Royal Oak Motorcycle Injury Attorneys

Representing Motorcycle Accident Victims Throughout the Detroit Metro Area

Motorcycle accidents leave riders facing a different set of obstacles than most car accident victims, from unfair bias about "reckless riders" to insurance rules that work against them from the start. At Garrison Law, our five-star-rated attorneys have spent over two decades taking on insurance companies throughout Michigan, recovering millions of dollars in settlements while pushing back against the assumptions adjusters often make the moment they hear the word "motorcycle."

We know that a strong motorcycle case takes more than general accident experience. It takes an understanding of how the law treats riders differently, and a strategy built around that reality from day one.

Why Motorcycle Claims Demand a Different Approach

Under Michigan's no-fault law, motorcycles aren't classified as motor vehicles, which means a motorcycle policy doesn't automatically include the personal injury protection benefits that come standard with a car policy. Riders who want coverage must purchase it separately, and if no other vehicle was involved in the crash, PIP benefits may not apply at all, a critical gap that insurance companies rarely explain upfront. Our attorneys walk through each policy involved to determine exactly which benefits apply and in what order, rather than accepting an adjuster's first answer.

Helmet use adds another layer that, in our experience, many riders don't expect. Michigan law allows experienced riders 21 and older to ride without a helmet if they carry sufficient first-party medical coverage, but we often see insurers use the absence of a helmet to argue a rider's own choices caused their injuries. We know how to separate a driver's negligence from a rider's gear, building a case that keeps the focus on who actually caused the crash.
