A 40 year old biker suffered fatal injuries in a Detroit motorcycle accident last night.  Police report that Rochelle Ringo was travelling on Gratiot when a van turned into her path and caused the accident.  The driver left the scene of this hit and run accident.  Detroit police are following up leads to find the driver. 

It am always amazed at the indifference of a person who could be involved in such an accident and leave the scene without knowing if the accident victim will survive.  I certainly hope that the driver is caught and brought to justice.  My thoughts go out to this woman’s family.

The surviving family may have a number of legal rights to pursue, even though the negligent driver has not yet been identified.  This could include claims for funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of this woman’s companionship.  There are deadlines for filing these claims and it is important to hire a Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible to look into all possible claims.

A Detroit motorcycle accident that occurred after a high-speed chase has ended with the deaths of the motorcyclist and a pedestrian.  On November 4, 2008, a Michigan State Police trooper attempted to pull over a motorcyclist for a traffic violation near East Davison and Conant.  The motorcyclist slowed down when the trooper turned on the emergency lights but then sped up to a high rate of speed and struck a pedestrian that was crossing the street at a traffic light, which the motorcyclist ran.  Both were killed.

This is a completely senseless accident and there was no reason for it to occur.  A traffic ticket is simply not worth it.  I feel very bad for both of the families involved.

The pedestrian’s family can very likely sue the motorcyclist’s estate for wrongful death.  They may also be able to submit claims to various insurance companies, such as a life insurance company.  Similarly, the motorcyclist may have had motorcycle insurance or life insurance that his family could submit a claim to.  Both families should consult with a lawyer in the near future to ensure they are collecting the full amount of benefits and to determine what options they have in this unfortunate situation.
