A common question asked to our Michigan motorcycle accident attorneys is, “Who has to pay for the repair and damages to my motorcycle?” The short answer to this is usually your own motorcycle insurance pays for the damages. The long answer has two parts. First, if the motorcycle accident is with an automobile. When the accident is with an automobile the at-fault drive and owner of the automobile is not responsible for any damages done to your motorcycle, not even you’re deductible. However, if you want compensation then for the repairs and damages done to your motorcycle, you should contact your insurance company and purchase Collision Insurance.
Second, if the motorcycle accident is with another motorcycle. In this case the at-fault driver and owner of the motorcycle is responsible for the repairs and damages of your motorcycle. Overall, the amount you must pay out of pocket depends on the amount of coverage you purchased and the amount of your deductible.
Am I Responsible for Motorcycle Damages Under the Michigan No-Fault Law?
Well, under the Michigan No-Fault Act a motorcycle is not considered to be a motor vehicle (an automobile, car, or truck). Therefore, an at-fault driver and owner of a motorcycle does not have No-Fault immunity. Moreover, regardless of the other vehicle being an automobile or a motorcycle, you can be liable for the damages and repairs to the other vehicle. Luckily, the damages and repairs to the other person’s vehicle will be covered by your insurer, up to the property damage limits of your policy, but only if you purchased the required insurance for your motorcycle.
What is considered a “Serious” Injury in a Michigan Motorcycle Accident?
“Serious” is a very loose term and its definition varies from case to case. Some examples of possible qualifying injuries are listed bellow.
Fractured and broke bones
Back and neck injuries, like herniated and bulging discs
Nerve damage
Injuries that require surgery or substantial treatment
Closed head and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Psychological injuries, like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder
Injuries which cause disability from work and daily activities
Compensation for Michigan Motorcycle Accidents
Similar to the first paragraph, compensation works slightly differently depending on if the other vehicle was an automobile or a motorcycle. For both, the driver of the other vehicle needs to be at-fault. However, in addition to this, if the other driver is driving an automobile then you need to have sustained a serious injury as well. In both types of accidents this applies for the driver of the motorcycle and/or the passenger on the motorcycle.
