Why Cronauer Law

The motorcycle attorneys who fight the rider bias.

$600,000 settlement check presented to a Cronauer Law client who was struck while riding a motorcycle

Adjusters and juries often assume the rider was speeding or weaving. We come in with the facts (reconstruction, witnesses, and physical evidence) and put the blame where it belongs.

  • We fight the anti-rider bias.

    Insurers love to blame the motorcyclist. We pre-empt it with evidence that proves the driver, not you, caused the crash.

  • We document devastating injuries.

    Motorcycle crashes cause road rash, broken bones, and brain injuries. We prove the full medical picture and what your recovery really costs.

  • Trial-ready, every case.

    Carriers pay more when they know your lawyer will try the case. Our verdicts back it up.

  • Zero risk to you.

    Free consultation. No upfront cost. Our fee comes from the recovery, only if we win.

What Clients Say

People we’ve helped.

What You Can Recover

Damages aren’t just medical bills.

Most injury victims underestimate what they’re owed, and adjusters count on that. We document, calculate, and demand every category of damages. The first offer is almost never the real number.

Injured person overwhelmed by piling medical bills

Medical bills

Past, present, and future medical expenses: emergency room, surgery, rehab, therapy, prescriptions, assistive devices.

Lost wages & earning capacity

Time off work, reduced hours, and the future income you can no longer earn because of your injuries.

Pain & suffering

Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the impact on your relationships.

Property & out-of-pocket loss

Cost to repair or replace damaged property, plus the everyday expenses your injury forced you to take on.

Future care

Long-term medical care, assistive equipment, in-home help, and modifications to your home or vehicle.

Punitive damages

When the at-fault party acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, extra damages may be awarded.

FAQ

Motorcycle accident questions, answered.

The insurance company says the crash was my fault. Now what?

That's their default move with riders. Illinois uses modified comparative negligence, so as long as you're less than 51% at fault, you can still recover. We gather the evidence that shifts the blame back to the driver who hit you.

Does not wearing a helmet hurt my case?

Illinois has no universal helmet law for adult riders. While the defense may argue your injuries were worse without one, it doesn't bar your claim. We've handled these cases and know how to limit that argument.

What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?

You may still recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Many riders have it without realizing. We'll review every available source of recovery.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

It depends on the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost income, and the evidence. Motorcycle injuries are often severe, which raises the value, but the only honest answer comes after we review the facts.

How long do I have to file in Illinois?

Most Illinois motorcycle injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash, with shorter deadlines for claims against government entities. Don't wait. Call us to confirm your deadline.

How much does it cost to hire Cronauer Law?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you only pay if we win. The initial consultation is always free.

Don’t wait

Don't let them blame the rider.

Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your case gets weaker. The consultation is free. The advice is honest. The fight is ours.
