Motorcycles are a popular transportation choice in the Metro East area and throughout southern Illinois. Commuting by motorcycle and riding recreationally are common pursuits for people across the cultural spectrum, offering economic benefits as well as a unique brand of enjoyment.
Unfortunately for both riders and passengers, the risk of serious injury or death if an accident occurs is much greater on a motorcycle than in a car. All too often, other drivers fail to keep lookout for motorcycles, check blind spots and generally stay alert to all kinds of traffic. For motorcyclists, such negligence leads to head injuries, spinal injuries, bone fractures, lacerations, scarring and a vast range of other painful consequences.
Our personal injury and wrongful death practice is led by Eric J. Carlson, a widely respected 30-year attorney who maintains his Illinois motorcycle license and has a strong understanding of risks to riders and the total impact of serious, complex injuries.
