Biker’s Arm, also known as motorcycle nerve palsy, is a type of nerve injury that can occur in motorcycle accidents in Michigan. It is caused by the violent impact and twisting motion that a rider’s arm may experience during a crash, leading to stretching or compression of the nerves in the upper arm and shoulder area. This condition can result in numbness, weakness, or paralysis in the affected arm or hand, significantly impacting a victim’s daily activities and ability to work. Under Michigan’s no-fault insurance law, victims of motorcycle accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering related to injuries like Biker’s Arm. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, a renowned Michigan personal injury law firm, has extensive experience representing motorcycle accident victims and can help clients navigate the complex legal process to secure fair compensation for their injuries, including nerve damage and long-term rehabilitation costs.
