Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Grand Rapids

In Grand Rapids and throughout Michigan, motorcycle accidents mostly occur due to distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and failure to yield. Adverse weather conditions, road hazards, and defective parts can also contribute to these incidents. 

You should consider hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer if:

• The insurance company won't accept your claim
• You encounter disputes over liability 
• You suffered serious injuries
• Your loved one died as a result of the motorcycle accident 
• You are unsure whether you have a valid motorcycle accident claim 

A legal professional can help you understand your rights and options for obtaining compensation after a motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle accidents can lead to serious injuries and even death. We've seen cases where victims suffered fractures, head and back injuries, burns, road rash, whiplash, and spinal cord damage, among other serious injuries.

Victims of motorcycle accidents may experience various problems relating to their physical and mental health now and in the future. Chronic pain, disability, post-traumatic stress disorder, and emotional distress are common long-term consequences of such accidents. 

Yes, you should get checked even if you don't show any signs of immediate serious injuries after a motorcycle accident. That's because some injuries may not manifest symptoms right after the accident. The longer you wait to seek medical attention, the more serious these injuries could become. Also, the other party will likely question the severity of your injuries if you take too long to get checked by a doctor.

We usually recommend getting checked as soon as possible, preferably by calling 911 and requesting an ambulance at the accident scene. If for some reason you are unable to get medical help right away, you should arrange a check up with a doctor no later than 72 hours after the accident.
