Motorcycle Accidents in Michigan

Motorcycle crashes in Michigan can have devastating consequences due to the lack of protection for riders. According to the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning, motorcyclists are significantly more likely to suffer serious injuries or fatalities in collisions compared to those in passenger vehicles. Many crashes occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or unsafe road conditions.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Left-Turn Collisions – Many accidents happen when a vehicle makes a left-hand turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Drivers often misjudge the motorcyclist’s speed or fail to notice them.
• Blind Spots & Lane Changes – Due to their smaller size, motorcycles are more likely to be overlooked in a driver’s blind spot, increasing the risk of collisions during lane changes.
• Road Hazards – Potholes, loose gravel, or uneven pavement pose a greater danger to motorcyclists than to cars. Even minor obstacles can cause a rider to lose control.
• Speeding & Reckless Driving – Both motorcyclists and vehicle drivers who speed or drive aggressively increase the risk of severe accidents. High-speed crashes are more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities.
