The Norton Shores Fire Marshall was injured in a motorcycle accident.  Norm Hosko is in critical condition after an accident that occurred as he was riding on M-37 north of Baldwin Road.  Norm Hosko was riding behind a trailer and collided with it when the vehicle pulling the trailer suddenly slowed down.  It appears that no one else was injured.

I am very sorry to have read about this accident.  I hope that Norm Hosko is able to have a speedy and complete recovery.

Because this accident involved a car, Michigan No Fault benefits are available to pay for Norm Hosko’s medical expenses and lost wages if he has to miss work because of the accident.  Other benefits, including household replacement services and attendant care, may also be available.  Norm Hosko or a member of his family should submit a claim for Michigan No Fault benefits quickly to avoid missing the strict deadlines set by Michigan law, which could result in a loss of benefits.

An Oceana County motorcycle accident has left one man dead.  Archie Welch, 50, of Hesperia lost control of his motorcycle and crashed when he ran over some hay bales that were in the middle of Filmore Road near 204^th Avenue in Leavitt Township on October 21, 2008.   It is not clear how the hay bales got in the road.

This is a very tragic accident, especially since it occurred about 50 yards away from this man’s home.  I want to extend my sympathies to this man’s family.

His family may have an insurance claim depending on the type of coverage Archie Welch had.  They may also have a claim against the person responsible for leaving the bales of hay in the middle of the road.  Since that person created a risk of danger, it is very likely that a court of law would conclude that person had an affirmative duty to either clear the danger or at least warn of it.

A Hillsdale County motorcycle accident has resulted in the death of an Adrian man.  Rodney Glenn Ford was pronounced dead at the scene of an accident which occurred when his motorcycle ran off North Adams Road east of Milnes Road in Adams Township.  No other vehicles were involved.  It seems that Rodney Ford lost control of his motorcycle when it hit a driveway embarkment.

This is very sad and my sympathies go out to this man’s family.

Most motorcycle insurance policies would cover an accident like this one.  Life insurance and other policies may also exist to help support the family at this time.  A lawyer could assist them in submitting their claims.

A St. Clair County Motorcycle accident has left a pair of motorcyclists in the hospital.  Todd Ekstrom and Lynn Ekstrom of North Branch were traveling in a motorcycle on Capac Road in Mussey Township when they were hit by a car turning left onto Foley Road.  Both motorcyclists were hospitalized but are listed in fair condition.

This is very unfortunate and although I am sorry an accident occurred at all, it is good to hear that these two were not hurt as badly as in many of the accidents I have handled over the years.

Michigan No Fault insurance is available to both Todd and Linda Ekstrom in this accident because a car was involved.  They should submit a No Fault claim quickly to get it processed so the insurance company will begin paying their medical bills and for any wages they lose as a result of this accident.  They can consult with a lawyer to learn the exact benefits available to them through their No Fault insurance.

A Marquette County motorcycle accident in Skandia has resulted in serious injuries for a Nagaunee Township man.  Michael Ryan was driving his motorcycle on U.S. 41 when he collided with a pickup truck.  Patricia Johnson, 73, of Skandia, was crossing the highway when the accident occurred.  Michael Ryan was transported to Marquette General with a head injury.  Sonya Ryan, a passenger in the motorcycle, was also treated for minor injuries and released.  Patricia Johnson sought her own treatment for minor injuries.

This is very tragic and I am sad to have read this accident occurred.  I hope everyone involved is able to have a full recovery.

Because this accident involved a pickup truck, the Michigan No Fault Act applies.  This law makes available No Fault insurance benefits to everyone injured in the accident regardless of fault.  No Fault insurance benefits will cover all medical expenses, lost wages for three years, and other benefits.  If extended rehabilitation or supervised attendant care is required, Michigan No Fault benefits will cover that expense as well.  In addition, a driver who was free of fault and severely injured may have a claim against a negligent driver.  Whether such a claim exists is usually a complicated question that depends on the nature of the injured driver’s injuries and the circumstances of the accident.  The best way to determine if such a claim exists would be to consult with an experienced Michigan motorcycle accident attorney.
