The Life-Altering Impact of Motorcycle Accidents

No matter what technological advances are made to motorcycles, bikers are always at a higher risk of severe injuries or death in the event of a collision. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that motorcycle riders are 26 times more likely to die and five times more likely to be injured in a collision than those in automobiles.

Due to the minimal protection offered by motorcycles, even accidents that occur at a low speed can have catastrophic consequences.

We have represented clients who have suffered all types of injuries from motorcycle crashes, including:

• Road rash
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Disfigurement
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Facial fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries

The bad news is that the negative consequences of injuries do not end with the pain and discomfort that motorcycle crash victims face. A severe injury also means high medical bills, loss of income, and diminished quality of life due to disability.

Do You Have to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet in Illinois?

Illinois has no law that requires people riding a motorcycle to wear a helmet. Even though you don't legally have to wear a motorcycle helmet when riding in Illinois, it's still a great idea to wear one. Helmets have been proven to help the save lives of riders who get into an accident. A helmet won't prevent all scenarios of injuries or death, but they add an extra layer of protection. This is especially true when wearing a DOT approved helmet that meets or exceeds federal safety regulations.

What You Can Do to Get Compensated

If your accident was caused by a negligent driver, unmarked road hazard, or a defect in your bike, you deserve to be compensated for your damages. By filing a personal injury claim against all responsible parties, you could end up not having to pay a cent of your own money for emergency medical treatment and ongoing rehabilitation costs.

When you work with our experienced legal team, we can make sure that every damage you have suffered as a result of your crash is included in your claim. This includes economic losses, such as hospital bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, scarring, and mental anguish.
