We Handle Every Type Of Motorcycle Accident Claim
Get Answers, Not Insurance Company Runaround

Motorcyclists face unique risks on Chicago roads. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, injured in a lane-change collision, or suffered catastrophic injuries, we help you understand your rights, evaluate your options, and pursue maximum compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries because riders have less protection than vehicle occupants. We investigate the crash, gather evidence, identify liable parties, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term recovery needs.

Left-Turn & Failure-To-Yield Accidents

Many motorcycle crashes occur when drivers fail to see riders while turning left or entering intersections. We work to establish fault and hold negligent drivers responsible for the injuries they cause.

Distracted & Reckless Driving Collisions

Texting, speeding, aggressive driving, and impaired driving are common causes of motorcycle crashes. We investigate driver behavior, preserve evidence, and build strong cases for injured riders.

Serious Injury & Catastrophic Motorcycle Claims

Motorcycle accidents frequently result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, road rash, and permanent disabilities. We pursue compensation that reflects both current and future damages.

Insurance Claims & Settlement Negotiations

Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto motorcyclists. We challenge unfair assumptions, negotiate aggressively, and fight for settlements that accurately reflect the full value of your injuries.

Motorcycle Accident Questions, Answered

Answers to help injured riders understand compensation, liability, insurance claims, and what happens after a motorcycle accident in Chicago.

Do I Need A Chicago Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

If you've suffered injuries, required medical treatment, missed work, or are dealing with an insurance company, speaking with an attorney can help protect your rights. Insurance companies often dispute motorcycle claims more aggressively than other vehicle accidents.

What If The Driver Says They Didn't See Me?

Drivers have a legal responsibility to watch for motorcycles and share the road safely. Failure to see a rider does not automatically excuse negligent behavior. We investigate the evidence to determine liability.

What Compensation Can I Recover After A Motorcycle Crash?

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent impairment, and property damage.

Will My Motorcycle Accident Case Go To Court?

Most motorcycle injury claims settle through negotiations. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, litigation may be necessary to pursue full compensation.

How Much Is My Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

Every claim is different. Compensation may include medical bills, lost income, future treatment, pain and suffering, disability, rehabilitation costs, and loss of future earning capacity.

How Long Do I Have To File A Motorcycle Accident Claim In Illinois?

Illinois law imposes deadlines on personal injury claims. Missing important deadlines can affect your ability to recover compensation, making it important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?

Illinois follows comparative fault rules. Depending on the circumstances, you may still be able to recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Motorcycle Accident Attorney?

Most motorcycle accident cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means attorney fees are only paid if compensation is successfully recovered.

"First time using Zeidman & Carpenter for a real estate closing and it won't be the last! Lee and Corrie were great communicators during this super quick 7 day closing requested by the buyer. Lee had to navigate finding a surveyor who could get the property surveyed quickly which he did before I was able to utilize my contacts in this area at a very reasonable price. They were fantastic to work with and am looking forward to the next real estate transaction."
