A Lenawee County jury returned a verdict in a car accident case in favor of the accident for approximately $2,000,000.00.  This is a substantial verdict in any part of the State of Michigan, but especially significant for Lenawee County where jurors are considered conservative when awarding compensation to injury victims.  The accident victim suffered a closed head injury in the accident.

The negligent driver had insurance company with Farm Bureau Insurance Company.  Incredibly, the insurance adjuster offered only $100,000 before the trial to settle this serious injury case.  Well, the jury clearly saw through the smoke and mirror defense and the adjuster grossly underestimated the magnitude of the case, and the tremendous skill of the lawyer for the accident victim.  There will most likely be significant penalties awarded against the Defendant in this case and the insurance company will be probably be required to foot the bill, as it should.

I saw a story in the paper today about three pedestrians injured by a vehicle in Jackson on Saturday. According to the Jackson Police, Jessie Chaffin and his children were waiting to cross the southbound lanes of Wisner Street, between Argyle and North, when a Ford Edge, driven by Susan Kill of Jackson County, allegedly struck them causing serious injury. Jessie Chaffin and his son were taken to Allegiance Health and his daughter was taken to an Ann Arbor Hospital with a head injury. Police are still investigating this tragic accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish Jessie Chaffin and his children the fullest and speediest recovery possible. I hope that they suffer no permanent deficits.

I read in a story in the paper today about a Parking Lot Accident in Jackson County that injured one man. According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Gregory Krutsch was loading a pick-up truck in the parking lot of Menards on Page Avenue when a elderly Napolean Township woman allegedly hit his truck with her Ford Explorer.

Krutsch was thrown from the truck and landed on the hood of the Explorer. He was taken to a local hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries. Police are still investigating the accident.

I saw a tragic story on the news, over the weekend, about a Fatal I-94 Car Accident in Ypsilanti.

The mother and one of the teens were seriously injured and the other teen was killed. Police are still investigating the accident.
