Motorcycle Accidents in Michigan

Motorcycle crashes can be particularly dangerous on Michigan roads. Despite making up a small percentage of total traffic, motorcyclists account for a disproportionately high number of serious injuries and fatalities. In 2023, more than 2,000 motorcycle crashes were recorded across the state, many of them leading to long-term consequences for riders.

The risks involved in riding a motorcycle are unique, and so are the challenges after a crash. Below are some common issues that motorcyclists may face after an accident:

• Lack of Physical Protection: Unlike cars, motorcycles offer no external structure to protect the rider. This increases the likelihood of direct impact and serious trauma, especially in collisions with larger vehicles.
• Road Hazards: Gravel, potholes, slick surfaces, and debris pose greater dangers to motorcycles than to other vehicles. A small obstacle for a car can become a major hazard for a motorcyclist.
• Driver Negligence: Many motorcycle accidents occur because other drivers fail to see or yield to motorcyclists. Common behaviors include unsafe lane changes, left-hand turns, and distracted driving, which can have devastating results for riders.
• Bias Against Riders: Motorcyclists often face unfair assumptions from law enforcement or insurance companies, which can impact their ability to receive fair compensation. Having proper legal representation helps protect against these biases.
• Helmet and Gear Issues: Even when wearing protective gear, motorcyclists can still suffer head trauma, fractures, and internal injuries. The effectiveness of helmets and safety equipment can vary significantly, especially in high-impact crashes.
