Yorkville Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Aggressive Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Representing Yorkville Riders
Motorcycles are more than convenient modes of transportation; for many, biking is a way of life. Although riders may wear helmets and protective clothing, they are extremely vulnerable. Motorcycle accidents frequently cause severe injuries, and they can also claim lives.
Motorcycle crash victims may be eligible to receive compensation if another motorist's negligence caused the accident. Surviving family members of motorcyclists who died in collisions may also qualify to file wrongful death actions. Unfortunately, many people are biased against bikers, and that prejudice may carry over into personal injury claims. Getting a fair settlement can be challenging unless you have a skilled lawyer from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney advocating for your rights and best interests. Call us now for your free consultation. We will discuss your accident, explain your legal options, and tell you how we can help.
Causes of Montgomery Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycles have narrow profiles, which can make them hard for motorists to identify, particularly when visibility is limited. A bike's tires are narrow, which reduces traction on slippery surfaces. Motorcycle collisions frequently occur due to:
- Distracted driving
- Failing to check blind spots
- Improper merging or lane changes
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Driving under the influence of fatigue, drugs, or alcohol
- Aggressive or reckless driving
- Potholes, cracked pavement, and roadway debris
Negligent behaviors by other motorists are common causes of motorcycle accidents. Negligence, which is loosely defined as irresponsible behavior, is the building block for most personal injury claims. Like car accidents, there may be multiple contributing factors in motorcycle crashes. Until you discover how and why your collision happened, you will not know who is responsible. Even if you share some of the fault, you may still qualify for a settlement. In these cases, the amount you can receive may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies often try to accuse victims of more than their share of the blame because this could reduce payouts or eliminate their requirement to pay a settlement. It is best to work with an effective attorney from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney who will investigate your accident, gather evidence, establish fault and liability, and ensure that insurers do not sabotage your claim.
Oswego Motorcycle Collision Injuries
Motorcycle accident victims experience multiple impacts. The initial collision may bring a vehicle into direct contact with the rider's body, often causing extensive injuries. The impact may then throw the rider from their bike or push them into oncoming traffic, resulting in additional injuries. Because riders have minimal protection, their injuries are usually severe or catastrophic, and they may include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Amputations
- Burns and road rash
- Multiple broken bones
- Organ damage
- Head, neck, back, hip, arm, and leg injuries
The rider's entire body may suffer various injuries. Many of these conditions can permanently alter a person's life. Depression, significant pain and suffering, PTSD, and permanent disability often accompany physical wounds.
Accidents, injuries, and the impact they can have on your life are unique to your specific situation. Multiple factors will determine whether you can collect a settlement and how much you might receive. At Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney, we can perform an investigation and estimate your case's value. Depending on the extent of your injuries and how they have affected you, compensation may address losses that include:
- Permanent disability
- Pain and suffering
- Current and future medical expenses and lost income
- Property damage
- Costs related to handicap-accessible transportation and home renovations
- Caregivers and replacement services
- Losing the ability to enjoy life
