What no-fault benefits can be paid to the family of a loved one killed in a motorcycle accident?
In a Michigan motorcycle wrongful death case, no-fault benefits are paid when the victim leaves behind “dependents.” Usually dependents are children, or a spouse that are financially being taken care of. Often times they include other people like a stepchild or parent. The no-fault benefits that could be paid would include wage loss and household chores or services. The other no-fault benefits are paid provided there is no exclusion (like the driver and owner of the motorcycle feel they have insurance on his bike). This would include the payment of any medical bills for a medical treatment the motorcyclist may have received before he or she died.
