Motorcycle accidents in Michigan must adhere to a specific set of rules and laws.  A motorcycle is not considered a “motor vehicle” by Michigan’s no-fault law however individuals injured on motorcycles certainly have many benefits and protections under the law.

Individuals who have been injured while riding a motorcycle can unfortunately sustain very serious injuries as a result of the weight of the motorcycle and the lack of protection surrounding the rider as would be the situation in an automobile.  Statistics have shown that a motorcyclist is at a much higher risk of being injured or dying in a motorcycle accident than an occupant of an automobile would be.

Michigan requires an additional endorsement on an individual’s driver’s license to allow him or her to legally operate a motorcycle on the streets of Michigan.  The reason is that it is different driving a motorcycle as compared to driving a car.  Jim Elliott is a motorcycle endorsed driver and has owned and driven motorcycles on and off road for many years.  He is well informed concerning the laws relating to motorcycle accidents and has the experience to handle even the most difficult cases.
