Traverse City Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
From the Old Mission Peninsula to M-22's Tunnel of Trees, Northern Michigan draws riders — and insurance companies treat them unfairly. We push back.
Fighting the Bias Riders Face — As a Team
Insurance adjusters often assume a rider was speeding or reckless before they've seen a shred of evidence.
Overcoming that bias takes more than one attorney arguing on your behalf — it takes accident reconstruction, witness statements, and physical evidence assembled by people who know exactly what a motorcycle claim needs to succeed.
That's the team you get: decades of combined experience built specifically around pushing back on assumptions and getting riders the compensation they're actually owed.

Riders Deserve a Fair Fight
Northern Michigan's scenic routes — M-22 along the coast, the Old Mission Peninsula, and the backroads around Torch Lake — draw riders all summer long. They also mean higher exposure when a distracted driver fails to see a motorcycle at an intersection or while changing lanes.
Insurance companies routinely try to shift blame onto riders, assuming juries and adjusters alike carry an unconscious bias against motorcyclists. We push back on that bias with the evidence: witness statements, crash reconstruction, and a clear picture of what actually happened.
Whether or not you were wearing a helmet, you have rights under Michigan law, and we fight to make sure those rights are respected.

Motorcycle Accident FAQ
What Traverse City riders ask us most.
Does Michigan require motorcycle helmets?
Michigan requires helmets for riders under 21, and for riders 21 and older who don't carry at least $20,000 in first-party medical benefits and haven't held a motorcycle endorsement for at least two years. Even if you weren't required to wear one, not wearing a helmet can affect certain aspects of your claim.
What if I wasn't wearing a helmet when the crash happened?
You can still have a valid claim. Michigan's comparative fault rules may come into play, but a missing helmet doesn't eliminate your right to recover damages caused by another driver's negligence.
Why do insurance companies treat motorcycle claims differently?
Adjusters often assume riders were speeding or driving recklessly, even without evidence. We counter these assumptions with accident reconstruction, witness statements, and physical evidence.
What are common causes of motorcycle accidents in Northern Michigan?
Left-turn crashes at intersections, drivers failing to check blind spots before lane changes, seasonal tourist traffic unfamiliar with local roads, and gravel or debris on rural roads are all common factors.
