Detroit School Bus Accident | Michigan Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
A Detroit School bus accident has resulted in the death of a pedestrian. The accident occurred on Conant Street near Gaylord when a 41-year old man was walking across the street. According to reports, the accident occurred in the early morning while it was still dark, street lights in the area were not working, and the man was wearing dark clothing. No children were on the bus at the time. The bus is owned by Safeway Transportation.
This is very tragic, especially since it is so senseless. Even if it was dark, the bus should not have been traveling so fast that it could not stop in time to avoid hitting a person. I want to express my condolences to the family of this man. At least there were no children on the bus, since bus accidents are often much worse than car accidents due to the lack of seatbelts and other safety features on buses.
Although the family probably does not want to think about this right now, they should submit a claim for Michigan No Fault insurance. Submitting a claim now will give them immediate support through a survivor loss claim, which will pay a portion of the funeral expenses. No Fault benefits will also cover the cost of any medical expenses incurred by the man because of the accident and may provide a portion of his wages if he was working or seeking work when the accident occurred. In addition, the family can sue the bus driver and Safeway Transportation for wrongful death. There are several legal theories they can sue under, which is why they should consult an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer for help in evaluating their options.

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.
