Types of Compensation for Injured Riders

After you suffer severe injuries in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim to recover:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage

Common Types of Motorcycle Wrecks in Cicero

Motorcycle accidents occur in a variety of ways:

  • Left-turn accidents often occur when drivers fail to yield or misjudge the speed of an oncoming motorcycle.
  • Rear-end collisions occur due to motorcycles’ smaller size makes them harder to see.
  • Lane splitting, which is illegal in Illinois, involves riding between lanes of stopped or slow traffic.
  • Road hazards like potholes, uneven pavement, and debris can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists.

How Common Are Fatal Motorcycle Accidents?

According to the Insurance Information Institute, motorcyclists are significantly more vulnerable on the road, facing a 29 times higher fatality rate compared to car occupants, according to 2019 data. Additionally, older riders (over 50 years) accounted for 37 percent of all motorcycle deaths in that year.

What Are the Major Causes of Cicero Motorcycle Accidents?

Alcohol consumption and speeding are major contributors to motorcycle accidents. Alcohol impairs rider alertness and response; in addition alcohol-impaired motorcycle riders are less likely to use helmets. Other causes of motorcycle crashes include driver distraction, reckless driving, and poor weather conditions.

Why are Motorcycle Accident Injuries So Serious?

Chicago motorcycle accident victims are often seriously injured because they have little protection compared to occupants of cars or trucks. Motorcycle crashes often lead to serious injuries such as:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injury (SCI)
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Road rash and lacerations

What to Do After a Motorcycle Wreck

  1. Seek immediate medical attention.
  2. Report the accident to the police.
  3. Document the scene and gather witness information.
  4. Contact a Chicago motorcycle accident attorney to explore filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit.

What NOT to Do After a Motorcycle Wreck

Avoid admitting fault or giving detailed statements about motorcycle accident claim to the insurance company without consulting an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Do not neglect medical treatment for your serious injury or fail to document your injuries and the accident scene. Refrain from discussing the accident on social media.

What Happens If I Am Partially to Blame for My Accident?

Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover damages if you are less than 51% to blame for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.

What Is My Motorcycle Crash Case Worth?

Motorcycle accident attorneys determine the value of a case by considering factors such as the severity your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and long-term impacts of the accident.
