Los l\u00edmites m\u00ednimos en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/Documents\/legislation\/ilcs\/documents\/062500050K7-203.htm\">Secci\u00f3n 7-203<\/a> son:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25.000 d\u00f3lares por lesi\u00f3n o muerte de una persona<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50.000 d\u00f3lares por lesi\u00f3n o muerte de dos o m\u00e1s personas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$20,000 por da\u00f1os a la propiedad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las p\u00f3lizas de responsabilidad civil de Illinois tambi\u00e9n deben incluir cobertura para automovilistas no asegurados. Estos m\u00ednimos son bajos en comparaci\u00f3n con el costo de una lesi\u00f3n grave en motocicleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los l\u00edmites m\u00e1s altos y la cobertura para conductores sin seguro pueden protegerte si el conductor que te atropella solo tiene la cobertura m\u00ednima. Revisar tu p\u00f3liza antes de la temporada de conducci\u00f3n es una de las formas m\u00e1s simples de protegerte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo una infracci\u00f3n a la ley de tr\u00e1fico puede afectar su reclamaci\u00f3n por lesiones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los aseguradores conocen bien estas reglas. Despu\u00e9s de un accidente, un agente de seguros puede argumentar que un asegurado que pas\u00f3 a otro carril, que no us\u00f3 protecci\u00f3n ocular o que llev\u00f3 a un pasajero sin reposacabezas comparte la culpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illinois aplica la teor\u00eda de la culpa comparativa modificada <a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Documents\/legislation\/ilcs\/documents\/073500050K2-1116.htm\">735 ILCS 5\/2-1116<\/a>. Si se determina que usted es responsable de m\u00e1s del 50% del da\u00f1o, no podr\u00e1 reclamar una indemnizaci\u00f3n. Si su parte del da\u00f1o es del 50% o menos, su indemnizaci\u00f3n se reducir\u00e1 en funci\u00f3n de su porcentaje de responsabilidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conducir sin casco es legal, pero un asegurador a\u00fan puede argumentar que los da\u00f1os en la cabeza ser\u00edan menores con un casco. Una infracci\u00f3n no pone autom\u00e1ticamente fin a una reclamaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por ejemplo, un par de gafas que se hayan perdido raramente tiene algo que ver con un conductor que gira a la izquierda frente a usted. La verdadera pregunta es si la regla quebrada realmente caus\u00f3 o agrav\u00f3 sus lesiones, y a menudo eso depende de la evidencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plazos para presentar una reclamaci\u00f3n por accidente de motocicleta en Illinois<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dos a\u00f1os:<\/strong> La mayor\u00eda de las demandas por lesiones personales se presentan bajo <a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Documents\/legislation\/ilcs\/documents\/073500050k13-202.htm\">735 ILCS 5\/13-202<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Un a\u00f1o:<\/strong> Las demandas judiciales contra una entidad p\u00fablica local, como una ciudad, en virtud de <a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Documents\/legislation\/ilcs\/documents\/074500100K8-101.htm\">745 ILCS 10\/8-101<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El plazo m\u00e1s corto es importante si un veh\u00edculo de la ciudad, una se\u00f1al defectuosa o una carretera mal mantenida jugaron un papel en el accidente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo ayuda la firma Conboy Law a los motociclistas heridos de Illinois<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sabemos lo r\u00e1pido que se pasa la culpa a los conductores tras un accidente.
