Motorcycle Accident Compensation | I-55 Crash in Joliet Investigated

Getting Fair Compensation for Your Motorcycle Accident in Plainfield

A devastating incident occurred in Joliet, IL, when a 53-year-old driver from Plainfield collided with the concrete barrier wall next to Interstate 55. The crash occurred at approximately 12:35 p.m., leaving the driver with critical injuries. After being extracted from the GMC 2500 pick-up truck by the Joliet Fire Department, the driver was taken to Ascension St Joseph Medical Center for treatment. This unfortunate event highlights the unexpected nature of motorcycle accidents and the serious injuries or even fatalities they can cause. If you or someone you love has been involved in a motorcycle accident, seeking legal assistance can be vital in securing the compensation you deserve.

Why Hire a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer can be essential to ensure that you receive the support and compensation you deserve. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer:

Legal Support and Guidance

A motorcycle accident lawyer can provide you with the legal support and guidance you need during this difficult time. They can handle the paperwork, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary, which can ease the burden of dealing with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident.

Maximizing Compensation

A motorcycle accident lawyer can help you evaluate the full extent of your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. They can also help you fight to get the compensation you deserve, which is essential for covering the expenses and damages resulting from the accident.

Peace of Mind

Hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer can give you peace of mind during a stressful and challenging time. By entrusting the legal matters to a professional, you can focus on your recovery and personal well-being, knowing that your case is in good hands.

Factors that Can Cause Motorcycle Accidents

Several factors can cause motorcycle accidents, including:

  • Driver error: Failing to check blind spots, speeding, or distracted driving can cause a collision with a motorcycle.
  • Road conditions: Poor road conditions, such as potholes or uneven pavement, can lead to a crash.
  • Weather: Adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or ice, can make it difficult to maintain control of a motorcycle.
  • Defective motorcycle parts: Faulty motorcycle parts, such as brakes, tires, or steering mechanisms, can cause accidents.
  • Other drivers on the road: Reckless driving or failure to yield the right of way can result in a collision with a motorcycle.

Aftermath of Injuries

Motorcycle accidents can have significant physical, emotional, and financial impacts on accident victims. Physical injuries can require extensive medical treatment and may have long-lasting effects on a person's health and well-being. Emotional distress, financial burdens, long-term effects, and a loss of independence can also impact a person's quality of life.

I hired Robert Bodach to defend me in a case in which I was being sued. I think he did a very professional job in representing me. He always kept me informed on the status of my case. He represented me in a deposition and in an arbitration hearing. I was very pleased with his efforts. He was well prepared and I highly recommend him. I would definitely hire him again.
