Catastrophic Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents in Danville often result in devastating injuries. With little physical protection, riders are highly vulnerable when struck by a car or commercial truck. Even when wearing a helmet and protective gear, a motorcyclist involved in a crash on routes like I-74 may suffer life-altering trauma. These injuries are not just painful—they can disrupt every part of a person's life, including their ability to work, care for family, or live independently.

Common injuries in motorcycle accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, amputations, road rash, and internal bleeding. Some riders require emergency surgery and extended hospitalization. Others may face a lifetime of rehabilitation or permanent disability. These cases often demand higher compensation than a typical car accident claim. Our firm represents injured motorcyclists throughout Danville and fights to hold negligent drivers accountable for the full scope of the harm they cause.

Evidence in a Danville Motorcycle Accident Claim

Proving fault in a motorcycle accident case requires strong, clear evidence. Since riders are sometimes unfairly blamed for crashes, it is especially important to gather information that shows how the collision occurred and who was truly at fault. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If the motorcyclist is found to be 50 percent or more responsible, they cannot recover damages. If they are less than 50 percent at fault, their compensation is reduced in proportion to their share of responsibility.

To protect your claim, we work to collect key forms of evidence, including:

• Police reports and crash diagrams
• Photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries
• Video footage from traffic cameras or nearby businesses
• Statements from eyewitnesses
• Helmet and gear analysis
• Debris patterns and skid marks
• Medical records linking injuries to the crash

We may also work with accident reconstruction specialists to strengthen your case, especially if the at-fault driver denies responsibility or the insurance company tries to minimize the payout. Our firm builds every case with the expectation that litigation may be necessary, even if a fair settlement is possible.
