Detroit Single-Vehicle Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

If you or someone you love has been injured in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident that was caused by another party’s negligent or careless actions, Ravid & Associates, P.C. is here to help. As a rider or passenger, you understand the specific risks associated with riding motorcycles, but that doesn’t mean that you are not eligible to take legal action if you are hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent actions.

A single-vehicle motorcycle accident is when the motorcycle is the only vehicle involved, and the accident was caused by outside factors, such as road defects or defective parts. When an accident occurs because of the carelessness or recklessness of another party, you might be owed compensation for what happened to you. Even if there was no other party directly present in the actual accident, someone else might still be responsible for your accident. At Ravid & Associates, P.C., we aim to bring the responsible party forward so that they can pay what they owe you for your suffering.

What Are the Causes of Single-Vehicle Motorcycle Accidents?

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, approximately half of all fatal motorcycle accidents occur as single-vehicle accidents. Sometimes defects in the road or improper signage are to blame in single-vehicle motorcycle accidents. Issues with the bike itself, such as manufacturing defects or defective parts, are also common causes. In all these cases, someone’s negligence was the underlying factor that caused the accident, and that person should be held responsible.

The type of motorcycle engine may also be a contributing factor to single-vehicle motorcycle accidents. Twice as many drivers died on a sport motorcycle than did on cruisers and standard bikes. Four times as many drivers were killed in accidents involving supersport motorcycles.

Don’t think that just because your motorcycle was the only vehicle involved in the accident it means that you have to be stuck with the bill. The compassionate and dedicated attorneys of Ravid & Associates, P.C. will be able to sit down with you to examine the facts of the accident. We will work tirelessly to figure out who is responsible for your single-vehicle accident so that they can be held liable for your pain and suffering.

What If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

The law regarding drivers and passengers wearing helmets can be purposefully manipulated by insurance companies when assessing your single-vehicle motorcycle accident claim. In Michigan, residents are allowed to ride motorcycles without helmets if they are 21 years of age or older. Both drivers and passengers must each have a minimum of $20,000 of medical insurance coverage. Drivers must also have either passed a state-approved motorcycle safety course or have had a motorcycle endorsement for at least two years. Even though it is perfectly legal to ride without a helmet, insurance companies may try to minimize your claim if you weren’t wearing one.

Don’t allow this law to lead to a reduction in your possible compensation; the Detroit lawyers at Ravid & Associates, P.C. are ready to explain your legal rights and options fully to make sure that you are not shortchanged by greedy insurance companies.

What Compensation Can I Receive for a Single-Vehicle Motorcycle Accident?

Compensation is not guaranteed for all lawsuits. Even two very similar cases may produce opposite results. Examples of recoverable damages may include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Expenses related to your medical care
  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost wages (present and future)
  • Loss of enjoyment, companionship, or comfort
  • Disability or disfigurement
  • Physical or mental pain and suffering

It is important to talk to an experienced motorcycle attorney to discuss the specifics of your case. Your attorneys will listen to your story, will investigate the cause of the crash, and will determine which party or parties may be at fault. Only after the case has been evaluated will you know what your claim may be worth. Don’t wait until it is too late to get the compensation you are owed. Talk to an experienced attorney today to get started on your claim.
