Motorcycle Accidents in Illinois

Every liability claim after a motorcycle accident involves negligence. Every claim for negligence consists of four essential elements: a duty, a breach of that duty, an injury caused by the breach, and the plaintiff's damages. Motor vehicle drivers owe a duty of care to all others who use public roads. That includes bicyclists, people walking, and other drivers, including motorcyclists.

If a driver does not oblige to the duty owed by being negligent, intoxicated, exhausted or distracted and ends up causing an accident which may cause injury or death to another person, the driver will be held responsible. With the support from our Chicago motorcycle accident attorney, he or she may file a negligence claim.
