A Motorcycle Accident
Can Change Your Life
When motorcycle riders are in a car accident, they’re at risk of sustaining life-changing or catastrophic injuries. Compared to car drivers and passengers in crashes, motorcyclists and motorcycle riders have minimal protection if they’re in a collision.
Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained during the motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist or rider could pass away. The other drivers involved in the motorcycle crash could be liable for causing fatal injuries.
If you or a loved one have been in a Chicago motorcycle accident, our attorneys can file a personal injury claim on your behalf. We can also assist with filing a wrongful death claim if an auto collision caused the loss of a loved one. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or fatal injury lawsuit in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. Do not delay.
Our Chicago Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Deliver Results
No matter the details of your crash, our Chicago motorcycle accident attorneys can advance your case and help you recover damages. You can seek financial compensation in these scenarios:
Insurance Claim
Your insurance company may try to deny your motorcycle accident claim on the grounds that you’re a reckless driver or caused the accident. Riders frequently have to deal with unfair views from police and insurance companies as motorcycles can be considered dangerous. Our motorcycle accident attorneys can take action against your insurance company and get compensation to address your accident.
Personal Injury
Injuries from a motorcycle accident can cause financial hardships. Paying for expensive medical bills while being too injured to work can cause undue financial strain. In addition, your motorcycle can be heavily damaged and possibly totaled. On top of all this, being in an accident can cause emotional pain and suffering. Let our lawyers pursue compensation for these damages in your motorcycle accident case.
Wrongful Death
Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents have a high risk of being fatal since motorcycles lack many of the standard safety features found in cars, pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs. We know a wrongful death lawsuit won’t bring back your loved one, but it can help cover funeral expenses, lost wages, and the emotional suffering of the surviving family. Legal compensation can help you focus on grieving rather than stressing about finances.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
see a doctor
You should see a doctor even if you believe you’re fine after your motorcycle crash. Some crash injuries might not be immediately apparent. By attending medical appointments, your health is checked out by a professional and medical records can be used to support your case.
gather information
After any kind of auto accident, you should obtain insurance information and contact info from the other driver. Photos and recordings of any property damage should be backed up in case your phone stops working.
Do Not admit guilt
After the accident, the driver’s insurance company or attorney may contact you. Do not admit guilt or speak to anyone representing the other driver. Instead, contact our Chicago law firm and let us handle interactions with other attorneys and insurance companies.
