Left-Turn Motorcycle Crashes in Michigan: A Deadly Pattern
One of the most common and serious motorcycle crashes happens when a car turns left across a rider's path.
The Classic Left-Turn Collision
Drivers turning left often fail to see an oncoming motorcycle or misjudge its speed, turning directly into the rider's path.
Establishing Driver Fault
The turning driver usually bears responsibility for failing to yield, but insurers may try to blame the rider for speeding or visibility.
Protecting the Rider's Claim
To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering in Michigan, your injury must meet the serious-impairment-of-body-function threshold. Evidence countering rider-bias arguments is essential to a fair recovery.
