Motorcycle accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data for 2016 shows 5,286 people were killed in motorcycle crashes, which is an average of 14 people per day. Even minor motorcycle accidents can cause severe injuries. When injured in a motorcycle accident, hire an attorney who knows the laws and also rides. Motorcycle accidents can be devastating. It can affect every aspect of your life, from your ability to work to being able to care for your family. With the rising cost of medical care, treating those injuries can also be expensive.
Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm, to the extent possible, is committed to helping people recover the lives they had before they were injured. We help our clients get the medical treatment they need, now and in the future, and make sure they are justly compensated for their financial losses. While we understand the best results for our clients are usually obtained without the necessity of a costly trial, we are not afraid to take on the insurance companies and fight as hard and long as we need to obtain the outcome our clients deserve.
In many motorcycle cases, the wreck is due to a car driver’s failure to pay attention. The insurance company will sometimes try to place the motorcyclist at fault when it was, in fact, the driver of the car who “failed to see” the motorcycle. We fight to prove the true nature of the wreck, helping you get a full financial recovery.
In some cases, Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm will hire an accident reconstructionist to take pictures and measurements of the accident scene and reconstruct how the wreck occurred. This is to help strengthen your claim and recovery against the insurance company. Dr. Brad Bradshaw and his allied Illinois attorneys have experience investigating motorcycle injury wrecks to ensure that you know all your legal rights.
