5 Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Geneva

Motorcycle accidents occur for various reasons, many of which are preventable. Understanding the causes can help shed light on the negligence that often plays a role.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in the area include the following: 

  1. Distracted Driving: Smartphones, GPS systems, and other in-car distractions cause drivers to overlook motorcyclists.
  2. Blind Spots and Lane Changes: Drivers frequently fail to see motorcycles during lane changes or in their blind spots, leading to serious collisions.
  3. Speeding: Both motorcyclists and drivers who exceed speed limits face reduced reaction times, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
  4. Alcohol Impairment: Sadly, impaired driving continues to contribute to a significant percentage of motorcycle fatalities.
  5. Road Hazards: Potholes, uneven surfaces, and debris on local roads can seriously harm riders.

State statistics highlight these risks. Of the 2,973 motorcycle accidents across Illinois in 2024, driver negligence was a leading cause. Geneva’s winding roads and increasing traffic require extra vigilance from motorcyclists and drivers alike.

Types of Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists lack the physical protection that car occupants have, making injuries from accidents much more severe. 

Common motorcycle injuries include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with helmets, head injuries can be catastrophic in severe crashes.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries often result in partial or total paralysis, dramatically altering a victim’s life.
  • Broken Bones: Fractures in arms, legs, and ribs are frequent due to the rider's lack of external protection.
  • Road Rash: High-speed contact with pavement can result in severe skin abrasions and infections.
  • Internal Injuries: The force of impact often causes damage to internal organs and bleeding.

The 2024 data reported 2,266 injuries statewide in Illinois from motorcycle accidents. Each injury tells a story of pain and hardship, and at Turner Law Group, we are here to help you pursue the support you need to heal and rebuild.

Potential Compensation for Injured Motorcyclists

If you’ve suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical Bills: This includes hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing care costs.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery and future earning capacity if you cannot return to work.
  • Pain and Suffering: You deserve compensation for the physical pain and emotional trauma of the accident.
  • Property Damage: Costs of replacing or repairing your motorcycle and any other damaged personal belongings.

Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim, but Turner Law Group will fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you’re owed.

FAQs

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What qualifies as a personal injury?

    A personal injury generally refers to any bodily injury sustained in an accident, from minor bruises to severe brain trauma. The most common personal injury claims arise from harm sustained from traffic wrecks, slip and fall accidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and medical malpractice.

  • What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Illinois?

    Under state law, the statute of limitations (or deadline) for most personal injury claims in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. However, for claims against governmental agencies, there are special limitation periods that may be as short as a year. You should always consult with an attorney on what particular limitations period might apply to your claim. You should seek legal help immediately, as a delay may be fatal to your claim. Unless you have a special exception, your claim will be thrown out if you attempt to file after the limitations period has passed.


    Because every personal injury claim is different, it is difficult to determine an average settlement. A victim who lost a limb will likely need to receive more in medical expenses than someone who broke an arm, for instance. Although personal injury claims tend to average anywhere between $3000 to $75,000—an extremely broad range—there may be significant economic and noneconomic factors in your individual case that may indicate that your particular claim would be valued at a significantly higher figure at trial in front of a jury. An attorney can help you estimate your unique losses based on the facts of your case. The knowledge of an attorney experienced in jury verdict value is extremely important. You should be entitled to make up for your specific losses at the very least.
     

  • What evidence is needed for a personal injury claim?

    Necessary evidence can vary case by case depending on the specifics of your situation. However, one of the most helpful pieces of evidence is your medical records. If you can prove that you sought medical attention for a serious injury after an accident, you are more likely to receive compensation to cover the expenses associated with said injury. Other helpful evidence includes any photographs of the accident scene, accident reports, witness statements, insurance forms, receipts, and any other physical evidence related to the injury.
