Motorcycle operators and their passengers can sustain injury in a variety of scenarios. For example, injury can occur as a result of the motorcycle going out of control and striking a roadside object. In addition, injury can occur when one motorcycle strikes another. In these situations, the legal rights of motorcycle operators and passengers are generally governed by tort liability law. However, where a motorcycle operator or passenger sustains an injury as a result of an incident involving an automobile, a truck, or other motorized devices legally defined as “motor vehicles,” then the rights of the motorcycle operator and passenger are governed by the Michigan Auto No-Fault Insurance Law (MCL 500.3101, et seq). Michigan is only 1 of 14 states with an auto no-fault insurance system. The rules under such a system are complicated and often confusing. This is particularly so with regard to motorcycle owners and passengers. A detailed discussion regarding the Michigan Auto No-Fault Law is set forth in detail on this website. Therefore, motorcycle operators and passengers who sustain injury in a motor vehicle accident should carefully review this information to gain a better understanding of their legal rights.
