  Car Crash Lawsuit Will Go to Trial, Judge Says
Posted By Freedman & Freedman

A Lenawee County Circuit Court judge has rejected an attorney’s request to dismiss an auto accident lawsuit against his client.   

Mario Lawrence Parker was sued by his neighbor, Chad Fox, following an accident that left Fox with spinal cord injuries. Fox was a passenger in Parker’s replica Ford GT40 sports car when, driving at a high rate of speed, Parker lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a utility pole.  

After the accident Fox sued Parker for damages. But the attorney representing Parker argued that the case should be thrown out. He claims Fox was able to return to work within three weeks, and that his injuries only interfered with his ability to pay golf and softball. He also argued that Fox’s injuries did not impair an important bodily function, nor did they compromise his general ability to lead a normal life.

But Fox’s attorney fired back, saying that Fox’s injuries did warrant a trial.

“In this case, the plaintiff’s ability to have a social life away from work has certainly been taken away from him. You can see here that we’re not looking at a minor bump or bruise for a short period of time,” said the attorney.

The case will now be tried before a jury to determine whether or not Parker is liable for paying damages.

  Two Injured in Fire Truck Accident
Posted By Freedman & Freedman

Two people were injured after a fire truck collided with a Ford Taurus.

The accident occurred last month when an unidentified 64-year-old driver failed in his attempts to yield the right-of-way to an oncoming fire truck. The driver was traveling on the southbound side of Dexter Pinckney Road when he lost control of his vehicle and careened into the northbound side of the street, where he was hit by the fire truck.

The driver of the Ford and one firefighter were injured in the accident. Emergency medical services transported the injured parties to a local hospital where they were treated for their injuries. The driver was listed in stable condition and the firefighter was treated for minor injuries.

The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office is still conducting an accident investigation, but so far no legal action has been taken.

  Teenager Was Texting Right Before Deadly Accident
Posted By Freedman & Freedman

A teenager in Georgetown Township was killed in an accident police think was caused by texting while driving.

Texting while driving, as with any other form of distracted driving, significantly increases an individual’s chances of getting involved in an accident. In fact, one study found that people who text while driving are more than 20 times more likely to get in an accident than those paying full attention to the road.

The victim in this case was 18-year-old Eric Helm, a student at Jenison High School. Police believe Helm was texting his girlfriend back and forth in the minutes leading up to the accident. Helm was driving westbound on Port Sheldon Street when he crossed into oncoming traffic at a curve in the road and hit a pickup truck head-on.

Police say that if Helm hadn’t been texting, he would likely have noticed the curve in the road and remained in his lane.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an car accident caused by a person who was texting while driving, you have legal rights that may entitle you to compensation. A Detroit personal injury attorney at Freedman & Freedman can help you exercise those rights by filing an injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party in an effort secure the largest possible settlement. We strongly believe that those who act recklessly and negligently must be held accountable for their actions, and that’s exactly what we intend to do.
