Traverse City area crash claims the lives of two men

Traverse City, MI – Sometimes, a small mistake while driving can turn out to be fatal. Drivers should always be careful to follow all relevant traffic laws and avoid distractions to ensure that they are not injured during a crash. If an accident happens, the people involved may want to retain a lawyer to see if they can receive compensation to help pay for injuries and other losses. 

According to the Record Eagle, a 23 year old male died a few days after sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle collision [1]. 

Three cars collide near intersection

Police had initially responded to a three vehicle crash at the intersections of Gray Road and M-72. They believe that the man’s car struck another vehicle from behind. The people in the car that was hit from behind went off of the road, but none of them sustained serious injuries. After this initial impact, two vehicles struck head on when a car going in the opposite direction went straight into the victim’s car. The victim was transported to Munson Medical Center with critical injuries. 

The victim lived nearby in Lake Ann. Lake Ann is located just west of Traverse City. A 44 year old man from Ironwood, Michigan was also reported to have died in the crash. At the time of the news report, police were still waiting on the results of a toxicology report to see if anyone involved was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. 

Determining financial responsibility for an auto accident

Drivers in Michigan are all required to have basic liability coverage for their vehicles. This type of coverage includes an amount that can be used towards property damage, as well as coverage of medical costs incurred by anyone involved in an accident where the policyholder is considered at fault. If there is an accident lawsuit, the victim may also ask for additional forms of compensation such as pain and suffering, or funeral and burial costs if there needs to be a wrongful death lawsuit. Some lawyers dedicate their time to working with accident victims, and they will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, or win compensation for their clients at trial if necessary.
