Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Bensenville, Illinois

Lawyers in Elk Grove Village and Elmhurst for Injured Motorcycle Riders

For many residents of Northern Illinois, riding on the open road on a motorcycle is an ultimate expression of individual freedom. Motorcycles carry a certain appeal to both women and men of all ages and from all walks of life. Unfortunately, some motorcycle riders are not particularly careful when they ride, weaving around moving traffic and pulling stunts at dangerous speeds. Because of this, there tends to be serious prejudice and biases against riders in general, and when an accident happens, the finger of blame is often pointed at the rider, even though he or she may have been riding safely.

At Kaiser Law, our skilled personal injury attorneys have been serving injured victims in Cook County and DuPage County for over 30 years, including many who were hurt while riding their motorcycles. We understand the challenges involved in motorcycle accident cases, and we have the experience, resources, and knowledge to get results. If you have been injured in a crash involving a motorcycle, we are prepared to help you get the compensation you need to start putting your life back together.

Dedicated Cook County Injury Attorneys

A motorcycle crash can alter the course of the rest of your life in a matter of mere moments. The difference in size and weight between the average car or truck and a motorcycle can have devastating and tragic results when an accident happens. In addition, the lack of physical protection around the motorcycle rider contributes to the potential for injury and death as well. According to federal statistics, motorcyclists are at nearly 30 times higher risk of death and five times higher risk of injury per mile driven when compared to drivers and passengers in cars and large trucks.

The knowledgeable attorneys at Kaiser Law realize that motorcycle accidents happen for a wide variety of reasons. For example, we understand that a motorcycle is often hard for other drivers to see because of the motorcycle's size and relatively small visual profile, but there is no excuse for negligent driving. When another driver fails to see a motorcycle approaching, it is almost always the rider who suffers the consequences. Our lawyers firmly believe that careless drivers should be held fully accountable, and our team is ready to help you do just that.

Protecting the Rights of Victims in Niles and Park Ridge

At our law firm, our attorneys have more than 100 years of combined experience in the practice of personal injury law. We recognize the importance of investigating the situation carefully, looking at both the accident itself and the details surrounding it. Our team will review police reports, insurance claims, witness statements, and any other evidence that might help us determine exactly what happened and which party or parties caused the crash. We will also sit down with you to discuss the extent of your injuries and to understand how they have affected your life.

Once we have put all of the necessary information together, we will go to work in developing a strategy for handling your case. We realize that most motorcycle crash claims are resolved through negotiations and settlement from the at-fault party's insurance company, but the path to financial recovery is rarely an easy one. Insurance carriers often try to reduce payouts by shifting a portion (or more) of the blame for the crash to you. The insurer could also attempt to challenge the severity of your injuries in an effort to limit its financial liability.

Fortunately, you do not need to deal with the insurance company alone. At our firm, we are familiar with the tactics that insurers often use, and we know how to counter them. We will not be tricked or bullied into accepting a settlement that does not meet both your short- and long-term needs. If negotiations fail to produce an acceptable resolution, our attorneys are equipped to take your case all the way to trial, if necessary, to get you the compensation you need.
