Your Michigan Motorcycle Injury Attorney A motorcycle accident has the potential for being a life-altering, if not life-threatening, experience. Due to the lack of structural protection provided by cars and trucks, being in a motorcycle accident will typically involve more serious and long-lasting injuries. But, regardless of whether your injuries are relatively minor muscle aches and bruises or the more serious broken bones, brain damage or coma – a motorcycle accident often means putting your life on hold. Both as a result of immediate pain and suffering and the lingering effects that may affect your ability to live, move and work for years to come, motorcycle accidents can change your life immediately upon impact. In order to help you deal with your pain, suffering and physical and financial losses, the law has created a system of compensation. Although we understand that money will not fix you or make things the way they used to be, it can provide you significant assistance in paying for medical expenses, loss of income and your pain and suffering. As a Michigan Motorcycle Injury Attorney who has handled motorcycle accidents and injuries that range across the spectrum in terms of seriousness, our attorneys understand the complexity of all issues involved. From types of damages available to defending you against such potential defenses as contributory negligence (particularly in cases where a helmet was not being worn) – your Michigan Motorcycle Injury Lawyer will ensure your case gets the justice and compensation it deserves.

I’ve Been in a Motorcycle Accident, Now What? What you do or, more importantly, fail to do immediately following a motorcycle accident can have a significant and potentially harmful effect on your personal injury claim. Granted, the first thing you need to do is to take care of yourself – ensuring your own wellbeing and safety. You also must make sure the police are called by either making the phone call yourself or ensuring somebody else has called. When the police arrive, they will survey the accident scene, interview witnesses and involved parties, make estimates as to property damage and file an official accident report. However, it is essential you to keep careful notes of what you see and hear at the accident site. Begin with your injuries, making detailed notes as to your injuries and pain symptoms – no matter how minor. You should also note the injuries of other parties, exact location of the accident, time of day, weather conditions, direction of travel, how the incident unfolded, license plate numbers and all vehicle damage (from both before and after the accident). The next step is to seek medical treatment. No matter how minor you think your injuries are, go to the nearest emergency room for a full examination. Take extra care to tell the medial personnel about all of your injuries and sources of pain and always double check they write it down as you recall describing it. Failure to do so may jeopardize your personal injury claim. After your initial treatment, continue to attend all medical appointments and even seek a second opinion. Always take detailed notes and records of how you are feeling and what you are able or unable to do. Go to the police station and obtain a copy of the police report. If you have motorcycle insurance, file a report with your agent. However, never give a statement or sign any waiver or release without first discussing it with your Michigan Motorcycle Injury Attorney. How Much Time do I Have? According to what is called Michigan’s No Fault Law, you have the right to such benefits as medical expenses, wage loss and replacement services as needed due to your motorcycle accident. However, each benefit is tied to a specific time period, or statute of limitations. This means you must properly file your claim within stringent timelines. If you miss a deadline, you loose your right to compensation. To ensure you do not miss any deadlines, you need to immediately contact a Michigan Motorcycle Injury Lawyer. Jannelle J.
