Can A Motorcycle Rider or Passenger Get No-Fault Benefits?
Many people do not realize this, but a motorcyclist can get Michigan no-fault benefits that are usually only for car accident victims. However, there are two basic eligibility requirements.
First, if the owner of the motorcycle is involved in the crash the owner must have maintained motorcycle insurance at the exact time of the crash. MCL 500.3113.
Second, a “motor vehicle”, like a car or truck must be involved in the incident that caused the injuries. This does not mean the motorcycle must make physical contact with a striking car or truck. The law only requires involvement.
The no-fault benefits an injured rider or passenger can get include:
- Medical bills up to the (personal injury protection) PIP limit
- 85% of lost wages for up to 3 years
- Household replacement services for up to 3 years
- Out-of-pocket medical costs and co-pays
- Nursing care and other benefits.
These cases can be tricky and auto insurance companies may try to get out of paying first-party benefits when a motorcycle accident occurs. That is why it’s essential to contact a Sterling Heights motorcycle accident law firm that specializes in these cases.
