For Motorcycle Riders, there is nothing quite like driving down the highway on a beautiful day with not a cloud in sight.

We can ensure you get all of your medical needs provided for, and receive the financial compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Motorcycle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common reasons for motorcycle wrecks are:

  • Distracted Drivers
  • Motorcycle Defects
  • Drivers Not Checking Blindspots
  • Dangerous Road Conditions
  • Speeding
  • Inexperienced Drivers
  • Driving Under the Influence

  • Road Rash
  • Facial Fractures
  • Disfigurement
  • Broken Bones & Fractures
  • Shoulder Injuries
  • Herniated Discs

What To Do After You’ve Been in a Motorcycle Accident

Similar to a passenger car accident, you should take steps to protect your rights after an accident involving a commercial vehicle. If you find yourself in a truck accident, make sure to follow these steps:

  • Stay At the Scene of the Accident. By leaving the scene you would be committing a crime in Illinois.
  • Make Sure Everyone Is Ok. Ensure everyone who was involved in the accident is alright, or if they are in need of medical attention.
  • Call 911. Contact the police so they can investigate the accident, and write a report. This must be done if there is property damage, injury, or death.
  • Exchange Information With The Other Driver. Make sure to get the name of the other driver, driver’s license information, phone number, license plate, and insurance information. Also, get the information for the Trucking Company.
  • Call Your Insurance Company. Contact your own insurance company and explain what happened.
  • Seek Medical Attention. Go to the ER to make sure you are indeed fine. Do not try to tough it out, as some serious injuries may be delayed.
  • Take Photographs. At the scene of the accident, take pictures of the damage, skid marks on the road, and even photographs of any injuries sustained.
  • Journal. As soon as possible, write down your exact recollection of what happened. Write down the names of any potential witnesses. Keep track of how you are feeling after the accident and keep records of any medical treatment after. Also make sure you note how any injuries are affecting your life.

Time Is of The Essence in Motorcycle Accident Cases

If you or a loved one have been injured in a Motorcycle Accident, it’s important to know that in Illinois, generally, you have two (2) years from the time of the accident to file a lawsuit. If you don’t settle the case within that time or if you don’t file a lawsuit by the two-year mark, you will be barred from any recovery. This may seem like plenty of time, but there is much to be done, and that time flies by. You should contact a Motorcycle Accident Attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Motorcycle Crash Victims Deserve Fair Compensation

Whenever someone has been hurt in a Motorcycle Accident, the Insurance companies will fight hard to limit what victims recover, or even blatantly deny they are at fault. They only care about limiting how much they will have to pay.

That’s where we come in. Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers fight these companies to ensure that our clients get the maximum recovery possible. We treat each of our injury clients like family, and we go to war to protect our family. Some types of damages and compensation we help victims and their families get are:

  • Medical Expenses 
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Mental Distress and Anguish
  • Disfigurement
  • Diminished Earning Capacity
  • Loss of Normal Life
  • Future Medical Expenses
  • Wrongful Death

No two cases are alike. Reach out to our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers today for a free case evaluation and let them calculate the potential value of your case.
