Passenger Falls Off Bike In Grand Rapids Motorcycle Accident
Our Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers are reporting a Grand Rapids motorcycle accident that took place on August 7th. According to police, Jeanine Serba was riding on the back of a motorcycle driven by Daniel Martin on U.S. 131 near Leonard Street when she fell off the back and was struck by a van and killed. It is undetermined as to why she fell off, and Martin sustained non-life threatening injuries due to the crash.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident. My condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim and I hope the injured victim has a fast recovery without any permanent damages.
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.
