Pedestrian Severely Injured in West Bloomfield Car Accident
A West Bloomfield car accident left a pedestrian severely injured after being struck by a Ford Focus on Middlebelt Road near Square Lake Road on Monday afternoon, according to authorities. The incident, which occurred around 3:45 p.m., involved an adult male attempting to cross the road outside of a designated crosswalk. He was hit by the vehicle and immediately transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Deputy Chief of Police Dale Young confirmed that the pedestrian is expected to survive, despite the severity of his injuries.
Preliminary investigations indicate that neither alcohol nor drugs played a role in the crash, Young added. Middlebelt Road was temporarily closed between Orchard Lake and Square Lake Roads to allow for an investigation by authorities. The road remained shut down for at least an hour as investigators began collecting evidence to determine the cause of the crash and whether the driver could face potential charges. While it’s too early to say if the driver will be held responsible, the investigation is ongoing.
Types of Compensation Available for Pedestrians in West Bloomfield Car Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can result in life-altering injuries, leaving victims with medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. In situations like this West Bloomfield car accident, the injured party may be entitled to several types of compensation. Victims can seek medical expenses for hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care related to their injuries. In addition to covering medical costs, compensation may also include lost wages if the victim is unable to work during their recovery.
Another critical element is pain and suffering compensation, which acknowledges the physical and emotional distress that often accompanies severe injuries. Future earning potential is another aspect of compensation, particularly if the victim is unable to return to work in the same capacity due to long-term injuries. Compensation could also include the cost of any necessary modifications to the victim’s home or vehicle to accommodate new physical limitations.
