A recent accident at the intersection of Hull Road in Vevay Township brought attention to the dangers motorcyclists and automobiles face on Michigan’s roadways. The crash involved a motorcycle and a car—tragically leaving the motorcyclist with serious injuries. This incident highlights the risks that intersections can pose, particularly for motorcyclists who are more vulnerable to injury than other road users.
While investigations are ongoing, this accident sheds light on common causes of collisions at intersections.
Motorcycle accidents
Motorcycle accidents often carry a heavy toll, including physical injuries, emotional trauma, ongoing medical care, and loss of income. Victims understandably feel overwhelmed in the aftermath, dealing with medical bills, insurance claims, and uncertainty about their futures.
Michigan’s auto insurance system provides some protections, offering no-fault benefits such as coverage for medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault in the accident. However, when a motorcyclist suffers serious injuries, they may also have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver to seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages.
If you or a loved one experiences an accident, it’s crucial to take the right steps:
- Seek Immediate Medical Care – Your health is the priority. Prompt care ensures injuries are addressed and documented for any future claims.
- Preserve Evidence – Take photos, note witnesses, and gather information from other drivers involved in the collision.
- Get a Copy of the Police Report – This document includes important facts about the crash.
- Notify Your Insurance Provider – Inform your insurer of the crash as soon as possible.
- Consult Legal Help – Navigating the complexities of Michigan’s no-fault system and pursuing claims against at-fault parties requires knowledge of the law.
