Motorcycle Collisions in Illinois
The statistics show that collisions involving cars and motorcycles are extremely common. Motorcyclists face a unique set of risks each time they hit the road. For those reasons, riders are over-represented in roadway fatalities.
1.1 of reported collisions in Illinois in 2017 involved a motorcycle. However, motorcycles were involved in nearly 15.4 percent of fatal crashes that same year. Injured riders should consult with a qualified Illinois motorcycle crash attorney to pursue lost compensation for their injuries.
