A DeWitt Township car accident tragically killed two young men and wounded all seven members of a DeWitt family. The accident occurred on November 16, 2008 on Clark Road where it crosses U.S. 127. The accident happened after a pickup truck fishtailed into a minivan. Justin "Jup" Chapman, 22, of DeWitt and Tyler McClure, 24, of Lansing, the driver of the pickup truck and a passenger, respectively, died at the scene of the accident. The Brown family, including the parents and 5 children all suffered injuries of varying degree, with the worst being suffered by the Browns' 11-year old foster son, who is in ICU at Sparrow Hospital.

This accident is a tragedy. I want to extend my sympathies to the everyone involved and I hope everyone in the Brown family is able to recover completely.

Everyone involved in this accident is eligible to receive Michigan No Fault insurance benefits, including the children and Justin Chapman, who arguably was at fault for the accident. No Fault insurance will pay all medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and other benefits. The Chapman and McClure families will be able to collect survivor loss benefits as well.

In addition, if Justin Chapman is in fact determine to be the at-fault driver, Tyler McClure's estate and any members of the Brown family who were seriously injured in the accident may be able to file a lawsuit seeking additional compensation for their injuries. An experienced Michigan car accident attorney would be able to help evaluate their potential case.

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.
