Chicago Motorcycle Accident Lawyer for Injured Riders
Fighting for Injured Motorcyclists
Motorcyclists are exposed to the worst of a collision-and too often face
bias when making a claim. The Law Offices of Mark P. Loftus represents riders hurt across Chicago, from Lakeview and Wicker Park to the South Side and suburbs like Berwyn and Oak Park. Mark builds clear, fact-driven cases that reflect a rider's perspective.
Common Motorcycle Crash Scenarios
Left-turn impacts at intersections when drivers "don't see" a bike. Lane-change cut-offs on the Kennedy or Dan Ryan. Dooring on neighborhood streets. Dangerous potholes and road debris. We gather eyewitness accounts, traffic camera footage, and scene measurements to show how the other driver's negligence caused the crash.
Serious Injuries & Compensation For Riders
Motorcycle crashes often lead to fractures, road rash, head injuries, and spinal trauma-even when a rider wears protective gear. Illinois does not mandate adult helmets, and lack of a helmet does not bar recovery. We document medical care, lost wages, and the long-term effects on your life to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Overcoming Insurance Bias
Adjusters may stereotype bikers as reckless. Mark counters that with reconstruction evidence, visibility studies, and
expert testimony to demonstrate the driver's duty to look-and failure to do so. The goal is straightforward: hold negligent drivers and their insurers accountable.
Motorcycle Accident FAQ
The driver says they "didn't see" me. Can I win?
Yes. Drivers must watch for all road users. "Didn't see you" usually points to inattention.
Should I talk to insurance first?
Speak with a lawyer before any recorded statement or quick settlement offer.
What if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
You can still pursue damages in Illinois. We focus on the driver's negligence and the real impact of your injuries.
