Motorcycle Crashes and Injury Risks in Illinois
Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of severe injury in crashes due to their lack of protection compared to drivers in enclosed vehicles. Accidents like the one on Route 83 often result in life-threatening injuries, especially if the rider is thrown from the bike or collides with another vehicle at high speed.
Studies show that common causes of motorcycle crashes include driver inattention, left-turn violations by other vehicles, and road hazards. Unconsciousness following a motorcycle accident can indicate serious trauma, including head injuries, internal damage, or fractures.
Motorcycle accident victims should seek immediate medical care, even if injuries do not appear severe at first. Legal guidance may also be necessary to ensure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
