If you’ve been hit while riding in Chicago — whether on Lake Shore Drive, I-290, or a neighborhood street — your life can change in an instant. You’re dealing with physical pain, sky-high medical bills, a wrecked motorcycle, and calls from insurance adjusters who seem helpful… until they aren’t.
At Fabbrini Law Group, we’ve helped countless motorcycle crash victims across Illinois rebuild their lives. In this blog, we’ll explain exactly how to file a personal injury claim after a motorcycle accident — and why letting an experienced Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer handle it will get you the best outcome.
And remember — you don’t pay us unless we win.
Step 1: Get Medical Care — Your Health Comes First, and We’ll Handle the Paper Trail
Even if you walked away from the crash, don’t skip medical care. Internal injuries, concussions, and soft-tissue damage often appear days later. Delaying treatment can harm your recovery and weaken your claim.
We make sure:
- Every ER visit, MRI, and surgery is properly documented
- Future care is estimated and included in your claim
- Medical records and bills are gathered and organized to strengthen your case
While you heal, we do the legwork — so the insurance company can’t downplay your injuries.
Step 2: Gather Evidence — Or Let Us Send an Investigator for You
Crash scenes are cleaned up fast, and crucial evidence can disappear. Don’t worry — you don’t have to do this alone.
Fabbrini Law Group will:
- Photograph the scene and your damaged motorcycle
- Interview eyewitnesses before memories fade
- Pull police reports, 911 recordings, and surveillance footage
- Analyze helmet damage and riding gear for impact evidence
Our team starts investigating within hours of your call — because in motorcycle cases, facts win cases, and we don’t let the insurance company spin the story.
Step 3: Don’t Talk to the Insurance Company — Let Us Handle It
After a crash, the other driver’s insurer may call and ask for a “recorded statement.” Don’t fall for it. That’s not about helping you — it’s about protecting their bottom line.
Here’s what we do instead:
- Block all insurance communication so you can focus on recovery
- Prepare a rock-solid claim with clear liability and documented damages
- Negotiate directly with adjusters who know they can’t push us around
At Fabbrini Law Group, insurance companies know we’re not afraid to go to court — and that gets our clients better offers.
Step 4: Know What You’re Actually Owed — We’ll Help You Calculate Everything
A totaled bike and a few hospital bills are just the tip of the iceberg. Motorcycle crashes often lead to:
- Long-term physical therapy
- Missed time from work — or job loss
- Permanent mobility issues or scarring
- Chronic pain and PTSD
We work with Illinois medical providers, vocational experts, and life care planners to calculate every dollar you deserve — including pain and suffering, future treatment, and lost earning potential.
Don’t settle for a quick check. With us, you’ll know what your case is really worth.
Step 5: Don’t Let the Clock Run Out — The Sooner You Call, the Better Your Case
Illinois law gives you two years to file a motorcycle accident injury claim — but waiting that long is a mistake. Evidence disappears. Witnesses become harder to find. And insurance companies build a defense while you’re still trying to heal.
The moment you hire us, we:
- Preserve and protect evidence
- Build your case with experts
- Pressure the insurer for full value — or take them to trial
We’ve handled claims involving distracted drivers, left-turn collisions, lane-change accidents, and more — and we know what it takes to win in Chicago courts.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Win. Period.
Hiring a lawyer shouldn’t be another burden — especially after a serious crash. That’s why Fabbrini Law Group works on a contingency basis.
Here’s what that means:
- No upfront costs
- No hourly fees
- We only get paid when you get paid
If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. Zero. That’s our promise — and it ensures that every rider has access to justice, not just those who can afford a retainer.
