Personal Injury Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcyclists have the same right as everyone else to enjoy the road. All too often, however, motorists fail to look out for motorcycles. When accidents occur, motorcyclists have little protection against the sheer size and weight of larger motor vehicles. As a result, motorcyclists often suffer serious or fatal injuries when involved in an accident.

FAQs About Motorcycle Accidents in Illinois
How long is the recovery from a motorcycle accident?
Recovery time varies widely and depends on the severity of the injuries. Minor injuries like cuts and deep bruises might heal in a few weeks; however, serious injuries, such as fractures or head trauma, could require months or even years of medical treatment and rehabilitation. Every recovery journey is unique.
What challenges do motorcyclists face when seeking compensation?
Motorcyclists often encounter bias from insurance companies and juries, who may unfairly assume the rider was reckless. Proving the other party’s fault can be difficult, and insurance companies might try to offer a settlement that is less than what you deserve. Having solid legal representation is key.
Can I still file a claim if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Yes, you can still file a claim. In Illinois, not wearing a helmet doesn’t prevent you from seeking compensation, but it might affect the amount you receive if your injuries could have been prevented or lessened by wearing one.
Can I file a claim for an accident caused by a road hazard?
Yes. If your accident was caused by poor road conditions like potholes, debris, or unmarked hazards, you may be able to file a claim against the government entity responsible for maintaining the road. These cases can be complex, so it’s a good idea to seek legal advice.
