Motorcycle Accidents
Grand Rapids Motorcycle accidents have unique legal issues that must be examined differently than car accidents. There may be issues of contact between your motorcycle and another vehicle; product liability issues such as where there may be a defect with a kickstand or handle bars; and government liability issues where there is a defect with road design.
Even where some of these issues may exist in a car accident, they are not usually investigated or litigated because the value of the injuries may not exceed the insurance policy limits. However, motorcycle accidents usually involve far more serious injuries than those sustained in a car accident. Motorcycle injuries are so serious that they are often worth as much as $100,000 to $1,000,000 and even several million dollars.
Because of the extreme value of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, investigation a Grand Rapids motorcycle accident must involve every aspect which could produce additional insurance coverage. For instance, the City of Grand Rapids or Kent County could be liable for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident with a car because of improper road design.
Again, because of the extreme value of injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, it is vitally important to uncover any additional insurance policies or umbrella insurance. Unfortunately, insurance companies often lie about the existence of other insurance policies and umbrella insurance. We utilize the only investigative agency with access to the national insurance company database to uncover additional insurance policies and umbrella insurance.
