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.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, a motorcycle accident attorney from our personal injury law firm can help you by:
Investigating the accident and gathering evidence to support your personal injury claim.
Negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
Representing you in court if a settlement cannot be reached in your motorcycle accident case.
A personal injury lawyer assesses the value of a motorcycle accident claim by considering the seriousness of your injuries, the size of your medical bills, the length of your recovery, and the level of pain and suffering and emotional distress you have experienced.
