In Michigan motorcycle accident cases, the plaintiff must prove they suffered a “serious impairment of body function” to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering. This legal standard, outlined in the Michigan No-Fault Act, requires showing an objectively manifested impairment that affects the plaintiff’s general ability to lead their normal life. Practical implications include securing expert medical testimony and documenting how the injuries impact daily activities. Relevant factors may include the extent of injury, treatment required, and duration of impairment. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm’s skilled motorcycle accident attorneys can navigate these complex requirements, protecting clients’ rights to full compensation after a life-altering motorcycle crash. With their deep knowledge of Michigan laws and commitment to aggressive advocacy, they can build a compelling case demonstrating serious impairment and secure the maximum available damages.
