My wife and were leisurely riding our motorcycle with my brother and sister in-law on their bike. An individual in a car crossed the centerline on a 2 lane country road, and put all four of us in the hospital. My wife got the worst of it. She was flown to the hospital and nearly died. She is now a quad with an amputated leg. Our family contacted Jason and he took care of all our needs, and has been helping us for the past 12 plus years as needed. Jason is an attorney that I would confidently recommend to anyone. A great attorney, and a great person.
Jason is a great attorney but an even better person. He did everything he said he would do from the first phone call to the end of my case. Jason walked me through the entire process and delivered exactly what was expected. He got me a great result but what was even more important is the experience I had with him and his firm. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is injured. He is the best! THANK YOU
Jason is well known across the country as the motorcycle lawyer. Passionate about riding, passionate about standing up for motorcycle riders everywhere. Motorcycle law is unique in that rules and laws that protect other motor vehicle users may not protect a biker. Special considerations should be taken when deciding on insurance, what to do when you crash your motorcycle, etc. I've handled 1000's of motorcycle accident cases and won millions for my injured motorcycle accident clients.
We are adept at handling any motor vehicle accident case resulting in injury or death. My background in motorcycle accidents, and the experiences I've had with those cases, and experience I've had working with insurance companies, has given me a strong ability to make a powerful case on behalf of my automobile accident clients.
Truck accidents, those involving commercial semis crashing or causing accidents that result in serious injuries and/or death, require knowledge and experience. My law firm is well prepared when it comes to mounting cases against trucking companies.
We handle all personal injury cases including bodily injury, brain injury, catastrophic and death cases from car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents. We also handle medical malpractice resulting in injury, birth injury cases such those resulting in birth trauma, cerebral palsy, erbs palsy, shoulder dystocia, and other birth related serious injuries. We have 6 locations and take cases across Michigan. We've won millions in compensation for our clients.
The Law Offices of Jason Waechter specialize in the areas of automobile, motorcycle, and truck injury accidents, insurance law, the Michigan No-Fault Law as well as medical malpractice and brain injury and birth injury law, such as cerebral palsy / erbs palsy. As an attorney, helping those injured in preventable accidents is my passion. Whether it's a dog bite or bicycle accident, when an injury occurs often there are medical bills and physical therapy that may last several weeks, months or in some cases years or a life-time. For more information about these types of cases, visit my dog bite lawyer site or my bicycle accident lawyer site.
I am a member of the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association.

I am an endorsed motorcycle rider, Board Member of Michigan's premier trial lawyer's group, featured speaker at many seminars whose topics include: litgation, motorcycle injury claims, technology for law offices, etc. If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident, you can count on me to help you.

I was injured in a car accident caused by uninsured driver
I was injured in a car accident caused by an uninsured driver. While sitting at a red light, waiting to turn left, the driver wasn't paying any attention and plowed into the rearend of my car. It was a severe accident, totalling my vehicle and leaving me unconscious. When I came-to, I was being attended to by emergency medical providers and the police were there. I had no recollection of what happened. I was confused about what was going on and people were asking me questions that I could answer. Let me tell you, when that happens to you, the anxiety and worry starts immediately. I was in intense pain from my neck and shoulder for many months and my medical bills were adding up. I could not work for quite awhile, but as a self-employed person I had to figure out how to get my work done. Compounding all of this was the fact that the other driver had no insurance. I call Jason Waechter, whom a friend of mine said was the guy to talk to about car accidents and uninsured drivers. I'm glad I did, because my own insurance company was doing everything they could to get out of paying. You would be shocked at the lengths insurance companies will go to in order to stick it to you when you need them. Jason wouldn't let that happen. In Michigan, when you're in a car accident and the other driver doesn't have insurance, you have to go to your own insurance company for compensation. It's how Michigan no-fault works (make sure you are properly covered in case of uninsured motorist accident). My own aut insurance company did not want to pay anything but the absolute minimum they could get away with, forcing us to bring a lawsuit against them. Believe me, you want Jason on your side if you ever have to do a lawsuit against your insurance company. While they made ridiculously low offers, Jason was putting together a real case. He tried to settle with them several times, but they continued to balk. When we went in for our pretrial conference, and he discussed his case with them, the insurance company lawyers all of a sudden changed their minds. Jason held them to the grindstone, he came out with a settlement that was tens of thousands of dollars more than his previous offers of settlement. I was very pleased with his methodical work, his communications, and his ability to reason with the parties involved. I even more pleased that he was able to get me the compensation I needed. Thank you so much, Jason!

Jason won my car accident case. He's one of the best lawyers I've worked with.
I had a car accident where another driver turned left in front of me and I t-boned him hard causing my car to be totalled and a visit to the hospital along with months of follow up physical therapy. Jason had some work to do, but when the insurance company wanted to settle they tried low-balling me. Jason went into a hearing and we got a great settlement. Thank you Jason!
