It’s January in Michigan. The roads are icy, snow-covered, slushy, and visibility can change in an instant. It’s no surprise that winter weather is a contributing factor in a lot of auto accidents this time of year. However, while poor weather conditions may play a role in a crash, they do not  automatically excuse a driver from responsibility. Many drivers assume that if snow or ice caused the accident, no one can be held at fault. In reality, Michigan drivers are expected

However, when accidents happen involving these vehicles, determining liability and securing fair compensation becomes significantly more complicated than a typical auto accident claim .

Sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, and outdoor stairways can quickly become hazardous when snow and ice accumulate. I think it’s safe to assume that every Michigander has experienced a winter-related slip and fall at

Unfortunately, that assumption is often wrong. Despite Michigan’s mandatory insurance laws, uninsured drivers are a significant problem on our roads . When you are hit by a driver who does not have auto insurance,

Motorcycle riding offers an unmatched experience on Michigan roads. From cruising down M-22, to the lake front stretches of open road, to the winding byways of the Upper Peninsula, there’s nothing like it. But with that experience comes quite a bit of risk. Motorcyclists are far more exposed than drivers in cars or trucks, and when accidents occur, injuries are often serious or life-changing.
