A Lansing Motorcyclist was injured in a car accident with an SUV last week. The accident occurred when the SUV pulled out in front of the motorcycle and hit it. The driver of the SUV was fine, but the motorcyclist was in serious but stable condition.

This is a tragic accident which could have been avoided if the driver of the SUV was more aware of the surroundings including other cars and motorcycles on the road. I hope the motorcyclist has a full and speedy recovery.

Even though the motorcyclist was not driving a car, he is still entitled to Michigan No Fault benefits which include payment of all hospital bills and medical expenses as well as additional benefits depending on the severity of her injuries. These benefits could include payment for household chores that he can no longer do for himself and for any care or supervision of the injured driver that is required as a result of the accident. Finally, if he has to miss work because of injuries suffered in this car accident, his No Fault insurance will pay benefits for his lost wages.

The motorcyclist may also have claims for their personal injuries suffered in the accident. If, as sounds likely, he is determined to be free of fault, he will also have a claim against the negligent driver.
