Motorcycle Accidents: Causes and Consequences

Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous vehicle accidents. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, over 5,000 motorcyclists were killed in crashes in the United States in 2020. The number of motorcycle fatalities in 2020 was 8 percent higher than in 2019. Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of death for people aged 20 to 24. Compared to passenger vehicles, motorcycles do not have the same protections for the rider, such as a frame or airbags. A motorcycle rider is also vulnerable to being thrown from the vehicle in a crash. As a result, motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries or death. Injuries from motorcycle accidents can include road rash, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and internal injuries. These injuries can require extensive medical treatment, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and assistive devices. Victims may face long-term disabilities, impacting their ability to work and enjoy life.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be caused by driver negligence, such as failing to see a motorcyclist when changing lanes or turning. Speeding or reckless driving. Drunk or distracted driving. Poor road conditions, like potholes or uneven surfaces. Mechanical failures in the motorcycle. Our Morris motorcycle accident lawyers and Joliet motorcycle accident attorneys investigate to hold negligent parties accountable, whether drivers, manufacturers, or government entities.

Bicycle Accidents: Causes and Consequences

Bicycle accidents can be catastrophic, as cyclists have little protection against vehicles. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, over 846 bicyclists were killed in crashes with motor vehicles in 2020, a 5% increase from 2019. Bicycle accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities due to the lack of protective barriers. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries/concussions, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding, and road rash. Treatment may involve emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term therapy, leading to high medical costs and lost wages.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents are frequently caused by driver inattention or failure to yield to cyclists. Speeding or reckless vehicle operation. Dooring (car doors opening into bike lanes). Poor infrastructure, like lack of bike lanes or potholes. Impaired or distracted driving. Our Morris bicycle accident lawyers and Joliet bicycle accident attorneys help victims seek compensation from negligent drivers or responsible parties.

Real estate law can be very confusing and, as real estate clients, the firm helped us draft up legal documents in no time at all. JC and Team got back to us quickly and made it a seamless operation.

JC Lawson was referred to us by our RE agent for our closing. It was a long wait, back and forth process due to it being an estate sale. On top of that, the appraisal came back lower than our offer. But JC and Nikki was very patient and helpful in working through the process and reduced our purchase price 20%! Great team to work with, I highly recommend them!
