Each year, about 3,000 riders get hurt in Chicago motorcycle accidents. Bikers die 28 times more often than car drivers in crashes. At Conboy Law, our Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer knows what riders face on city streets. We see how crashes cause brain injuries, spine damage, and other bad injuries that change lives forever. Hurt riders face big medical bills and lots of pain.
After a crash, hurt riders often fight with insurance companies. These companies try to blame the rider instead of the negligent drivers who caused the crash. Our personal injury law firm helps many hurt riders with their motorcycle accident claims. We fight for top money for your medical bills, property damage, lost pay, and pain. Whether a car turned left in front of you, a drunk driver hit you, or bad roads caused your crash, we help you get fair pay.
Our lawyers at Conboy Law have won millions for hurt riders across Chicago. We know bikes and the law. Our success shows how much we care about helping hurt riders.
Bike crash cases need lawyers who know what riders face. Insurance companies use biker stereotypes to pay less. We gather proof to hold bad drivers responsible for what they did.
When you’re hurt, with bills piling up and an insurance company pushing a cheap deal, you need help. Don’t let them blame you just for riding. Our Chicago lawyer will stand up for you.
Bike crashes bring special legal problems that need special knowledge. Car crash cases are different – riders face bias and tricky fault issues. Here’s why you need lawyers with bike crash know-how.
Bike lawsuits face problems car cases don’t have. Insurance companies often say their driver “couldn’t see” the bike—even when they clearly cut you off. Our motorcycle accident attorneys know how to fight back. We showed that the motorcycle was clearly visible and that the driver failed to pay attention.
The “helmet defense” is another trick they use. The insurance carrier tries to pay less by saying your injuries would be smaller with a helmet—even when helmets aren’t always required. We work with doctors and crash experts to show your injuries came from their bad driving, not your gear choice.
Insurance companies are unfair to bikers. Claims adjusters assume riders speed or drive crazy without any proof. Our motorcycle accident attorney fights these false claims with facts from police reports, witness statements, and expert reviews.
Juries can be biased, too. We prepare each personal injury lawsuit to show how the crash hurt your life. Our injury attorneys explain fault in simple terms to help overcome jury bias against riders.
Chicago’s busy streets create real dangers for bikers. Distracted driving, drunk drivers, bad lane changes, and road hazards can cause bad injuries or death. Knowing what causes these crashes helps us build your case.
Left-turn accidents are among the deadliest crashes for Chicago riders. These happen when a car turns left without yielding, cutting into a motorcycle’s path. Danger spots include Michigan Avenue, Lake Shore Drive, and busy shopping areas.
These motorcycle collisions happen because car drivers don’t see the bike or judge its speed wrong. Our personal injury attorneys work with accident reconstruction specialists to prove the car driver broke traffic laws. This helps show who should pay for your medical care and other losses.
Chicago’s bike lanes can be danger zones for riders near parked cars. “Dooring” happens when someone opens their car door into your path without looking. Some lanes can be used by motorcycles legally.
Recent cases have won good money for riders hurt in dooring incidents. These crashes throw riders off their bikes, causing road rash, broken bones, and sometimes brain injury. The fault party is usually the person who opens the door without looking first.
Road work on big highways like I-90/I-94 creates serious risks for motorcycle riders. Loose gravel, metal plates, quick lane shifts, and poor warning signs can cause a motorcycle crash that wouldn’t harm cars.
Construction zone accidents often involve multiple liable parties. This includes government entities, work crews, and sometimes other drivers who stop suddenly when confused. We check if proper safety steps were followed to help get you the most money for your injuries.
Motorcycle accident injuries are often worse than car crash injuries. Without a car’s shell, riders take the full hit. These catastrophic injuries need lots of medical care and may cause lasting problems.
Brain injuries are common in motorcycle crashes, even with helmets. While helmets help, they can’t stop all injuries. Even small crashes can cause concussions, while bad crashes may lead to lasting brain damage.
TBI can leave you with memory problems, mood changes, and trouble focusing. These problems hurt your work and daily life. Our personal injury law firm works with medical professionals to show your injuries and plan for future care.
Spinal cord injury is one of the worst results of motorcycle crashes. Based on where your spine is hurt, you might lose use of your legs or all limbs. These injuries change every part of your life.
Care for spinal cord damage often costs millions in medical expenses, including special equipment, home modifications, caregiving support, and ongoing treatments. Our motorcycle accident lawyers fight for money that covers these huge costs, including pay for lost life enjoyment and family consequences.
Motorcycle collisions can break bones in ways car crashes don’t. Bones might break in many places or shatter, sometimes pushing through the skin. These injuries need surgery, metal parts, and a long healing time.
In the worst cases, doctors might need to remove a limb due to bad damage or infection from road rash. You’ll need fake limbs for life, costing tens of thousands. We make sure your insurance claim covers both current medical bills and future medical expenses.
What you do right after a crash affects both your health and your right to get paid. Our motorcycle accident attorneys guide injury victims through these key steps.
Evidence starts to vanish as soon as a crash happens. Skid marks fade, debris gets cleaned up, and road conditions change. If you can, take photos of everything at the crash scene. This includes where vehicles ended up, traffic lights, and weather. Pay special attention to skid marks, as these show how the other driver reacted.
Keep your damaged gear exactly as it is after the crash. Your helmet, clothes, and other safety gear tell a story about what happened. An expert review of this damage can help prove your side when the insurance adjuster questions it.
Insurance companies often call motorcycle accident victims within hours or days. They might ask for recorded statements while you’re still in pain, on medicine, or without legal advice. These statements can hurt your personal injury claims later.
Early quick settlement offers are almost always too low. The insurance company hopes you’ll take fast cash before you know what your claim is worth. Our law firm can check their offer and tell you if it fairly covers your bills, lost income, and pain.
After a crash, you deserve fair pay for all your losses. This includes both money costs and pain damages. Knowing what your claim is worth helps you avoid taking low offers. Our seasoned attorneys work to get you maximum compensation.
Hospital bills after a motorcycle crash can quickly hit six figures. Emergency rides, intensive care, tests, and surgeries all add up. Even with insurance coverage, you often face big co-pays.
Medical costs continue long after the first emergency. Many hurt riders need multiple surgeries to fix broken bones, spine damage, or internal organ damage. Our firm works with doctors to figure out all your future treatment needs for your claim.
Healing from motorcycle crash injuries often means missing work for a long time. For employed riders, we show lost wages through work records and doctor’s notes. If you work for yourself, we use business records to prove your loss.
Severe injuries might cut your earning power forever or keep you from your old job. Our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys work with money experts to figure out these future losses. This makes sure your settlement covers your changed work life.
Beyond money losses, motorcycle accidents cause real pain and mental trauma. Illinois law allows pay for these non-economic damages. For riders, we look at unique life impacts, like not being able to ride again.
Mental trauma after a bad crash can include PTSD, fear of travel, sadness from physical limits, and loss of joy in things you once loved. We document these effects through medical records and stories from family who have seen your struggles. In death cases, we help families file wrongful death lawsuits that include funeral costs and loss of companionship pay.
If you’re hurt in a motorcycle crash, our Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer is ready to help at any time. Our team can visit the crash site, gather proof, and start building your case while you focus on healing.
