The motorcycle and scooter accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll have experience in assisting and representing riders and their families with personal injury and wrongful death claims as a result of a motorcycle accident due to another individual or company’s negligence. We support the “Start Seeing Motorcycles” campaign. In 2010, the State of Illinois unfortunately experienced 130 fatal crashes involving motorcycles (statistic also includes scooters, Vespas, motorbikes, mopeds), resulting in the death of131 motorcycle operators and passengers and one non-motorcyclist.

With rising gas costs, motorcycling is not only a popular recreational activity but also a consistent mode of transportation for several Illinois residents. 558,000 motorcyclists are registered vehicles in the State of Illinois.

Unfortunately, with the much smaller size of motorcycles compared to that of motor vehicles, many cars and trucks cannot see a motorcyclist. That is especially problematic when the vision of a truck driver or motor vehicle operator has been obscured, blocked or distracted.

Motorcycle accidents often produce devastating injuries. Motorcyclists in an accident typically experience life long injuries due to the nature of the accident. Many victims of a motorcycle accident suffer physical pain, mental suffering, chronic disability, disfigurement, head trauma, brain injuries, paralysis and even death. This does not include any of the economic losses suffered by the motorcyclist. The motorcycle attorneys at the Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll know how to present your case to maximize monetary compensation for your injuries. Jeff Kroll resolved a lawsuit arising out of a serious motorcycle accident, which took the life of a DuPage County sheriff. The motorcycle accident case settled for $1.1Million.

Our Chicago motorcycle accident attorneys are presently working on a number of serious motorcycle accident matters and actively pursuing justice for those who were wrongly injured. Some of the motorcycle accident cases we are pursuing include assisting a Naperville man was seriously injured when the driver of a vehicle lost control, drove in the opposite lane of traffic and collided with the motorcyclist who was patiently waiting at a red light on his stopped Harley Davidson. A Tinley Park woman was involved in a serious accident in Joliet while she was riding on the back of a Harley Davidson. She fractured her elbow, femur and tibia and required placement of a rod in her leg. In a matter involving a St. Charles resident, who nearly needed his leg amputated, due to the multiple ankle fractures, our personal injury attorneys are pursuing the operator of the vehicle who struck him.
