Filing a Lawsuit in a No-Fault State
Unlike motorists, motorcycle riders in no-fault states are not covered under the no-fault insurance system, which means they must file a lawsuit to recover compensation for their injuries and other losses. Additionally, in some no-fault states, motorcyclists are not required to meet the serious injury threshold, allowing them to file a lawsuit even if their injuries were only minor.
Common Types Of Motorcycle Accidents
A motorcycle accident can happen in an instant. Sometimes, it can be caused by an inexperienced motorcyclist, especially if they’re dealing with poor road conditions or inclement weather.

Common types of motorcycle crashes include:
- Side-impact accidents
