Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents in Michigan can be life-threatening and cause serious injuries.

Lower-body injuries are a unique concern in motorcycle accidents. A broken leg, knee, ankle, or foot can cause serious impairment and require long recovery times. Our team has the experience of years of research into how lower-body injuries affect a motorcycle accident case.
02

Road Rash

Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan know that road rash is a serious injury that can occur in motorcycle accidents and can have long-term effects on a motorcyclist’s life months after a crash. Our attorneys take into account the possibility of the cost of future care for motorcyclists with serious road rash injuries.
03

Collarbone Injuries

Motorcyclists are at a high-risk for fractured or dislocated collarbones if they are struck by a negligent driver. These types of injuries can require surgery and long recovery times that can make a victim unable to work while they heal. Discussing your situation with our team can help you recover monetary damages and obtain compensation for pain & suffering.

Internal Bleeding/Organ Damage

In motorcycle accidents, operators and passengers can be susceptible to internal bleeding from blunt impacts. Injuries like spleen lacerations, intestinal bleeding, or punctured lungs can be caused even when wearing protective gear. Our firm can help injured motorcyclists in Michigan including Detroit, Warren, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids focus on healing instead of bills by ensuring they are compensated for their injuries.

Client Stories

John Had Injuries Due to an Accident, Told by Our Clients

“Knowing Bob from hockey and how competitive he is, I knew he was going to get whatever he could get.”

Do I Have a Case?


Both passengers and operators are eligible to bring a case against a negligent party who caused their injuries.

Lost wages, inability to work, chronic pain, or diminished quality of life all factor into the strength and value of a motorcycle accident claim.

In most motorcycle accidents, Michigan requires that your claim be filed within three years of the crash. However, some claims, especially those involving government commercial vehicles and buses, have much shorter notice statutes of limitations. Some are as short as 60 days.

Documentation from your doctors and medical professionals are critical to proving the injuries and damages in your claim. These records include physical therapy reports, x-rays or MRIs, and surgical reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

A motorcycle accident claim comes about after an accident. A motorcycle accident lawyer in Michigan will explore two issues: liability and damages. When you are injured due to a negligent driver, the driver is liable for your damages. Damages are calculated based upon the extent of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life.

In Michigan, you must prove that a negligent driver violated the standard of care. This can be as simple as proving that they did not follow the established Michigan traffic laws or can be more complex and requires experienced Michigan motorcycle accident attorneys to obtain reports, records, and more.

It is best to hire a motorcycle accident lawyer in Michigan as soon as possible. When pursuing claims against negligent drivers it is important to preserve all pertinent evidence. Our team has experience and the resources to obtain scene inspections, downloads of vehicle electronic data, and obtaining experts, when necessary, to fully investigate the crash.

Yes. Please bring any medical records, photographs, and police reports that you may have obtained following your motorcycle accident. If you don’t have these documents available, don’t worry, our motorcycle accident attorneys will quickly begin to gather the necessary documentation if we accept your case after the consultation.

At Giroux Pappas Trial Attorneys we work on a contingency fee basis, which is a common payment model for personal injury lawyers in Michigan. This means you do not pay anything up front. Instead, the contingency fee is based upon a percentage of the settlement or verdict, but only if we successfully recover compensation for your injuries.
