Attorney Helps Injured Motorcyclists Recover Settlements
During the pandemic, the nation’s roadways have become more dangerous. Even with less vehicle traffic, accidents and fatalities have increased due to excessive speeding and reckless driving habits. While motorcycles have the same rights and privileges as any other vehicle on the road, they are also the most vulnerable vehicle on the road. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, motorcycle fatalities account for 12.1% of all fatal accidents statewide.
When other motorists fail to share the road safely with motorcyclists, serious accidents occur with the motorcyclist bearing the brunt of the injuries. Over the past few months, Attorney Zach Pancoast helped two central Illinois motorcyclists recover compensation for serious injuries each sustained in separate accidents.
-
- In the first claim, Zach helped a Mattoon, Illinois resident secure a settlement of $293,500 for injuries he received when a loose dog caused his motorcycle to veer off the road and crash.
- In the second claim, Zach helped a Shelby County, Illinois resident recover a settlement of $173,182.63 for injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash.
