UTV Accident Causes Serious Injuries to Client
Our client was a passenger in a Polaris UTV. There were three people in the vehicle, with someone sitting in between the driver and our client. They were riding through the woods late at night. The owners of the property left overgrown plants in the woods and there were no lights on the path.
The driver missed a bridge that traverses a creek. The vehicle fell into the creek, rolling onto its top, and injuring our client. Our client’s hair got stuck around the UTV and she was left face down in the creek. Our client was forced to rip out part of her hair to keep from drowning and free herself from the UTV. Williams County Sheriff’s Office came to the scene and our client was life-flighted to Toledo Hospital with a broken neck. The doctors found fractures in two of her cervical vertebrae. She also had an injury in her ribs which caused pain when she took deep breaths. There was also pain in her elbow, as well as dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and anxiety.
Charles Boyk and his team received a call from our client’s husband regarding representation. They worked with the client to gather information on the accident. We are currently investigating the matter while also helping the client with treatment and insurance.

Our clients were traveling northbound on State Route 199 approaching Bays Road. One of our clients was driving, with her daughter sitting in the passenger seat. At the same time, another car was traveling southbound on State Route 199 also approaching Bays Road. The other car began turning left onto Bays Road but failed to yield to our client. They struck our client’s car. The Wood County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene.
Our injured clients were transported to Fostoria Hospital by ambulance. The mother suffered a broken leg. She underwent imaging in the Emergency Room. She was diagnosed with permanent arthritis, depression, and a chest injury. Her daughter was also injured, having a broken ankle and pain in her knee, back, neck, and wrist.
They contacted Charles Boyk Law Offices five days after their accident. Charles Boyk and his team got to work helping our clients receive the medical treatment necessary. We will continue to work on their case to get them the fair compensation they deserve.
Man Severely Injured After Driver Fails to Yield
While driving east on Sterns Road in Michigan, our client was struck by another car. The other driver was driving westbound on Sterns Road and was attempting to turn on the entrance ramp to US 23 South. They did not yield to our client who had the right of way and struck the front of our client’s car. The Monroe County Sherriff’s Office responded to the scene and cited the other driver for failure to yield.
Both parties were brought to the hospital by ambulance. Our client was evaluated and found to have a broken sternum, two broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung, and two broken vertebrae. He had abrasions on his body. He stayed three nights in the ICU. Now, our client must use a walker to help him get around. He also wears a heart hugger to help keep his chest in place.
