I read a story about a tragic South Haven motorcycle accident that caused serious injuries to a motorcycle passenger.  The Sherrif’s Department reported that Ariel Anderson of Kalamazoo suffered serious internal injuries after leaving the South Haven fireworks display the other night.  The driver of her motorcycle apparently tried to pass other cars and collided with a driver who was turning into a private driveway.

I hope that Ms. Anderson has a speedy and successful recovery.

Under Michigan law, Ms. Anderson has several possible legal remedies for her injuries.  This will be helpful because she will most likely incur significant medical expenses and may be disabled from employment.  Because she was a passenger on the bike and had contact with another motor vehicle, she is entitled to Michigan No-Fault Insurance benefits which pay for medical expenses, lost wages, household services, and other expenses.

She may also be able to file a claim for her personal injuries against anyone who was negligent in causing her injuries.  This would include the driver of the motorcycle and even if they are friends, this should not interfere with the claim.  Typically, the bikers insurance company would pay a settlement for this type of accident.
