What happens when a Michigan resident is involved in an automobile crash in another state, while visiting, travelling through, or on vacation? Out-of-State accidents come with special challenges for the residents, especially once they head home to Michigan and try to sort out their rights. Which state’s laws apply? Which insurance company pays my bills? If you were injured, where can your lawsuit be filed? The answers to these questions can be complicated- I cannot give a simple answer on this blog.

If you are injured in an out-of-state crash, ChurchWyble, P.C. can advise you on your rights in a free legal consultation. No-fault benefits can become very complicated if you’re in an out-of-state crash, and often times insurance companies don’t respect, or even understand, the rights of their insureds in these situations. In the event you need an out-of-state lawyer, we can point you in the right direction, as we work with a network of personal injury attorneys all across the U.S.

For example, my friend and colleague, Iowa attorney Stephen Lombardi recently blogged about this all-to-common scenario. Joseph Stachowski, Jr., 70 and Judy Kay Stachowski, 66 of Westland, Michigan, were involved in a serious crash last month while traveling in Iowa. The couple lost control of their 32-foot Peterbilt motorhome. Their motor home, and the SUV it was towing, became airborne and it landed, hit a concrete culvert before coming to rest, upright in the median.  The couple was airlifted from the scene. ChurchWyble, P.C. handles referrals both to and from Iowa, to capable, knowledgable attorneys such as Mr. Lombardi.

ChurchWyble has been in Lansing since 1951, protecting the rights of injured people. Follow us on Facebook here.
