Motorcycle accident cases have a “statute of limitations,” referring to a time-limit for a victim to file a personal injury claim for the accident. As with accidents involving regular vehicles, the statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents is two (2) years from the date of the accident (735 ILCS 5/13-202).

“The earlier, the better” generally applies to filing your claim after you’ve been injured in an accident due to negligence. It’s important for accident-victims to understand how much time and effort goes into the necessary legal work for their cases, as it involves not only attorneys but may also involve professional accident-investigators and reconstructionist-experts to thoroughly evaluate the circumstances of the accident on your behalf. Our work is extensive and wide-ranging when it comes to establishing your case and ensuring that your compensation can be earned, and the earlier we can begin, the stronger your case will be.

If you’ve been injured in an accident due to another’s negligence, seek a full medical evaluation as soon as possible, contact an experienced personal injury attorney, and be sure to keep all paperwork and documentation related to your medical expenses, lost wages, and the accident itself.
