Motorcycle accidents are a major cause of injury and wrongful death. If you are injured in one, you may be entitled to compensation from the negligent driver for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Do You Have Serious Motorcycle Injuries?
Motorcycle collisions are more dangerous than the average motor vehicle accident. Motorcycle/auto accidents usually result in comparatively more severe injuries.
Not only are your medical bills likely to be higher, but your physical pain will also be greater with motorcycle wrecks.
Broken Bones
The force from a motorcycle crash can cause significant damage to personal vehicles and can result in broken bones to occupants.
Back and Neck Injury
A collision involving a motorcycle can result in a sudden impact on the biker. Injuries, such as herniated discs are common.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) from motorcycle accidents can leave a person with life-long damages requiring future medical treatment and lost income.
Joint Injury
Injuries to hips, knees, and shoulders are common and may require medical care such as orthopedic surgery to help the individual recover fully.
Wrongful Death
Sadly, many people lose their lives in motorcycle accidents. In these situations, the family of the deceased can recover funds to provide for the loss of emotional and financial support.
Passenger Injury
As the passenger involved in a motorcycle accident, you may have a claim against the driver of the truck and other motorists. In most jurisdictions, a passenger can recover compensation from both parties to get full compensation.

What to Expect When Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim
Pursuing your personal injury claim can be daunting. When you hire an experienced motorcycle accident attorney from Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, you can act confidently, knowing that you have someone on your side to give your case the best chance to recover compensation from the other driver.
You can expect your personal injury claim to go through the following process:
- Free consultation: A motorcycle accident injury attorney will meet with you to discuss your accident and any settlement you may have already been offered.
- Presentation of damage package: Your motorcycle accident lawyer will investigate your motorcycle accident case to determine the extent of your injuries and how the other driver's negligence resulted in a motorcycle/car accident.
Our insurance correspondence includes documentation related to the cost of past and future medical bills, medical records, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Using this information, we will present a demand package to the defendant's insurance company.
- Settlement offer: Your attorney will assess the settlement offer based on the demand package and advise you on the way forward.
- Personal injury lawsuit: If your Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer deems the insurance company's offer is insufficient or unfair regarding your accident injuries, we will file a lawsuit against other drivers and undertake the necessary procedures to see you to a fair settlement or to see the motorcycle accident case presented to a judge or jury.
While the above is a general overview of the motorcycle/car accident claims process, each case with unique insurance coverage usually takes on a life of its own.
