subject: Michigan Motorcycle Accident Lawyer - How To Find The Best One [print this page] Do you really need a "biker/lawyer" to represent you in your Michigan motorcycle accident case?
You may have seen lawyers at swap meets or online who claim that you should hire them for your Michigan motorcycle accident case because they are "lawyers who ride." Is this really necessary? Of course not.
For example, if you were looking for the best surgeon to operate on your brain, would you insist on having a biker/ surgeon do your surgery? What you really need is the best qualified professional who understands your needs and can provide you the best possible professional service.
When it comes to motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan, you need to choose a lawyer who has extensive knowledge of both the liability laws in Michigan and the No-Fault Insurance laws in Michigan. The Michigan No-Fault laws are complex and can be very confusing. There are several thousand Michigan cases that deal with the intricacies of the no-fault insurance system and new court opinions are published every month. These laws are even more specific and detailed when applied to accidents involving motorcylists in the State of Michigan. In addition to the laws and cases, there are also issues regarding the insurance policy themselves and the type of benefits that are covered under those policies. Lawyers who do not regularly handle Michigan motorcycle accident cases may not be familiar with the intracacies of these laws and insurance provisions.
It is important to hire an experienced Michigan motorcycle lawyer immediately after an accident to best protect the rights of the injured biker. An injured biker should be equipped with the questions to ask before making the important decision of selecting a lawyer.
An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer should be able to answer these questions to your satisfaction:
1.What experience do you have handling serious motorcycle accident injury claims?
2.Have you ever written a book, like this one, on motorcycle accidents and insurance claims?
3.Have you ever spoken to groups of other lawyers and professionals about accident cases and insurance laws?
4.Do you have a website and specialty motorcycle accident blog site with information on the rights of bikers injured in Michigan motorcycle accidents?
5.What type of results have you obtained for bikers and passengers injured in a Michigan motorcycle accident?
Make sure that you are satisfied with the answers to these questions. The lawyer that you choose for your case is often the difference between receiving a fair settlement or no settlement. Choosing the wrong lawyer without asking these and other questions can destroy your case and leave you without compensation.
