Motorcycle Crashes in Michigan

In Michigan, motorcyclists are at great risk of suffering life-threatening injuries in the event of a crash. Statistics show that nearly 80% of motorcycle accidents end in death or injury. Motorcycles account for less than 0.3% of all state-registered automobiles in Michigan, but in 2016, they were involved in about 1% of all traffic accidents in the state. Every 4 hours and 2 minutes, a motorcycle rider is hurt in a Michigan car accident, and their injuries are frequently more severe than those of passengers.A major motorcycle accident can happen at any time, and a crash can happen when you least expect it. After a crash, there is a significant chance of suffering injuries you were not prepared for. Unfortunately, the accident itself is only the beginning of a protracted rehabilitation process, as your recovery could take several weeks, months, or even years. When another driver's recklessness contributed to your injuries, dealing with the aftermath of your collision is far more difficult. You need to safeguard your legal rights and see a personal injury attorney who is experienced in handling injury claims. Working with a lawyer is the best way to ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries.If you want to pursue a claim for compensation, a car accident lawyer in Grand Rapids can help.
