Morton Twp., MI (August 1, 2024) – A teenager was airlifted from the scene of a motor vehicle accident and flown to an area hospital with significant injuries. The collision occurred at around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 30.
Official reports indicate that a 71-year-old man, a 17-year-old girl, and two additional passengers were all riding a golf cart in the area near 100 Avenue and Pierce Road. For unknown reasons, the golf cart was sideswiped by a second vehicle. The vehicle fled the scene of the crash without stopping. Police and firefighters shut down the road to assist at the scene. The 17-year-old was severely injured in the crash. She was flown by AeroMed to a hospital in Grand Rapids for emergency treatment. Multiple other victims were transported to area hospitals by ambulance for treatment. At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope the injured victims recover quickly.
In recent years, the incidence of significant car accidents has been increasing in various states, including Michigan. Despite efforts to reduce risky driving behaviors such as speeding, general negligence, and driver distractions, the number of injury-causing crashes continues to rise each year.
If a driver acted recklessly or negligently, you have the right to file a claim and seek compensation for your losses, including any injuries you sustained. Victims of car accidents often encounter substantial financial struggles alongside enduring physical pain and suffering. Serious injuries like brain trauma, burns, spinal cord damage, fractures, and internal bleeding can occur even in seemingly minor accidents. These injuries, which can be life-threatening or long-lasting, are unfortunately not uncommon. Additionally, accident victims may experience PTSD, anxiety, and confusion, particularly after an injury or the loss of a loved one due to someone else's actions.
When pursuing damages for a clear fault in a car accident, the last thing you need is further confusion or frustration. Unfortunately, the process can often be overwhelming and stressful. Navigating Michigan's personal injury laws can be intricate and complex, with numerous regulations and legal nuances that must be understood. Insurance adjusters, trained in various strategies, often employ tactics designed to diminish victims' rightful compensation when negotiating directly with insurance companies. They may downplay the severity of injuries or dispute liability, leading to further complications in the claims process. Therefore, it's vital to immediately contact a knowledgeable Morton Township car accident lawyer who can guide you through the legal maze, advocate for your rights, and help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.
