Just read where there were 4 motorcycle crashes in 6 days in the neighboring towns of Romeoville and Bollingbrook. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured motorcycle riders.

However, don't let theses motorcycle accidents go without teaching a lesson. Three of the four crashes seem to have occurred because the driver of the van or car didn't see the motorcycle. To all of the drivers out there, especially during these warm months, please be aware: Motorcycles are Everywhere. Remember, See the Bike, Save the Life!

Everywhere I turn, I hear and see these motorcycle insurance companies selling minimum insurance coverage and telling people to save money, stay legal for less, save time and money shopping online for insurance, etc. When you're on a tight budget, it may seem like a good idea to save money by carrying a basic policy on your motorcycle, but as a motorcylce personal injury lawyer who has handled hundreds of motorcycle injury cases all around Chicagoland and Indiana, I can tell you it's not enough to carrye the state minumum insurance coverage.

Just wanted to say we are proud to partner with Indiana Bike Week!

Don't Text.
See the bike and save the life!

And for all you riders out there...

Ride responsible.
Take a rider education course if you haven't and if you have, take a refresher.
Keep your bike under control;
And always assume the other guy doesn't see you because he probably doesn't.
