Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Bloomington, Illinois

Motorcycle accidents on Illinois roads can occur due to:

  • Collisions with vehicles making left turns
  • Crashes at intersections
  • Lane splitting incidents (lane splitting is prohibited in Illinois)
  • Dooring accidents
  • Sudden lane changes
  • Road hazards (potholes or debris)

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include aggressive driving, distracted driving, reckless driving, drunk driving, running red lights, and failing to obey other traffic laws.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Bloomington

Motorcyclists face more severe and catastrophic injuries in crashes with larger passenger vehicles due to their smaller size and lack of protection. Common severe injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal damage, emotional trauma (like PTSD), and permanent disabilities. In some cases, these injuries can lead to fatalities.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

After a motorcycle accident, follow these steps:

  1. Get medical attention immediately.
  2. Follow your doctor’s advice and keep medical records.
  3. Stay at the accident scene and follow the police officers’ instructions.
  4. Call 911 and obtain a police report.
  5. Take photos of the scene and damage.
  6. Collect information from other car drivers and witnesses.
  7. Don’t admit fault or apologize.
  8. Seek legal representation for a possible personal injury lawsuit.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Illinois?

What If I Was Partially to Blame for My Motorcycle Crash?

In Illinois, you can only recover damages if other drivers are at least 50% at fault for the accident—and you’re less than 50% at fault. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule; damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.
