his vehicle. The man had to be extricated by firefighters. He was rushed to a local hospital where he passed away from his injuries.</p>



<p>A 13-year-old male involved in the accident was seriously injured. The teen was rushed to a nearby hospital for further medical assistance. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.</p>



<p>We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident.</p>



<p>Our thoughts are with the teen injured in this accident. We hope for his full recovery.</p>

<p>Every year, thousands of people are involved in crashes throughout the state of Michigan. Although we hope everyone is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. <a href="/practice-areas/auto-accidents/">Motor vehicle accidents in Michigan</a>&nbsp;claim the lives of more than 800 people each year. These accidents are often preventable, yet we continue to see the devastating outcome that families are forced to endure. In numerous cases, victims are fatally injured in accidents as a result of another person’s driving. In fact, speeding, reckless driving behaviors, driving impaired, and disregarding traffic control devices are some of the leading causes of car accidents in Michigan and across the United States.</p>



<p>When accidents claim the lives of innocent victims, their families are often able to explore legal routes to retain compensation to help alleviate some of the costs they face moving forward. In Michigan, certain entitled parties can retain the guidance of a <a href="/practice-areas/wrongful-death/">wrongful death attorney Michigan</a> to file claims against those at fault. In many cases, families are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses, burial costs, and go without wages they have grown to depend upon.

<p>Our thoughts are with the victims who were injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.</p>

<p>very year, more than 55,000 people sustain injuries in auto accidents throughout the state of Michigan.

Injuries like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries require immediate and long-term care.</p>



<p>When victims are injured in accidents, they are often rushed to area hospitals for treatment. After undergoing emergency surgery, most victims are admitted and forced to spend several days or even weeks in hospitals or rehabilitation facilities. As if being forced out of work to recover were not enough, victims are further burdened by stacking medical bills they need as a result of their injuries.

<p>Every year, thousands of people are involved in crashes throughout the state of Michigan. Although we hope everyone is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. <a href="/practice-areas/auto-accidents/">Motor vehicle accidents in Michigan</a>&nbsp;claim the lives of more than 800 people each year. These accidents are often preventable, yet we continue to see the devastating outcome that families are forced to endure. In numerous cases, victims are fatally injured in accidents as a result of another person’s driving. In fact, speeding, reckless driving behaviors, driving impaired, and disregarding traffic control devices are some of the leading causes of car accidents in Michigan and across the United States.</p>



<p>When accidents claim the lives of innocent victims, their families are often able to explore legal routes to retain compensation to help alleviate some of the costs they face moving forward. In Michigan, certain entitled parties can retain the guidance of a <a href="/practice-areas/wrongful-death/">wrongful death attorney Michigan</a> to file claims against those at fault. In many cases, families are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses, burial costs, and go without wages they have grown to depend upon. Dealing with the unexpected costs after the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. For this reason, families are able to file legal claims against at-fault parties to hold them accountable for their actions.</p>

In fact, around 900 people lose their lives in accidents throughout the state of Michigan each year. These collisions not only have a detrimental impact on the lives of those involved, but their families are often forced to deal with unimaginable consequences as well.</p>
