💡 Insurance companies often move quickly to minimize payouts or shift blame onto you after an intersection crash. Knowing how fault is determined and what steps to take right away can make all the difference in protecting your recovery!

Because motorcycle riders lack the physical protection of a standard vehicle frame, a crash on our local roads can lead to catastrophic, life-altering injuries in a fraction of a second.

Too often, these accidents happen because other drivers fail to share the road or look out for riders properly.

Wondering how a car accident claim works if you happened to share some of the blame? In Michigan, the law handles shared responsibility through a system known as comparative fault ⚖️

Under this rule, being partially responsible for a crash doesn't automatically mean you can't recover compensation, but your exact percentage of fault will reduce your total recovery. However, there is a critical threshold to keep in mind: if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering certain damages, such as compensation for pain and suffering.

Insurance adjusters often look for ways to shift blame to minimize payouts, which makes understanding how fault is determined vital to protecting your rights.
