Motorcyle accidents frequently result in serious injuries. Always make sure to wear a helmet, even if it is not required.

Police in Lancaster County are investigating a motorcyle accident on December 4, 2011 where one person was killed and another seriously injured. The crash occurred when the motorcycle on which they were riding struck a tree. Reports say that Ronald Ferrara, 46, of Christiana, was driving the 1998 Harley-Davidson Road King west in the 1000 block of Gault Road when he lost control on a curve causing the cycle off the road.

Eventually it traveled up an embankment and struck a tree. Ferrara was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger on the bike, 27-year-old Megan Leinhouser of East Earl, sustained multiple broken bones.

If you have any information on the accident please call the East Earl Township Police.

A 40 year old biker suffered fatal injuries in a Detroit motorcycle accident last night.  Police report that Rochelle Ringo was travelling on Gratiot when a van turned into her path and caused the accident.  The driver left the scene of this hit and run accident.  Detroit police are following up leads to find the driver. 

It am always amazed at the indifference of a person who could be involved in such an accident and leave the scene without knowing if the accident victim will survive.  I certainly hope that the driver is caught and brought to justice.  My thoughts go out to this woman’s family.

The surviving family may have a number of legal rights to pursue, even though the negligent driver has not yet been identified.  This could include claims for funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of this woman’s companionship.  There are deadlines for filing these claims and it is important to hire a Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible to look into all possible claims.

The Monroe County Sherrif’s Department is investigating a Monroe County Motorycle Accident that caused the death of Hollis W. Hurst, from Maybee, Michigan.  The accident occurred just before 8:00 p.m. when he was struck by a 1996 Pontiac driven by a 17 year old.  Fortunately, alchohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.  Mr. Hollis was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

I am sorry that this tragic accident occurred.  It is important that victims of motorcycle accidents be aware of their legal rights.  Mr. Hollis’ family may have a claim for Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits as a result this accident.  This will depend on the type of insurance that he purchased for his motorcycle.  If he did have the proper insurance, it would pay for funeral expenses, lost wages for three years, replacement services for three years, and perhaps some other benefits.  If the police investigation determines that the driver of the Pontiac was at fault for the accident, the family of Mr. Hollis may have a wrongful death lawsuit against that driver.  Typically, a claim against the driver and the owner of the car is made against the insurance companies.
