Man Injured As the Result of a Police Pursuit

Many times, an accident injures someone who wasn’t  to blame. This is particularly troubling when it was a criminal who was at fault.  When you or someone you know was injured it makes such an event even more troubling.  Having good legal help in such an instance is never more important than when your health depends upon it.

Running from the police is never a good idea.  Fleeing from authorities can often cause injuries in others. Such was the case of a 76-year-old man who was critically injured in a recent incident.   A suspect was fleeing the Michigan State Police and ran a stop sign, crashing into the elderly man’s car.

The man who was fleeing from authorities did not receive any serious injury in the accident.   Police continue to investigate the incident, however, for now the elderly man who was injured could potentially be look at years of medical bills that he may not be able to pay.  In addition, there is the added expense and worry about the loss of income and pain and suffering.

If this has happened to you or a loved one, no doubt you can see firsthand the kind of stress that such an accident can bring. You could be out of work, dealing with recovering from injuries and attempting to find a way to make it back to normal life. None of that has to be something that you have to handle alone.  When you have the right attorney by your side through the court hearings, you could receive compensation for your injuries. With a Michigan Injury Lawyers attorney, you’ll have someone fighting on behalf of you, dealing with the hassle of insurance companies, unrepentant perpetrators, and their lawyers.

A simple consultation can tell you a lot about what you can expect, but you should never underestimate the kind of relief that monetary compensation can bring.
