Riding a motorcycle is an exciting and freeing feeling as one drives along Michigan’s scenic roads, feeling the wind blow. The last thing anyone wants to think about is an accident, but sadly, more than 3,000 motorcycle crashes occur in the state each year, with approximately 170 fatalities.

Suffering a motorcycle accident injury can be catastrophic because bikers do not have the same protective elements other motorists on Michigan’s roadways do. As a result, devastating injuries, permanent disabilities, and fatalities occur.

Our Ann Arbor Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Can Help You With Your Claim

A damaged motorcycle lies on its side on a busy street, with debris scattered nearby. Surrounding vehicles are parked and in motion, indicating a recent accident context.

It can be difficult for injury victims to deal with insurance companies while trying to recover. The attorneys at Matz Injury Law dedicate themselves to assisting Michigan motorcycle accidents and other injury victims. Our process entails:

  • Meeting with you in person or a virtual meeting to discuss your case and explain the legal process
  • Gathering evidence to help build a strong case in your favor, including identifying all the at-fault parties
  • Helping you find the providers you need to make a full recovery
  • Looking for all potential sources of compensation, including your no-fault insurance policy, the other driver’s liability insurance policy, and any other relevant insurance coverage
  • Seeking full compensation for your case, our attorneys will communicate and work with insurance companies, insurance adjusters, healthcare providers, and anyone else involved
  • Resolving your case for the maximum value of your claim, we will be transparent and communicative throughout this process.

“Mr. Steve Matz helped me 12 years earlier when I was struck while riding my motorcycle. He always said after our victorious case was completed, that if I ever needed help, don’t hesitate to call him, that he would help me, well years later, my home insurance didn’t want to pay for all the items that were destroyed by a lightning strike. I didn’t feel that was fair, so I called Steve, and the first words out of his mouth were, “I told you I would always help you”. He helped me without charging me a single cent. He got involved, and the insurance company paid another 5 thousand dollars for items that they had directly told me that they would not pay for. I have so much Respect for Steve as a Lawyer, and as a Human Being. He is a great Soul who Truly believes that he has an obligation to Help People, and that’s what he does. Words cannot express how grateful, and proud I feel to know him. As a Proud American, and a Veteran, I can say I Trust Steve Matz, and I wouldn’t think of hiring anyone else but Steve for legal help, he’s a Man of his Word, and is the definition of a True Friend. Thank you Steve for Always being there to help me and my family.” – Dan.
