Our Canton, MI, Injury Lawyers Handle Many Types of Motorcycle Accident Cases
We believe you have the same rights to the road as other vehicles, and you deserve to be able to ride safely. Unfortunately, we often see how the carelessness and recklessness of other motorists who do not respect riders leaves responsible people like you paying the price.
When bikers suffer collision injuries, they are often left with long-term or permanent disabilities or months of rehabilitation to regain abilities they lost. Some of the common injuries we see in our clients include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and other head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries, neck and back injuries, and paralysis
- Amputations
- Serious fractures and crush injuries
- Burns, road rash, and significant scarring
- Fatal injuries
How Christensen Law Seeks Bike Crash Damages for Deserving Clients
We investigate each crash to determine how the driver’s negligence caused the collision and our client’s injuries. We often uncover traffic violations, careless behavior, drinking or drug use, distracted driving, and other issues by analyzing evidence like:
- Eyewitness reports
- Expert opinions from accident reconstruction specialists
- Accident reports from the Canton Police Department, including BAC test results
- The liable driver’s cell phone records (if they were texting and driving)
- Photos or video of the accident itself or events occurring before or after
We then negotiate or litigate the case to hold the at-fault party accountable and recover the damages our client deserves.
Our Canton, MI, Motorcycle Crash Lawyers Assess Your Options After an Accident
Securing a fair payout after a Michigan motorcycle crash is often a challenging process because of the way the state’s No-Fault auto insurance laws handle bikes. Under MCL 500.3101 (3)(i)(i), motorcycles are not motor vehicles. This sometimes causes insurers to deny claims or refuse to negotiate with victims.
However, this is not supposed to happen. Michigan law, codified at MCL 500.3114 (5), outlines several options for recovering fair compensation for your damages. This includes:
- Filing a claim against the car owner’s insurance policy
- Filing a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy
Pursing the Damages You Deserve After a Bike Accident
When a crash victim suffers the loss of an important bodily function as a result of a crash, Michigan law allows them to pursue a case based on the at-fault driver’s negligent actions or inaction. This is how our bike crash attorneys in Canton frequently recover large sums for our clients with catastrophic crash injuries.
It is possible for injured riders with qualifying injuries to recover compensation that includes:
- Current and future medical care and related costs
- Missed income and reduced ability to earn in the future if there are permanent injuries
- Related expenses, such as the cost of hiring people to take over household chores you once performed but can no longer do
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic damages
- Wrongful death damages for families that lost loved ones
What Should You Expect During a Free Consultation with Our Canton Motorcycle Accident Lawyers?
During your confidential consultation with our bicycle accident injury firm in Canton, you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about your case or our services. At the same time, you should expect our team to ask you questions about your crash. You should be prepared to answer:
- Who owns the motorcycle? Is it yours, or does it belong to someone else?
- Did the motorcycle have insurance?
- Who was at fault in the collision?
- Was anyone ticketed as a result of the accident?
- Did the other driver have insurance?
- What are your injuries? What is your prognosis?
- Did you go to the hospital, or did you receive care from a doctor?
During this conversation, our bike accident lawyers will assess your legal options and possible next steps based on your answers to our questions. In addition, our legal team will explain how our contingency fees work and how you will never pay us out of your own pocket. We only get paid from the money we recover for you.
When Should You Contact Our Canton, MI, Motorcycle Accident Attorneys?
It is a good idea to speak to our team for motorcycle accident representation as soon as your injuries allow you to pick up the phone and make the call.

Before we file a lawsuit, we need to take many other steps to develop a strong and convincing case.
