Have you or someone you love been injured in a motorcycle accident? If so, it’s important to seek legal representation from an experienced Des Plaines motorcycle accident lawyer in our personal injury law firm, The Kryder Law Group, LLC Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Types of Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Cases


Personal injury claims may recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses such as hospital bills, medication costs, rehabilitation expenses, and future medical care needs.
  • Lost wages due to missed work during recovery.
  • Pain and suffering endured from the accident and injuries.
  • Fatal motorcycle accidents may call for wrongful death settlements.

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

Illinois uses a modified comparative negligence system to determine how responsibility for an accident is shared among parties. This law, 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, states that an injured party can only recover damages if they are less than 50% at fault for the accident.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle accidents often lead to serious injuries or death due to the lack of protection and smaller size of motorcycles, which make them less visible and more vulnerable compared to other vehicles on the road.
