Motorcycle Accident Representation in Aurora

Motorcycle crashes can raise issues that differ from many passenger-vehicle collisions. Riders have less physical protection than occupants of cars and trucks, and even a relatively brief collision can result in serious injuries.

The Crannell Law Group represents people injured in motorcycle accidents and families who have lost a loved one in a fatal crash. The firm serves clients in Aurora, DuPage County, and throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

Every collision is different. A lawyer can review available information, explain the legal process, and discuss whether a claim may be available.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes can occur for many reasons. The firm’s motorcycle-accident materials identify potential factors that can include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Drunk or drugged driving
• Improper lane changes
• Poor road conditions
• Limited visibility of a motorcycle
• Potential violations of applicable traffic rules

A crash investigation may examine available evidence to understand how the collision occurred and which parties may bear responsibility. Some collisions involve a driver turning across a motorcyclist’s path; learn more about left-turn motorcycle accidents.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

Your health and safety come first. If you have been involved in a motorcycle collision, consider taking these steps when you are able:

• Seek medical attention and follow your medical provider’s advice.
• Contact law enforcement and obtain the crash-report information.
• Take photographs of the vehicles, scene, road conditions, and visible injuries if it is safe to do so.
• Obtain available contact and insurance information.
• Keep records relating to medical care, expenses, missed work, motorcycle damage, and communications about the collision.
• Speak with a lawyer before making a recorded statement or accepting a settlement offer.

The firm offers free consultations and represents personal-injury clients on a contingency-fee basis. Under that arrangement, clients do not pay attorney’s fees unless the firm collects money for their injuries, subject to the terms of the representation agreement.

Investigating a Motorcycle Accident Claim

A motorcycle-accident claim may require a detailed review of available evidence. Depending on the facts, relevant information may include crash reports, photographs, witness accounts, vehicle information, medical records, available video, and other documentation related to the collision.

The Crannell Law Group can evaluate the circumstances of a motorcycle crash and help identify information that may be relevant to a potential claim. The firm’s motorcycle-accident page explains that it investigates collisions and develops claims based on the facts and applicable law.

Whether a claim is available and what evidence may be relevant depend on the individual circumstances.

Possible Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident

A person injured in a motorcycle accident may be able to pursue compensation through a personal-injury claim. Depending on the circumstances, a claim may seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical care, when supported by the evidence
• Lost income or reduced earning capacity
• Motorcycle repair or replacement costs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Other losses available under Illinois law

The value and outcome of a claim depend on the facts, injuries, evidence, insurance coverage, fault issues, and applicable law. No lawyer can guarantee a case result, recovery amount, or timeline.

Motorcycle Accidents and Wrongful Death

A serious motorcycle collision can result in catastrophic or fatal injuries. If a loved one died in a motorcycle crash, surviving family members may have legal questions about their rights and potential claims.
