Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are disconcertingly common in Chicago and all across the state of Illinois. Bikers are hurt to no fault of their own every day here, owing in part to the vulnerable nature of their vehicles and the careless disregard displayed by so many other motorists.
Driver negligence is a real concern for bikers, whose vehicles offer almost no protection from the terrible force of an impact.
Indeed, Chicago motorcycle accidents are known to produce horrible, unthinkable injuries. In many cases, the occupants do not survive. Those who do make it through the ordeal may face a lifetime of suffering, hardship, and impairment.
Motorcycle accidents in Chicago are on the rise. Fortunately for motorcycle riders, Chicago has some tough laws in place to protect them. If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident within Chicago, you may be eligible to receive:
All Chicago motorcycle accidents are different. They all have their own facts and circumstances. So, it’s important that you have your case evaluated by Malman Law. We provide free initial consultations to people who are hurt in motorcycle accidents. Call us today to schedule yours.
The first and most important thing to do is to call the police to come out and make a report. Make sure that you get a copy of the report number. The responding officer will also assist you in getting the insurance information of the other driver. Next, you should be checked out by a medical professional even if you feel fine. With the adrenalin flowing from the motorcycle accident, you may not realize that you’re hurt. Also, there are certain injuries that will not show signs.
If you’re able to do so while on the scene of the motorcycle accident, take pictures of the damage to your motorcycle, the other vehicle, and the scene. Also, make sure that you keep any bills, medical records, and other documentation. You may need it if you choose to file a lawsuit.
Next, you should contact Malman Law to learn what you can do to protect your legal rights. The initial consultation is free. Regardless of whether you choose to be represented by our firm or another firm, make sure that you do not sign anything given to you by the insurance company. You could sign away your right to sue. It’s important that you protect your legal rights. You can schedule your free consultation with Malman Law by phone or online.
Before you send your medical records to the insurance company, talk with Malman Law. Sometimes, insurance companies will try to use your medical records against you by stating that you had a pre-existing condition and that they shouldn’t have to pay for it. You do not want to do anything that could damage your chances at recovering monetary damages for your injuries and your losses. Call Malman Law to schedule your free consultation.
Generally, yes. In addition to following the same laws and sharing the road as a driver would with similarly sized vehicles, drivers generally do have a duty to leave extra space when they are behind a motorcycle. Driver negligence is a serious concern and is often the cause of Chicago motorcycle accidents.
This duty to watch for motorcycles and leave extra room is important because it helps stop horrific and often deadly injuries that occur in Chicago motorcycle accidents. Thankfully, the City of Chicago backs motorcyclists and has strict laws on the books about duty toward motorcycle riders, and those laws are routinely enforced.
Motorcycle accidents in Chicago are most often caused by driver negligence. The most common causes include:
If you have questions about your motorcycle accident, call Malman Law and schedule a free initial consultation.
In Chicago, there is a concept called comparative negligence. This means that in motorcycle accidents and other accidents in Chicago, the court will look at both parties to determine just how much fault each party had for causing the accident. If, for instance, you were found to be 30 percent at fault, you could be entitled to recover no more than 70 percent of your damages.
Fortunately, Illinois has a number of tough motorcycle laws on the books, and the city of Chicago is committed to strict enforcement.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Chicago, you may be entitled to considerable monetary reimbursement under the laws of this state. Specifically, your recovery may include:
Working with an experienced and aggressive law firm can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. At Malman Law, we’ve spent the last twenty years protecting the rights of injured Chicagoans, and we would like to do the same for you.
Our firm respects motorcyclists. We believe in their right to share the road, and we are dedicated to holding negligent drivers responsible for endangering the lives of bikers in Illinois. You can count on us.
When it comes time to pay accident victims for their injuries, insurance companies put up a real fight. Proving liability and demonstrating the value of your suffering can be difficult.
Fortunately, our Chicago, Illinois motorcycle accident attorneys have extensive experience in fighting the world’s biggest insurance companies on behalf of injured bikers. We’ve operated in Chicago since 1994 and have handled more than 25,000 cases since then, including numerous motorcycle injury claims.
We understand these cases and we know what it takes to push the insurance companies toward an advantageous settlement. If they refuse to negotiate fairly, we’re also ready and able to hold them accountable in a court of law.
At Malman Law, no one is turned away because they can’t afford a lawsuit. In fact, we proudly offer every single personal injury client our Zero Fee Guarantee. That means you are never asked to pay a penny for our services unless (and until) we achieve an in-court victory or a successful out-of-court settlement in your case. Never let your financial situation stand in the way of justice. Put your trust in a law firm willing to invest its time and talent in you.
There is no case too big and no cast too small. We are passionate about every single client we embrace.
No one deserves to endure the aftermath of a motorcycle accident alone. If you’ve been injured in one of these terrible crashes — even if your injuries were relatively modest — we know that you’ve been through an overwhelming ordeal. We want to help you access the relief to which you are entitled under the law.
Our Chicagoland motorcycle accident lawyers are also extensively experienced in wrongful death litigation. Sadly, motorcycle accidents are among the deadliest traffic incidents in Illinois. If you and your family are in the middle of heartbreak, you can turn to us in your hour of need. We will shoulder all the stress of litigation so that you can focus on your own needs during this difficult time.

2 years ago I was involved in a trucking accident involving a 14-wheeler truck that nearly disabled me for life. Steve fought to make sure that I received the most possible compensation for my injuries. I was about to take the insurance company’s lowball offer, but decided to call Steve first – it was the best decision I’ve made yet
