According to statistics, motorcyclists are nearly 28 times more likely than other road users to die in an accident, and 142 motorcycle fatalities—or nearly 14.3% of all road fatalities in Michigan that year—occurred there in 2017, according to the Governor's Highway Safety Association.It is crucial to speak with a knowledgeable motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you are involved in a crash.
