Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Serving Chicago & Beyond
When Riders Need Real Legal Advocacy
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable on Chicago’s roads—often suffering serious injuries in crashes that weren’t their fault. Riders and their families face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and insurance companies eager to blame the biker rather than look at the facts. Our team at Thomas Law stands up for motorcyclists, ensuring the truth—not stereotypes—shapes your case and your recovery. We’re here to make sure you are respected, heard, and fully compensated for your injuries.
Fighting for Chicago’s Injured Riders
Severe Injuries and Lasting Impacts
Motorcycle crashes often cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, or severe road rash. We work with top medical experts to document every effect on your life.
Bias Against Motorcyclists
Insurers and juries sometimes assume riders are reckless. We counter these biases with strong evidence and expert testimony, showing the truth about safe and responsible riders.
Common Crash Scenarios
Many accidents happen when car drivers fail to see motorcycles at intersections, during left turns, or when merging on expressways. We investigate every detail to prove who was really at fault.
Evidence That Matters
Helmet use (Illinois doesn’t require helmets), skid marks, traffic camera footage, and even road conditions can play a big role in proving your case. Our attorneys secure and analyze all relevant evidence.
Insurance Challenges and Damages
Motorcycle injuries often result in high medical costs and insurers looking to minimize payouts. We fight for compensation for your care, pain, suffering, lost income, and long-term recovery.

Common Questions About Motorcycle Accident Cases
What should I do if I’m in a motorcycle accident in Chicago?
Get medical care immediately, report the crash, document the scene, and contact a lawyer before talking to insurers. Early action protects your rights and your health.
How are motorcycle accident claims handled differently than car accidents?
Motorcycle claims often involve more severe injuries, unique evidence, and bias against riders. An experienced lawyer addresses these issues to maximize your compensation.
Is it worth getting a lawyer for a motorcycle accident injury in Illinois?
Absolutely. Insurers may offer low settlements or dispute fault. A skilled attorney helps secure fair compensation for all your losses.
