It’s great to see all of the bikers out enjoying the Michigan streets and highways in this warm Summer weather.  The long winter wait finally ended a few months back and you can see bikers out and about pretty much everywhere you drive.  At least, you should see the bikers if you are paying full attention to the roadway, and not fiddling with your stereo or sending text messages on your phone.

The Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers at my office have received a number of new cases recently for bikers who were injured in serious motorcycle accidents.  All of these have been due to motorists simply not paying attention to the roadway or just disregarding the rights of bikers.  The results of these accidents are often catastrophic.

Bikers injured in Michigan motorcycle accidents do have a number of legal rights.  These often include the right to Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits and the right to pursue injury claims against  a negligent motorist or truck driver.  Because the laws relating to motorcycle accidents in Michigan are unique, it is essential to choose a lawyer with expertise in these cases.

Attorney Daniel L. Buckfire in my office is considered a top Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer.  His book, “The Ultimate Michigan Motorcycle Accident Handbook,” is a must read for every biker who has been injured in an accident.  Daniel’s biker clients call him “the best motorcycle accident lawyer in Michigan” and he has a track record of successful settlements to prove it.

I hope that that this Summer proves to be a safe one for bikers in Michigan.  With the proper attention to the roadway, motorists can prevent accidents and injuries to law abiding bikers.  That would make a great Summer.

I read a tragic story about a Lansing man who was injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday between the border of Kent County and Ionia County.  Apparently, the biker was struck by a another vehicle and this caused his motorcycle to overturn several times.  The bike caught on fire and the man was trapped beneath it.  Other drivers who witnessed the accident assisted in pulled him out from under his bike.

The biker was taken to Spectrum Butteworth Hospital in Grand Rapids for treatment and is hospitalized for his injuries.  My thoughts go out to him and his family and I hope that he has a quick and speedy recovery.  I have great admiration for the other motorists who bravely pulled him from the wreckage and may have saved his life.

The accident victim and his family should be aware of his legal rights.  Because this motorcycle accident involved contact with another vehicle, the biker is entitled to Michigan No-Fault Insurance benefits.  This includes payment of medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits.  He may also have a claim against the motorist who caused the accident for his personal injuries.  These include claims for pain and suffering, disability, scars and disfigurement, and other claims.
