Michigan Motorcycle Insurance Laws Are Confusing

Michigan is a No-Fault state. For cars that is hard enough. For motorcycles it is even more complicated.

Under Michigan law, many riders do not carry the same Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits on a motorcycle policy that car drivers carry. Instead, when a car or truck causes your crash, you usually seek No-Fault benefits from the auto insurer of the motor vehicle first.

This order of priority typically looks like this:

Insurer of the owner of the motor vehicle.
Insurer of the driver of the motor vehicle.
Auto insurer of the motorcycle operator.
Auto insurer of the motorcycle owner.
If no coverage is found, the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP).

This is why it is critical to hire a lawyer who understands this order. We identify the correct insurer fast, file the right claims, and fight when insurers push your case off on someone else.

The Michigan "One Year Rule" And Deadlines

Michigan has strict time limits for No-Fault claims. This is often called the one-year rule.

Under MCL 500.3145, an action for Personal Protection Insurance benefits generally must be filed within one year of the accident.

The Lee Steinberg Law Firm explains this as the One Year Back rule.
Warning: Unpaid medical bills or wage losses that are more than a year old can be lost if they are not protected in time.

We track every deadline in your case from day one and move fast when an insurer drags its feet.

We Fight Biker Bias In Every Case

“Biker bias” is real. Adjusters and defense lawyers often assume riders speed or weave through traffic. If you got hurt, they assume you must have been reckless. We do not let that stand.

Our motorcycle team knows how to fight insurance bias:

We lock down scene photos, witness statements and video before memories fade.
We bring in experts when needed to show visibility, speed and line of sight.
We highlight the car or truck driver’s violations, not your choice to ride.
We show the real person behind the helmet – worker, parent, veteran, neighbor.

What You Get In Your Free Motorcycle Case Review

From the first call, we work to put you in a stronger position. In your free motorcycle accident consultation, we cover:

Fault analysis: Was the driver texting, drunk, or speeding?
Insurance priority: Which insurer is legally responsible for your bills?
Benefit calculation: We estimate your lost wages and pain and suffering value.
Protection: We explain how to avoid recorded statements that twist your words.
Evidence preservation: We map out how to protect your bike, helmet, and gear.
The legal game plan: We walk you through how we plan to win your case.

There is no obligation after this call. You decide if we are the right Michigan motorcycle accident firm for you.

Car Accident

Plaintiff was paralyzed from the waist down after being struck by a car traveling approximately 50 mph. The Plaintiff was riding a bicycle on a sidewalk and had the right of way to cross the intersection when the car made a turn, striking him directly. At first, the defendant denied liability but the responding policy officer placed the at-fault driver at-fault. In addition, our firm performed our own investigation, including taking witness statements and meeting with experts to solidify the negligence of the at-fault driver. Our client suffered a fractured vertebra in the cervical spine with edema of the spinal cord. He lost the ability to fully use his extremities and will likely be wheelchair bound for the rest of his life. He also suffered a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury.

Verdict

$1,855,000

Car Accident

Our client was killed while traveling on I-75 in Genesee County when a wheel fell of defendant’s pick-up truck, which was pulling a trailer. The wheel flew over the median wall and through the windshield of the decedent, causing fatal injuries. The defendant initially denied any wrongdoing and attributed the entire accident to a freak occurrence. However, through aggressive investigation by our firm, including the hiring of multiple experts including an accident reconstructionist and metallurgist, the Lee Steinberg Law Firm proved the horrible tragedy was the fault of the defendant and could have easily been prevented through basic inspection.

Settlement

$1,300,000

Construction Accident

The Lee Steinberg Law Firm secured a settlement for a man injured while on a work-site. As he was placing his hand on a plywood door frame, the frame gave way causing him to fall 14 feet.

The 54-year-old landed on both feet, shattering both heals and ankles, requiring multiple surgeries and fully disabling him from further employment.

Following the accident, she had a low back fusion surgery. She turned to the ride share company for the payment of Michigan no-fault benefits and uninsured motorist benefits.

Wrongful Death

A driver on M30 in Gladwin County failed to properly slow down for traffic that was waiting in line to make a left turn.

The crash was extremely violent, causing the plaintiff to sustain fatal injuries.

Settlement

Car Crash

A Shiawassee County man was operating a sedan when he was hit crossing an intersection by another vehicle that failed to see him. The collision was horrific and our client’s car was totaled. The “jaws of life” were used to extract him from the wreck. Our law office retained an accident reconstruction expert to investigation and explain why the other vehicle was at-fault for causing the accident. A trucking expert was also retained. After an intensive period of discovery, the defendant had no ability to dispute liability and was forced to accept blame. His injuries included a low back fusion, an operation to repair a torn left shoulder, multiple oral surgeries and depression.

Settlement

$870,000

Car Accident

Plaintiff was in a line of traffic on Haggerty Road when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of him.

The Lee Steinberg Law Firm was able to recover lost wages, the payment of medical bills, payment to family members for attendant care and replacement services, as well as pain and suffering.

Settlement

$850,000

Car Accident

Our client was walking in a popular shopping mall when she was hit by a car. The driver of the car was adamant he was not at-fault for causing the crash. The insurance company for the driver placed all the blame for the accident on our client. As a result of the crash, our client sustained a fetal placental abruption. The medical examiner called it a stillbirth. The defense disputed the fetus was viable and did not want to pay anything. After aggressive and persistent discovery, including numerous depositions and the use of experts, our firm resolved the lawsuit for the family for $850,000.

Settlement

$850,000

Settlement

$750,000

Car Accident

A commercial truck driver failed to notice that traffic had come to a stop and rear-ended the pick-up truck our client occupied.

After a tough battle, our client passed away from his injuries.
