I read a story in the newspaper today about a fatal M-14 wrong way accident this morning near Beck Road on the Washtenaw/Wayne County border. According to the Michigan State Police, a 58-year-old Ann Arbor woman was driving on M-14 when a car allegedly travelling the wrong direction, driven by a Beverly Hills woman, hit her head-on. The Ann Arbor woman died at the scene.

Police state the driver lost control of her car and alcohol was not a factor.  The Beverly Hills woman was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital. Police are still investigating this tragic accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the Ann Arbor woman for their loss.

The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case.

Also, the family members of the deceased Ann Arbor woman may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused this accident.

A Lenawee County jury returned a verdict in a car accident case in favor of the accident for approximately $2,000,000.00.  This is a substantial verdict in any part of the State of Michigan, but especially significant for Lenawee County where jurors are considered conservative when awarding compensation to injury victims.  The accident victim suffered a closed head injury in the accident.

The negligent driver had insurance company with Farm Bureau Insurance Company.  Incredibly, the insurance adjuster offered only $100,000 before the trial to settle this serious injury case.  Well, the jury clearly saw through the smoke and mirror defense and the adjuster grossly underestimated the magnitude of the case, and the tremendous skill of the lawyer for the accident victim.  There will most likely be significant penalties awarded against the Defendant in this case and the insurance company will be probably be required to foot the bill, as it should.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the driver a speedy and full recovery. I hope that he has no permanent deficits from this accident.
