A road hazard claim is a type of legal action that motorcyclists in Michigan can pursue if they are involved in an accident caused by a hazardous condition on a road or highway. This could include potholes, debris, or other dangerous defects that the responsible government entity or private party failed to properly maintain or repair. Under Michigan law, specifically the Governmental Tort Liability Act, injured motorcyclists may be able to recover damages from the liable party for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from a motorcycle accident due to a road hazard. It’s crucial for victims to consult with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney like those at The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, who can investigate the incident, gather evidence of the hazardous condition, and navigate the complex legal process to ensure their client receives fair compensation for their injuries and losses.
