Michigan Motorcycle Accident Insurance Benefits Lawyers: Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids
With the long Winter finally gone and warm weather finally here, Michigan bikers are taking their motorcycles on the roads in record numbers. Unfortunately, many motorists often ignore the rights of bikers and cause serious and often catastrophic Michigan motorcycle accident cases. The insurance laws for Michigan No-Fault insurance cases are confusing on this issue and not every injured biker is entitled to no-fault insurance benefits. How does an injured Michigan biker qualify for these benefits?
First, there must be basic minimum liability insurance on the motorcycle to qualify for these benefits. Without this minimum insurance coverage on the bike, there is no entitlement to benefits. The other requirement is that the accident and injuries must “arise” from another motorvehicle, which would be either a car or truck.
In many instances, there would be actual contact or collision between a motor vehicle and the motorcycle. This clearly satisfies the “arise” requirement to qualify for No-Fault benefits. However, many insurance companies and attorneys do not know that there does not have to be actual contact with the motor vehicle to have the accident “arise” from the use of a motor vehicle. There is no requirement that the motorcycle actually collide with or be struck by either a car or truck, but rather that there was some involvement with the motor vehicle that caused the accident.
For example, if the motorcycle was forced off of the roadway by a motor vehicle, the accident would arise from the use of a motor vehicle. Or, if two motorcycle collided because a truck unlawfully entered into a lane of traffic and caused the bikers to collide, it would arise from the use of a motor vehicle. This is a very important distinction and must be evaluated on a case by case basis.
