Chicago Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle accidents happen all too often and result in serious injuries or even death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 5,000 people died in motorcycle wrecks. This number was one of the highest shares of all causes of traffic fatalities.
In many cases, motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the riders. Instead, they are the victims of things such as negligent drivers and inadequate traffic infrastructure. If you or a loved one have been seriously hurt while riding a motorcycle, you could seek damages.
At Driscoll Law Group, our Chicago motorcycle accident lawyers have prepared and presented numerous claims. They have recovered millions of dollars that allowed victims of negligence to pay amassing expenses and move ahead with their lives. Find out what they can offer you by contacting our firm today.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
Being involved in a motorcycle accident is scary. Not to mention, the moments, weeks, and months after can be difficult for victims dealing with the aftermath of a wreck and navigating the injury claim process.
Despite the stress and confusion, taking the following steps can be beneficial:
- Get Medical Attention: Immediately after the accident, see a doctor for treatment. This is an important step to take toward recovery, and it also will provide documentation of the injuries.
- Report the Accident: Call the police after a wreck. Law enforcement will create an official report that can be valuable evidence in a claim.
- Gather Information: If possible, collect the name, phone number, and insurance information of the other person involved in the accident. It can also be beneficial to gather the contact information of anyone who witnessed the incident.
- Document the Accident Scene: Take photos or videos of the accident scene and any road conditions that caused the wreck.
- Keep Records: Maintain an account of all medical bills and other financial losses that resulted from accident injuries.
- Consult a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer: Getting started with an attorney soon after the wreck can be advantageous. A lawyer can offer guidance and counsel. Plus, they can negotiate with insurance companies or bring a case to court if necessary. Driscoll Law Group also has numerous investigators that can go out to the scene and interview any witnesses.
How Our Attorneys Prove Negligence in Motorcycle Accident Cases
The key to personal injury cases, from car accidents to medical malpractice, is proving that a party’s negligence led to an accident that caused a victim’s injuries. In motorcycle wrecks, negligence might look like another driver speeding, failing to signal before changing lanes, or using their cell phone behind the wheel. Pedestrians, construction workers, and others could also be responsible for negligence that caused a crash.
When our Chicago motorcycle accident lawyers take cases, they utilize various methods to demonstrate how a party was negligent. They gather witness statements, secure surveillance footage, analyze police reports, consult crash experts, and employ other resources. Additionally, they bring evidence of the harm the negligence caused, from medical records to accounts of the difficulties crash victims faced.
Every injury case is unique, so our team works closely with clients to develop a personalized legal strategy. Ours is not a firm where the attorneys are unresponsive or too busy to speak with individuals or families about their cases. This approach has yielded success and eased the process of making an injury claim for our clients.
