MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT TRIAL ATTORNEYS — THE ELITE FORCE FOR INJURED RIDERS
When a careless driver injures a motorcyclist, we don’t argue; we dismantle their excuses
and make them pay.
Motorcyclists ride with skill, awareness, and courage — but none of that matters when a
distracted or reckless driver fails to look, fails to yield, or fails to respect a rider’s right to the
road. And when a crash happens, riders suffer injuries that drivers walk away from without a
scratch.
At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm, we don’t tolerate bias against motorcyclists. We confront it. We crush it. And we replace it with hard evidence and aggressive litigation that forces insurance companies to take your injuries seriously
We represent injured riders across Hamtramck, Detroit, and the entire Southeast Michigan region, and we take pride in being the law firm insurers fear when a motorcycle case comes across their desk
Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Demand Maximum Firepower
Motorcycle crashes are different from car crashes. The injuries are more severe, the physics are
harsher, and the insurance companies are far more hostile.
Insurers love to blame riders, even when the driver:
- Turned left directly into a motorcycle
- Pulled out without looking
- Failed to yield
- Texted through an intersection
- Made a blind-spot lane change
- Followed too closely
- Drove recklessly or drunk
We know every tactic insurers use to minimize motorcycle claims, and we shut them down aggressively. We also understand the unique insurance rules that apply to motorcycles in Michigan and how to coordinate No-Fault benefits, BI claims, UM/UIM coverage, and health insurance to maximize your recovery.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes — And How We Prove Fault
Negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or mechanical failures are the leading causes of
motorcycle accidents. We pursue claims involving:
- Left-turn crashes
- Blind-spot and unsafe lane changes
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Drivers failing to see or acknowledge riders
- Hazardous pavement or road defects
- Speeding or tailgating
- Defective brakes, tires, or motorcycle components
Our investigation is immediate and forceful. We secure:
- Dashcam and traffic camera footage
- Helmet camera footage (if available)
- Police reports
- Witness statements
- Event data recorder information
- Accident reconstruction analysis
The Devastating Injuries Riders Face — And We Fight to Compensate
Motorcyclists take the full impact of every collision. We represent riders suffering:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Paralysis and severe spinal cord injuries
- Compound fractures and shattered limbs
- Road rash, burns, and deep lacerations
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Amputations
- Permanent disfigurement
- Psychological trauma and post-crash anxiety
These injuries change lives — physically, emotionally, financially.
Our job is to make the insurance company feel the full weight of that impact.
Common Crash Causes We Litigate
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- All medical bills (present and future)
- Rehabilitation, surgeries, and long-term therapy
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Motorcycle repair or replacement
- Loss of consortium and companionship
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
If a motor vehicle was involved in the crash, you may also qualify for Michigan No-Fault
benefits, regardless of fault — and we ensure you get every dollar owed.
We do not allow insurers to downplay your injuries simply because you were on a bike.
They tried that argument with other riders.
Not with our clients.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
If you were involved in a crash:
- Call 911 and get medical attention immediately.
- Document the scene photos, videos, skid marks, and vehicle damage.
- Do NOT speak with any insurance adjuster.
- Preserve your gear: helmet, jacket, clothing as evidence.
- Contact Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm right away.
Act fast. Tire marks fade. Witnesses vanish. Video gets deleted.
We move quickly to secure evidence before it’s gone.
