Welcome to Pritzker | Ruohonen
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
At Pritzker | Ruohonen we know motorcycles. For over 30 years accident lawyer Fred Pritzker has represented motorcycle riders. In recognition of his accomplishments, he has been named a "Super Lawyer" by Law & Politics magazine and has been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America.
Because defective products can be part of a motorcycle accident, lawyer Fred Pritzker also represents bikers in product liability (defective product) claims against manufacturers of defective motorcycles. One recent case was on behalf of a man whose leg was amputated after a defect in his vehicle caused him to lose control and crash. Fred Pritzker and partner Rich Ruohonen obtained a $3,750,000 settlement. To contact a motorcycle accident lawyer, call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900, e-mail info@pritzkerlaw.com or fill out the online, attorney-consultation form for a free evaluation of your case.
What is My Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?
To determine the value of a motorcycle accident case, your motorcycle accident lawyer will look at many factors. First, your motorcycle accident lawyer will have to consider fault. Any percentage of fault (up to and including 50%) placed on you reduces the value of your case by that percentage. Another factor, and the one that is most important, is the severity of your injuries. Information about the severity of your injuries usually comes from your doctor in a medical report in which he or she comments on your injuries. Doctors usually wait at least a year after the accident to issue a final medical report.
Another important factor is how your injuries affect you. For example, a broken finger to most people is not that severe an injury. If you happen to be a concert pianist, however, a broken finger can be a terrible loss. Thus, it's important that your motorcycle accident lawyer know a lot about you and how your injuries have impacted your life. At Pritzker | Ruohonen we take time to thoroughly interview our motorcycle accident clients. This is particularly important in a motorcycle accident case because there are usually traumatic brain injuries.
Other factors include the amount of your medical bills, the amount of your wage loss, whether you have any scars, what impact your injuries will have on your future earning capacity and a host of other issues.
Every case is different and it depends on the skill and experience of your lawyer to know what is fair compensation for your losses.
Do I Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer to Obtain Fair Compensation?
Most of the time. As you can see, there are a great many factors and issues that need to be assessed in order to obtain a fair recovery. Also, you're going up against a giant insurance company. Companies have scores of adjusters, lawyers and other personnel who spend all of their time dealing with cases just like yours. It's unreasonable to think that you, who have probably never had to deal with something like this, can match experience and resources with a company that does nothing but work on accident claims. There's also the matter of time. Bringing a claim takes a lot of time and energy. Most people hurt in a motorcycle accident are short of both.

If you are represented by a Pritzker | Ruohonen motorcycle accident lawyer, you won't have to pay any money up front. If there's a recovery, the motorcycle accident lawyer gets paid out of that. If there's no recovery, we won't charge you any fees at all. You don't have to pay any hourly charges or lump sums called "retainers." There's also the issue of costs. "Costs" are out of pocket expenses like the amount of money a hospital charges for duplicating your medical records, or the filing fee the courts charge for filing a claim. We pay those costs. We're reimbursed for those costs when the case is settled. Remember: To hire a motorcycle accident attorney at Pritzker | Ruohonen, it won't cost anything "up front."
