Motorcycle Accidents
In 2006, nearly 5,000 deaths occurred in motorcycle accidents – many of them avoidable situations. The predominant cause of multi-vehicle accidents involving a motorcycle is due to the failure of the person driving the car or SUV to see the motorcyclist in traffic. In cases such as these, the motorcyclist has less than two seconds to take action to avoid the collision. Not a lot of time.
In addition, the likelihood of the cyclist sustaining injuries is very high – in 98% of multi-vehicle wrecks involving a motorcycle, the driver is injured. For single vehicle wrecks, the cyclist in 96% of the cases is also injured. And as we see from the statistic above, many of those injuries result in fatalities.
If you drive a motorcycle and have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, please contact the Michigan motorcycle accident attorneys at Jay Trucks & Associates. We are experienced in all aspects of motorcycle accidents and injuries and we want to fight for your rights. We offer free consultations and if there’s no recovery for you, there’s no fee for us.

Defective Seatbelts
Every morning when we get in our cars to go to work or maybe just to Starbucks for a favorite coffee drink, we do so with the expectation that our vehicle, including our seatbelts, is functional and safe. We make assumptions that the car’s design and materials have gone through many layers of testing to ensure that the product is as safe as it can be for our families and ourselves.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that there were 2.9 million injuries in 2002 due to seat belt defects, malfunctions or poor design. The defects can include:
Seat belts are inherently designed to minimize injury during an accident by preventing the body from moving too much inside the vehicle or being thrown from the vehicle after impact.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an automobile accident due to seat belt failure in Flint, Saginaw or anywhere in Michigan, please contact the Michigan personal injury attorneys at Jay Trucks & Associates for help. We offer free consultations and you don’t pay a dime unless we recover a settlement for you.

- Door-mounted seatbelt systems and other automatic systems
- Unlatching and false latching of the seatbelt
- Inadequate seat belt geometry
- Failure of the seatbelt's retractor
- Torn or ripped webbing
- Vehicle system failure
