Michigan Motorcyclist Threshold Level Injury

The Motorcycle Legal Minute™ was created by Jason Waechter, THE Motorcycle Lawyer, to explain Michigan’s motorcycle law in a short and easy to understand way.

After a Michigan Motorcycle Wreck, How Injured Do You Have to Be to Qualify for Pain-and-Suffering Damages?

Even though a negligent car driver was 100% the cause of a Michigan motorcycle accident, a biker is not entitled to injury compensation unless he or she has a ‘threshold-level injury.’

To meet the threshold there must be either a death, a permanent serious disfigurement, or a ‘serious impairment of body function.’ Death and permanent serious disfigurement is self-explanatory.

To prove ‘serious impairment of body function,’ we basically must show, first, that the injury is medically identifiable. A medical test objectively, and most easily, shows this. For example, an x-ray shows a broken bone. Second, the injury must be to an important body function. And third, the person’s life must be significantly affected.

There are too many nuances and details surrounding the threshold level injury requirement to explain in our succinct Motorcycle Legal Minute.  See our eBooks below for more information.
