Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Chicago, IL

Motorcycle Accident Overview

Motorcyclists can be the most vulnerable drivers on the road. Motorcycles offer none of the protection of a car or truck, so riders can suffer more severe injuries if there is an accident. And often, when the drivers of other vehicles are negligent in those accidents, motorcyclists might be legally entitled to compensation.

If you or a loved one has been in a motorcycle accident, Cogan & McNabola, P.C., a personal injury law firm located in Chicago, Illinois, can skillfully and effectively represent you. One of our attorneys will meet with you to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the accident and to begin to build your case.

Recovering Damages in Illinois

Illinois is a modified comparative negligence state. This means you can't recover damages if you are found 51 percent or more at fault. And if you are 50 percent or less at fault, your damages are reduced by the percentage you are at fault. Because of this law, insurance companies may try to shift as much blame as possible onto motorcyclists.

At Cogan & McNabola, we work with accident investigators to measure skid marks, interview eyewitnesses, analyze motorcycle crash debris, and review other evidence to build your case and hold a negligent car or truck driver financially liable for a motorcycle crash. We also are skilled negotiators and accomplished trail lawyers with an excellent track record spanning more than 25 years.
