Ann Arbor Drunk Driver Car Accident

Our Ann Arbor car accident lawyers are reporting an Ann Arbor drunk driver accident that took place at about 12:45 a.m. on August 7th. According to police, a car was going west on Ann Arbor Road near Hackett Street when it turned and struck another vehicle traveling the other direction head-on. The driver of the at-fault car had a blood alcohol content of 0.15 at the time of the accident.  Her and three people in the other vehicle sustained injuries due to the car accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident. I hope the injured victims have a fast recovery without any permanent damages.

Our Ann Arbor car accident lawyers advise victims of their legal rights. For this type of Ann Arbor drunk driver accident, the injured individuals 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 victims can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.

In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against the other driver if determined to be at fault. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. Another possible claim for anyone injured by the alleged drunk driver would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident. At the very least, she should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
