Motorcycle enthusiasts often talk about how much they value their bikes, both as a mode of transportation and leisure. They are likely aware of the added risk that can come with riding a motorbike since they are not as protected as those who are traveling in more traditional motor vehicles. Motorcycle accidents are an unfortunate consequence of sharing the road with cars and trucks. Authorities point to the recent example here in Michigan of an accident in which they say a semi-truck rear ended a motorcycle, causing the rider’s death.

Michigan car accidents can leave families devastated
When a fatal car crash happens, the families of victims have to face a life without their loved ones by their sides.

Though some car accidents are caused by impaired, distracted or dangerous driving, another common category are accidents caused by negligent driving. A recent accident here in Michigan may have been caused by that very reason and has left one mother mourning the loss of her daughter.
