David Femminineo - 85565CRASH Car Accident Attorney

After a car accident, you’re thinking about physical injuries, damage to your vehicle, and who’s at fault. You’re dealing with a police report, the other driver, and your insurance company. You just want to feel like someone is on your side, even when you know you aren’t the at-fault driver. Unfortunately, the insurance company is the wrong entity to rely on for support. (more…)

People in Michigan celebrate New Year’s Eve just like everyone else – with parties and dinners and drinks to toast the turning of the calendar. Unlike many parts of the country, however, Michigan is unique for its relentless winter climate. Combining the perils of NYE drinking and revelry with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can lead to fatal car accidents. (more…)

Michigan residents are no stranger to snow and ice. That doesn’t mean, however, that every motorist is adept at driving in bad weather. Taking preventive measures to safeguard your vehicle and reminding yourself of the best moves to make in unexpected weather situations can go a long way toward preventing a Michigan car accident this winter.

Teens want to roam free most of the time, and they may think they can get away with just a little more on Halloween when they’re kind of “expected” to be tricksters. The rules shouldn’t be lax just because it’s October 31. In fact, this is a night when you want to put more rules into place, especially for teen drivers. (more…)

With September comes football and tailgating is part of the celebration for hardcore revelers. You grill and have a few beers in the parking lot before heading into the stadium. You meet at a bar and drink and eat while watching with fellow fans. You watch on the big screen at a friend’s house in the company of your favorite people. Wherever and however you celebrate the big game, tailgating is a good time – until it’s not. There are plenty of potential personal injury lawsuits waiting to happen on game day. (more…)

Labor Day caps the end of the 100 Deadliest Days for driving, particularly for teen drivers. From the end of May through the end of August, teens are afforded freedom from school. While they may have jobs and other responsibilities, they have far more time to spare. These moments can be filled with friends, fun, and drinking. A Labor Day car crash caused by drunk driving is no way to start the school year. (more…)

What do you do when you see an accident on the side of the road or a car pulled over for speeding? Do you slow down to gawk, do you speed on by? Most of all, do you steer clear of the situation? Michigan State Police have begun to enforce the Move Over law, which requires drivers to move over to an adjacent lane when they are approaching any vehicles with flashing or rotating lights that are parked on the roadside. This move is for the safety of all motorists and people at the scene, and helps prevent Michigan car accidents. (more…)

Bicyclists have the right to be on Michigan roads, just like cars and trucks. A bicycle accident between a bike rider and motor vehicle, however, is not uncommon. Motorists do not always share the road, and not all cyclists observe the law. This disregard for Michigan legalities can lead to treacherous highways and far too many crashes, often fatal. (more…)

This past summer, James Thomas Bush was killed when his motorcycle collided with Officer Thomas Murphy’s police car. Over the past five months, the family of Bush has held out hope that someone would be held accountable for their son’s death. But, last week, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office determine that no warrant will be issued against Murphy, a St. Clair Shores police officer, and no criminal charges will be filed. The fatal collision happened on July 22 around 9:30 p.m. (more…)

Thanksgiving and Black Friday officially kick off the end-of-year holiday season. Revelry is at a high from the end of November through early January. And with these celebrations often comes an excess of alcohol consumption. Holiday parties, reunions with friends, family get-togethers – these are natural occasions to open a bottle of alcohol and toast to each other. Sadly, these are the last festivities some people ever experience because many of them become involved in fatal car accidents as a direct result of their indulgence in alcohol.  (more…)
