Why Your Motorcycle Accident Needs a Motorcycle Accident lawyer

Crazy fact –  if you were injured in a motorcycle accident you’re 6 times more likely to require an orthopedic consult than any other driver, of any other vehicle in the city or the state! It’s also highly likely that your injuries will be FAR more complex than what is usually seen in other vehicle accident traumas.
Injuries the eye can’t see can be devastating well into your future years. An orthopedic consult is far more expensive than a non-specialized consult and the goal of insurance is more often than not to save their company, money – not to look after you in the best way possible.

Hidden trauma needs to be diagnosed and treated

Unfortunately, these all too often occurring injuries go unnoticed because of our bodies ability to handle trauma for extended periods of time. Then when these injuries are recognized insurance companies fight that they must have occurred after the accident vs. being determined at a later time than the accident.
Getting the right medical review immediately or as soon as possible after an accident to check for these hidden traumas is really important. It is the first thing we support our motorcycle accident clients to do if it is not already done.
Our Chicago personal injury lawyer will tirelessly fight your insurance to get you the right specialist or expert to consult on your injury so you get the best possible care and opportunity for recovery.

We negotiate with hospitals and doctors to reduce your bills

Part of the services our law firm offers our clients is that we fight tirelessly to reduce your hospital bills, as well as your doctor bills. Far too often injured motorcyclists are charged outrageous medical bills that either go way over your insurance overage or cause you to have to pay huge out-of-pocket expenses. Our team of negotiators will get to work to reduce your bills so that you get to keep more of the settlement you are awarded. We want you back on the road and back on your bike as soon as possible.

Biker Prejudice is Real

We know for a fact that way too many people have a preconceived negative idea about bikers. People judge first and ask questions later. That prejudice follows us into the hospital when talking to doctors when working with the insurance company, when getting the details of the police report you can be damn sure it’s there if your case goes to court.
We know how to deal with that prejudice and make SURE it doesn’t hurt your case. We will fight for you and your rights ALL the way!
