Many Myths & Misconceptions with Michigan's Motorcycle Law:
There are so many myths and misconceptions about Michigan's confusing and often illogical Motorcycle Law. Many "personal injury lawyers" do not know the specific nuances involving Michigan motorcycle accidents. Some include:
Urban Myth: “No-Fault does not apply to motorcycles.”
Answer: It depends.If a car, truck, bus or van is “involved” in the crash, No-Fault Benefits may be paid.*
Urban Myth: “Physical contact with my motorcycle and the other vehicle is required to qualify for No-Fault Benefits.”
Answer: No, a car, truck, van or other “Motor Vehicle” (not motorcycle) only needs to be “involved” in the accident. You may be entitled to No-Fault benefits if you take evasive action to avoid a motor vehicle. *
Urban Myth: “Hit & Run cases: If a car hits me, takes off and is never found, there is no case.”
Answer: It depends. If you have Uninsured Motorist Coverage, you may still obtain compensation for your injury.No-Fault Benefits are also available.*
Urban Myth: “If I have ‘full coverage’ on my bike, I’m covered for everything.”
Answer: No.There is no standard or legal definition of “full coverage.”You need to specifically ask for the coverage you want.
Urban Myth: “In Michigan I have three years to file claims and lawsuits.”
Answer: No.You do have three years to sue for a negligence case; however, some types of claims must be made within one year.
Urban Myth: “If I have collision coverage on my cycle, all my accessories and custom work is covered.”
Answer: No. Ask your agent what ‘extras’ are covered.
*Exception: If you are riding your own uninsured motorcycle, you will NOT be paid wage loss, medical bills or other No-Fault Benefits.Make sure you insure your bike.
There are many exceptions, special definitions and complex issues that cannot be explained in this material.It is not intended to be a substitute for case specific legal advice.Your legal rights greatly depend on the facts of your accident.
