GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS - No Fault Laws

The state of Michigan enacted the no-fault insurance acting in 1979. The no-fault act substantially changed motorcycle accident liability. Prior to 1979, standard negligence applied to motorcycle accidents. A person injured in a motorcycle accident was required to prove duty, breach, proximate cause, and injury (negligence).

First Party Motorcycle Accident Claims

The Michigan motorcycle no-fault act created two different types of claims. There is a first party claim and a third party claim. A first party claim is a lawsuit that a victim files against their own insurance carrier for first party benefits on their insurance policy. In Michigan, all motorcycle insurance policies provide for lifetime medical benefits in addition to other benefits listed in the automobile insurance policy. A first party claim involves a dispute over that policy between the claimant and the insurance company. They usually involve disputes over reasonableness of medical treatment and benefits. No-fault benefits are provided to a person who sustained a motocycle accident that causes accidental bodily injury arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of a motorcycle. First party benefits usually include wage loss for up to three years, replacement services for three years, medical expenses, certain survivor’s losses, and funeral expenses. Typically, an attorney will take a first party claim on a contingency fee basis. An addition, actual attorney’s fees are available if an insurance company refuses to pay legitimate claim or unreasonably delays the payment of benefits. When determining your rights under a first party claim you must first look at the insurance policy and what benefits it provides. Secondly, you must review the no-fault insurance act to determine what additional rights you have under the law.

Third Party Motorcycle Accident Claims

A third party motorcycle accident claim involves a lawsuit between the injured motorcycle rider and a negligent car driver. The no-fault act limits the motorcycle accident injured party's ability to collect damages against a negligent driver. The injured motorcycle driver must demonstrate a threshold injury. The injured party must establish that he or she has suffered death, permanent or serious disfigurement, or the serious impairment of a body function. Once the motorcycle rider has sustained a threshold injury they are not required to maintain that threshold injury. The original intent in creating a threshold before a party can file a lawsuit was to reduce the number of lawsuits involving motorcycle and automobile accidents.
