Main Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Chicago

Several factors contribute to motorcycle accidents, including:

Unsafe Lane Changes

Motorcycles are often smaller and less visible than other vehicles, making them vulnerable to collisions when larger vehicles change lanes without proper signaling or checking blind spots.

Speeding

Excessive speed reduces the time available to react to hazards and increases the severity of collisions.

Distracted Driving

Both motorcyclists and other drivers can be distracted by activities such as texting, talking on the phone, adjusting the radio, or interacting with passengers, leading to inattention and potential accidents.

Lane Splitting

Riding between lanes of slow or stopped traffic, known as lane splitting, is legal in some places but can be dangerous if other drivers are not expecting it or if there isn't enough space.

Alcohol and Drug Use

Impaired driving significantly impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents for motorcyclists and other drivers.

Road Hazards

Uneven road surfaces, potholes, gravel, debris, and other hazards pose a greater threat to motorcyclists than to larger vehicles, as they can lead to loss of control or accidents.

Driver Negligence

Motorists who fail to yield the right of way, run red lights or stop signs, or make sudden turns without signaling can cause collisions with motorcyclists who have the right of way.

Defective Motorcycle Parts

Accidents can also result from defective motorcycle parts or equipment, such as faulty brakes, tires, or steering mechanisms.

Damages You Can Recover with the Help of an Experienced Chicago Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

In a motorcycle accident case, you may be able to recover various types of damages, depending on the circumstances of the accident and the extent of your injuries. Possible damages include:

Medical Expenses

This includes costs associated with hospitalization, surgeries, doctor's visits, medication, rehabilitation, and any other necessary medical treatments.

Lost Wages

If you are unable to work due to your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for the income you would have earned during the time you were unable to work.

Property Damage

This covers the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle and any other property damaged in the accident.

Pain & Suffering

This includes physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish resulting from the accident and your injuries.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

If your injuries have diminished your ability to participate in activities and hobbies you enjoyed before the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life.

Loss of Consortium

If your injuries have affected your relationship with your spouse or partner, they may be able to recover damages for the loss of companionship, affection, and support.

Permanent Disability or Disfigurement

If the accident has left you permanently disabled or disfigured, you may be entitled to compensation for the impact this has on your quality of life and your ability to earn a living.
