Our Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a fatal Southfield motorcycle accident.  We represent the biker’s family in this lawsuit.  The motorcyclist was riding his bike on 12 Mile Road near Franklin Road when a motorist negligently turned in front of his motorcycle and struck him.  He was thrown from the motorcycle and died at the scene.  Police issued a ticket to the driver and the prosecutor’s office is considering filing criminal charges.

The wrongful death lawsuit seeks all permissible damages under the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute.  These include claims for the loss of his companionship by his family, loss of earnings, funeral expenses, and other damages.  The suit was filed in the Oakland County Circuit Court.  No trial date has been set.

Our Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers advise victims of their legal rights. If the motorcycle crash did not involve contact with another motor vehicle, a legal claim can not be made. However, since the bike accident did involve another motor vehicle, the family of the deceased victim may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits. This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.  Depending on the cause of the accident, the family of the deceased may also be able to file a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit as well.

The injured motorcyclist may be able to make a claim for Michigan no-fault benefits. No fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.  At the very least all parites invovled should contact the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.

A west Michigan man was killed early Tuesday morning when he struck a tree that had been felled by Monday’s powerful storms. According to the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department, construction barrels warning motorists of the obstacle had been removed sometime Monday night. The motorcyclist had been wearing a helmet and traveling at a prudent speed, but was apparently unable to avoid hitting the tree after cresting a hill.

This fatal crash leaves many questions unanswered. Most importantly, why were the construction barrels removed while the obstacle remained in the road? By all accounts, the victim did everything a motorcyclist should do: he was wearing a helmet and obeying the speed limit. While the storm system that moved through lower Michigan earlier this week was responsible for many downed trees and power lines, this particular hazard had been identified and a barrier set up.

All fatal accidents are tragedies. This one seems particularly awful because potentially life-saving warnings had been inexplicably removed from the area prior to the crash.
