Motorcycle Accidents
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that approximately 4,837 persons died in motorcycle accidents in 2007. This is the most motorcycle deaths ever in a one-year time period. This fact and the reality that Chicago’s population continues to grow each year, is contributing to more road congestion and an increased number of car, truck and motorcycle crashes where occupants suffer severe injuries. Since motorcyclists are virtually unprotected on the road, there is nothing to defend the rider from physical impact. Motorcyclists can be thrown off their bikes and onto roads, guardrails and other vehicles, as well as into oncoming traffic. Injuries in a motorcycle accident can range from minor scratches and bruises to burns, broken bones, internal injuries, severed limbs and even death.
We Will Fight For Your Rights
The Chicago personal injury lawyers at Shea Law Group have handled many cases on behalf of hundreds of clients throughout Chicago who have been injured in motorcycle accidents. We have fought the insurance companies to get fair compensation for our clients and can refer you to the proper medical professionals who can give you the care and treatment that you need. We are not pressured by insurance carriers’ tactics and as a result, will demand maximum recovery for our clients. Our goal is always to obtain the maximum recovery for the pain, suffering, lost wages, medical bills and disfigurement our clients have suffered.
We have found that persuading insurance companies to pay a fair amount for a motorcycle or ATV injury means we must conduct a thorough investigation, preserve all evidence that can be used to help our case and retain the best experts for each unique case.
