Michigan State University, busy commuter routes like I-96 and US-127, and harsh Mid-Michigan weather make crashes all too common. If you or someone you love has been injured, a Lansing Motorcycle Accident Lawyer at Sinas Dramis is ready to fight for your recovery.
Motorcycle Dangers in Lansing
Motorcycle accidents here are often severe because riders have little protection compared to drivers in cars or trucks. In Lansing, high-risk zones include:
- Downtown and MSU campus with heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
- Frandor area and East Michigan Ave. where congestion and tight intersections increase crash risks.
- High-speed corridors like I-496, I-96, and US-127.
- Winter and road conditions create hazards for two-wheeled vehicles.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle crashes often lead to catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (with or without helmets).
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis.
- Fractures and broken bones.
- Severe road rash, burns, or amputations.
These injuries often require months – or years – of recovery, with enormous medical costs and lost income.

I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident and was recommended The Sinas Dramis firm from a friend. Steve Sinas was very knowledgeable about where I stood after the accident, and what routes to pursue given the circumstances. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and made sure I knew what was going on at all points of the process. By having Steve on my case, I feel like a large amount of stress was removed during a time where I needed to focus on physically recovering from my accident. I appreciate the things Steve and the Sinas Dramis firm were able to do for me, and I would not hesitate to call them again for legal services in the future.

My husband was permanently injured in a motorcycle crash in the summer of 2014. Steve represented us and helped us win against the insurance company that felt his injuries weren’t substantial. We tried multiple times to reach a fair settlement with the insurance company but they were unwilling to see his case for what it really was and the impact it has had on our family and his quality of life. After multiple meetings with the insurance company that were dead ends we went ahead and moved to a jury trial. The outcome of the trial was life changing for us. Steve is confident without arrogance, empathetic and absolutely brilliant in the courtroom. We have Steve and the firm to thank for encouraging us, standing by us and helping us navigate a very intimidating process. If we could give a million star rating we would.

My husband and 2 friends were hit by a car while on their motorcycles. They were very fortunate when they were referred to Bryan at Sinas Dramis. Bryan and his staff were very patient and kind and explained the entire litigation process as it moved along. They were always available for questions and assistance, never once acting like it was an inconvenience. Because there were three individuals – all with different insurance companies and all with various types of injuries, this, I’m sure, was a difficult case to navigate through. But here we are, almost at the finish line and never once did we question our choice of attorney/firm. We cannot thank you enough for your diligence in getting the case in order and having our best interest at heart.

Losing my husband of 20+ years in a motorcycle accident was the most tragic event of my life. With the world-wind of emotions, planning and family I had no idea what direction to turn. George Sinas was referred to me as a lawyer that will work beside me to make those difficult legal decisions that were best for me and my family. He was very supportive of my situation and worked with me throughout the entire process, even taking time to explain every step in detail so I thoroughly understood. George’s knowledge of law and his drive to ‘Make A Difference’ was the most reassuring feeling. I knew he was representing not only me but the legacy of our family.

Get medical care right away, document the crash scene with photos, collect witness details, and request a police report from Lansing PD or the Ingham County Sheriff. Then, contact a Lansing Motorcycle Accident Lawyer to protect your rights.
Does Michigan’s no-fault law cover motorcycles?
Not directly. But if your accident involved a car or truck, no-fault benefits may apply for medical costs, wage loss, and household help.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle claim?
You generally have three years from the crash date to file a lawsuit. No-fault claims must be filed within one year of denial or expense.

Depending on your case, compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.

How do I get my crash report in Lansing?
Motorcycle crash reports can be requested online through the Lansing Police Department or Ingham County Sheriff’s Office for a small fee.
Michigan’s No-Fault Law & Lansing Motorcycle Cases
Michigan law treats motorcycles differently than cars. Motorcycles are not classified as “motor vehicles.” However, if a crash involves a car or truck, riders may qualify for no-fault PIP benefits. These can include:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages.
- Household replacement services.
When another driver is at fault, you may also pursue a third-party lawsuit for pain and suffering and economic damage not covered by PIP.
