    Niles Car Accident | Southwest Michigan Lawyers

    A Niles car accident has left four people with injuries.  The accident occurred on December 3, 2008 at South 11th Street and Chestnut Street when Olga Wehrly of Three Oaks turned into the path of Tom Forsey of Niles.  The impact forced Tom Forsey's car into the side of a truck driven by Brett Adams of Union who was waiting to make a right turn.  Three passengers and Olga Wehrly were transported to Lakeland Hospital in Niles.

    I am sorry this accident occurred.  I hope that everyone involved is able to fully recover from their injuries.

    These people should all submit a claim to their Michigan No Fault insurance.  No Fault insurance will pay for their entire hospital bill and any reasonable and necessary medical expenses for follow-up treatment.  If any of the passengers do not have a No Fault policy, they should speak with a lawyer immediately since it is very likely that they can collect benefits through someone else's policy.  This is because the No Fault Law establishes an Order of Priority for handling insurance claims.

    Under the Order of Priority, passengers should go through their own insurer first and then the insurer of someone they live with.  If no one in their household has a No Fault policy, they should submit a claim to the insurance company of the owner or operator of the vehicle in which their injury occurred.  Finally, if none of these people have a No Fault policy, they can submit a claim to the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility.

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.
