Motorcycle Accident Cases in Illinois

Motorcyclists are at great risk for severe injury when they are involved in a crash. In many instances, it is the fault of the other driver for not seeing the motorcycle. This is particularly common with buses and large trucks whose drivers fail to pay attention to the motorcycle as it approaches their blind spot. Drunk driving and distractions such as texting while driving have increased the dangers of car accidents involving motorcyclists on Illinois roadways.

When someone is severely injured in a motorcycle accident, they may be entitled to compensation for the following:

• Property Damage: Repair/replacement of the motorcycle, vehicle, and other property of the party that was injured.
• Medical Expenses: Cuts and bruises, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and other types of severe injuries can incur large medical bills both now and well into the future. Victims deserve compensation for medical costs incurred as a result of the motorcycle accident.
• Lost Wages: If the injuries result in short-term or long-term disability, you may be compensated for time missed from work.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress, and other types of pain and suffering that resulted from the injury.
• Wrongful Death: In the most severe cases, the loved ones of an individual who is killed in a motorcycle crash may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party.
