Two hit and run accidents in Macomb County, Michigan over the weekend were reported by the police. Both involved pedestrians. A 53 year old man was struck and killed on Kelly Road in Fraser. The driver did not stay around to assist the man. A 42 year old man suffered serious injuries and is hospitalized after being struck by a car on Gratiot Road in Clinton Township. That driver also fled. Police are investigating both accidents.

Even though the drivers have not been identified, both victims have legal rights. Under the MIchigan No-Fault law, both pedestrians can obtain insurance benefits from either their own auto policy, a policy of a family member, or if none, the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility. These benefits include funeral expenses, medical expenses, and other benefits. My firm regularly handles these cases for pedestrians, even if they do not have their own insurance.
