I read a tragic story about a  Hastings man and his 15-year-old daughter were injured in a Hastings Motorcycle Accident on July 14th.  According to police, the bikers were allegedly riding on South Hanover street when a semi-truck allegedly turned in front of them and they struck the rear wheels.  Police continue to investigate the accident.

Both riders were hospitalized with serious injuries and they’re conditions are unknown at this time.  I  am sorry that this accident happened and wish them both a fast and full recovery. 

Because the accident is still under investigation, there apparently has not been a determination of fault for the accident.  If the police determine that the truck driver was at fault, the accident victims may have possible claims against the truck driver and trucking company.

Additionally, both of the injured bikers may be entitled to Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits related to this accident.  This provides for payment of medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses.  Their entitlement will depend on a number of factors, including their insurance policies and the specific facts of the accident.

A Courtland Township man was killed in a Kent County Motorcycle Accident on July 14th in Cedar Springs.  According to police, they allegedly found Robert Polovich  lying near his 1997 Harley-Davidson on South Main Street Tuesday Evening. Police state that Polovich was riding on South Main Street through a construction zone when he apparently lost control of his bike and crashed. He was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries but eventually died from those injuries. Police are still investigating the accident.

I am sorry that this accident happened.  I offer my most heart felt condolences to his family for their loss.

I  feel that it is important for those families of a person killed in a motorcycle accident to know their legal rights.  If the road that the biker was riding upon is shown to be unsafe and caused the accident, the family may have a legal claim against the government agency resposnible for the maintaining the roadway.    For a complete explanation of the rights of injured bikers in Michigan, you should request our FREE BOOK, “The Ultimate Michigan Motorcycle Accident Handbook.”
