Chicago Best Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

In Chicago, each year, there are thousands of motorcycle accidents that result in minor to major injuries. Statistically, in the US, motorcycle accidents account for 14 percent of all traffic fatalities. Dealing with a motorcycle claim can be challenging and exhausting. You shouldn’t need to focus on legalities when you should be focusing on healing. Fortunately, if you seek the assistance of a Chicago lawyer, you will have more time to focus on recuperating.

A lawyer that is well versed in the legalities surrounding accidents can make all the difference in whether your case outcome is successful or not. Chicago’s best motorcycle accident lawyers at The Horwitz Law Group have years of experience handling motorcycle accident cases. We always endeavor to provide our trustworthy clients with the best service possible as we want them to attain the justice and compensation they deserve for the injuries they have sustained.

What Will A Chicago Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Do For You?

With the assistance of a lawyer, your case will have a higher likelihood of achieving a fair settlement, or if your case should go to trial, you will have a better chance of winning. A lawyer can do a few things for you that you might not be able to achieve on your own.

Fight for lost wages: If your motorcycle accident has caused you to lose wages, an attorney can fight for you to receive lost wages for a short period or a long time, depending on your case circumstances. Often a lawyer will try and make your lost wages a part of the settlement amount you will receive.
Consider property damages: When you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, your form of transportation is usually written off. You shouldn’t have to lose the significant amount of money you invested in the motorcycle. That’s why a lawyer can try and recover the total cost of the bike, including any work you had done to it.
Seek out medical damages: Motorcyclists are not as protected during accidents as those who have an accident in a car. This results in motorcycle drivers sustaining more serious injuries than other motor vehicle drivers. When you are trying to recover, you don’t want the burden of trying to gain access to your medical bills and records. A lawyer can, at your behest, request all medical documents such as ambulance reports, hospital charts, pharmacy receipts, and written reports from your doctors.

The Different Types of Motorcycle Accidents

Unfortunately, there are numerous different types of motorcycle accidents in Chicago, but we have managed to narrow the list to a few of the most prevalent kinds of accidents. Below is a brief list of the events that cause accidents that we can help you with.

Unsafe lane changes.
Speeding and reckless driving.
Opened car doors.
Sudden Stops.
Driving under the influence of illegal substances.

Can You Still Recover Compensation If Your Only Partially At Fault For A Motorcycle Accident In Chicago?

Unlike other states, Chicago is a comparative fault state. If you are only found to be partially to blame for your motorcycle accident, you can still recover compensation. However, the amount you receive will be proportionate to the extent to which you were responsible. Furthermore, if you are more than 50 percent at fault for the motorcycle accident, you will be barred from seeking compensation.
