“How much is my case worth?” is a question we regularly receive about traffic accidents, including motorcycle accidents, and the answer often depends heavily on the unique circumstances of your case. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to another’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working with the insurance companies on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

A successful personal injury claim generally requires objective proof that the other driver was negligent, and that this negligence directly resulted in the accident and your injuries. While motorcycle accident cases vary greatly, here are the four basic factors which must be proven for a successful claim:

  • The defendant had a “legal duty of care” to act safely and responsibly with respect to the plaintiff;
  • The defendant breached this legal duty of care;
  • The breach of care directly resulted in the plaintiff’s injuries; and
  • The plaintiff suffered legally-recognizable damages, economic and/or non-economic, as a direct result of the defendant’s negligence.

Here are some findings on Illinois motorcycle accident claims based on statistics compiled over a 20-year span:

  • In Illinois, average compensation for motorcycle accident victims is around $500,000;
  • Illinois’s median returns for motorcycle accidents is $25,000 – $40,000;
  • About two-thirds of all plaintiffs receive less than $100,000 and about 12% receive $1 million or more;
  • In Cook County, about 60% of all plaintiffs receive less than $100,000 and about 17% receive $1 million or more.
