Bloomfield Twp, MI (February 2, 2022) - A woman was killed after being struck by a motor vehicle in a Bloomfield Township parking lot on Sunday afternoon, January 30.
A 50-year-old woman was walking through a grocery store parking lot when she was hit by a motor vehicle driven by an 83-year-old man. The man reportedly thought he had just hit a curb.
Bystanders had to get the man’s attention and let him know that he had hit the victim. He stopped his vehicle and remained at the scene while authorities were present. The woman suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the deadly accident is under investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and her family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise across the country, and roadways are becoming more unsafe with each passing day. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in an accident. In the event of a collision, pedestrians have little protection, making them more vulnerable to fatal injuries.
When a loved one dies as a result of another party's negligence, wrongful death lawsuits are filed with the goal of compensating the surviving family members. On the other hand, getting that compensation is frequently easier said than done. The fact that the victim died does not absolve the perpetrator of blame. After a fatal accident, insurance companies for those who are at fault frequently try to shift blame. Instead of compensating the deceased's family members following a fatal car accident, the defendant should compensate the family members to help with accident-related expenses. You'll need the assistance of a personal injury lawyer in Bloomfield Township who has extensive experience representing wrongful death victims.
