With summer comes an increase in motorcycles on the roads, which unfortunately also raises the risk of accidents. In the event of a motorcycle accident involving motor vehicles, riders should know what steps to take. Attorneys Melissa Heinz and Zak Drabczyk from Gruel Mills Nims and Pylman Associate shared important tips on being prepared before riding. It is crucial to contact 911 immediately after an accident for proper documentation. Michigan's motorcycle insurance laws differ from those for cars or buses. While liability insurance is required for motorcyclists, it may not cover medical expenses, so it's vital to review your policy with your insurer and seek legal help for understanding the insurance framework. Remember that auto laws in Michigan only apply if a motorcycle is involved with a motor vehicle, not in motorcycle-to-motorcycle collisions. The attorneys emphasize the importance of cautious riding, avoiding distractions, and wearing appropriate safety gear to protect yourself on the road. They underline that many accident victims in Michigan are entitled to various compensations like wage loss, medical coverage, and pain and suffering damages. For guidance on the legal process after an accident, consult Gruel Mills Nims and Pylman's attorneys who offer free consultations and operate on a no-win, no-fee basis.
