Grand Rapids Hit and Run Car Accident Lawyer

A Grand Rapids hit and run car accident happened when a woman became frustrated with traffic on Saturday morning near an Elks Lodge on Linden Avenue. The woman backed her car up, but she clipped one pedestrian and struck another. That person was dragged under the car while the car crashed into a building. The woman fled the scene but subsequently turned herself in. Both victims of the accident suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident.

This seems like it was a brutal accident, and I hope that both victims are able to recover fully. I want to remind everyone that leaving the scene of an accident violates state law and many municipalities have separate hit and run ordinances.

My law firm represents people injured in car accidents. The best thing the two pedestrians can do is to have a family member submit a Michigan No Fault insurance claim. This will cover their medical expenses and lost wages if they have to miss work because of the accident. They may also be eligible for other benefits depending on the severity of their injuries. Finally, if the pedestrians were very seriously hurt in the accident, they may also have a legal claim directly against the driver for damages not covered by the No Fault Act.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
