Working with Ed and Amber has been a true pleasure. They handled my claim efficiently and professionally, ensuring the process moved smoothly from start to finish. Their responsiveness, expertise, and effectiveness in working with the insurance carrier contributed greatly to a successful resolution. I sincerely appreciate their efforts, dedication, and guidance throughout the matter, and I am grateful for the outstanding service they provided.

Ed and Maggie have both been a pleasure to work with! They keep you up to date on your case, clearly explain the process and next steps along the way, respond quickly to any questions and always offer different options to discuss details (email, phone, text, Zoom, etc.).
What I appreciate more than anything, is their genuine compassion and concern for you as a person. They both demonstrate true empathy for what is most likely one of the most unexpected and traumatic events in a person’s life and do everything they can to ensure justice is served.
I highly recommend Collins Law!

I became aware of Collins Law Group after I was involved in a motorcycle, several years ago. Since that time I have reached out to Ed Manzke, at Collins Law Group, for assistance in a couple of other areas. In each instance, I have found Ed and his team to be very helpful with great communication, keeping me informed every step along the way.
Everyone who I have interacted with, at Collins Law Group, demonstrated that they are interested in building relationships so that you know who you can turn to for any of your legal needs.

Collins Law was recommended to me after I was involved in an accident with a semi-truck. Amber Blevins was exceptional to work with. She is a total pro at what she does and made the process as easy as she could for me. Ed ensured I received the best outcome possible and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who might be shopping around for an attorney!

I want to take a moment to recognize John at Collins Law for the incredible work he did in helping my mom secure her settlement. It wasn’t a quick or easy process—it took time, patience, and persistence—but John stayed committed every step of the way.
What stood out most was his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for getting the best possible outcome. He kept us informed, navigated the complexities with confidence, and ultimately delivered results that truly made a difference for our family.
If you’re looking for someone who will put in the work, stand by you through a long process, and follow through, I highly recommend John and the team at Collins Law.

We are fortunate to have had the chance to work with John Risvold as he represented my brother in his case. Professional, personable and authentic in his manner, John kept us informed throughout the long process, and was always available to respond to my many questions. Having never been involved with a law suit, I really appreciated John's patience (especially since I am 1,000 miles away) and his genuine care for my brother's well being. We are forever grateful, John. Thank you.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ed Manzke and Amber Blevins. They are truly the best of the best. The efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process of my case has been unmatched. What I really want to point out, though, is the empathy and compassion both Amber and Ed hold. That was the true difference maker. I knew they both prioritized my well-being and made that their number one priority. They represented me to their highest capabilities through every step of my case, and I cannot thank them and Collins Law Firm enough.

Motorcycle Riding in a Group? Follow these Rules to Stay Safe
Group motorcycle riding is a popular activity among riders, as it allows for camaraderie, shared experiences, and the opportunity to explore new places together. However, riding in a group requires different rules than solo riding to ensure safety and enjoyment for all. Here are our Naperville motorcycle accident attorneys’ top tips for group riding.
Plan and Communicate: Decide on the route, destination, and duration of the ride in advance, and communicate it to all members of the group. Make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the ride details, including rest breaks, fueling stops, and any other essential information. Stay on main highways, check traffic and weather conditions, and try your best to stick to the plan.
Follow Group Riding Etiquette: Always follow the rules of the road, including speed limits and traffic signals. Avoid sudden lane changes, abrupt braking, or aggressive maneuvers that can startle or endanger other riders. Use hand signals or communication devices to alert the group of any direction or road conditions changes.
Maintain a Safe Distance: Maintaining a safe distance from the rider in front is crucial in group motorcycle riding. It provides an adequate buffer for reaction time in case of sudden stops or hazards. Follow the "two-second rule" by keeping at least two seconds of distance from the rider in front. Increase the gap in adverse weather conditions or at higher speeds.
Be Mindful of Group Dynamics: Every group has its own dynamics, and it's important to be mindful of them during group motorcycle riding. Keep an eye on the rider behind you and make sure they are keeping up. If you notice a rider falling behind, slow down or pull over to regroup.
Use Proper Communication: Communication is key in group motorcycle riding. Use hand signals, motorcycle intercom systems, or other communication devices to relay important information to the group. Signal for turns, lane changes, and stops in advance, and make sure the riders behind you can see and understand your signals. Establish clear communication protocols before the ride and ensure everyone is familiar with them.
Be Prepared: Carry a first-aid kit, tool kit, and any necessary spare parts. Make sure your cell phones are charged enough to call for help if needed. Bring enough water, snacks, and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected from the elements.
Avoid Riding at Night: Riding at night is potentially risky. Even with your lights on, you are much more likely to be struck by motorists who cannot see well in the dark. Plan your trip to ride by day and rest at night.
Have a Buddy System: Implementing a buddy system in group motorcycle riding can add an extra layer of safety. Assign a riding buddy, preferably someone with similar riding skills, to look out for each other throughout the ride. Make sure your buddy is always in sight, and check on each other regularly, especially during stops or changes in direction.
Stay Focused and Alert: Group motorcycle riding requires heightened focus and alertness. Avoid distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting music while riding. Stay vigilant of the road ahead.
We hope these tips make your future rides safe and fun.
Even if you follow these safety precautions, however, it is impossible to control the driving behavior of the motorists around you. So, an accident may be unavoidable. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident by another driver who failed to see you or take precautions near you, please call our Naperville motorcycle accident attorneys. We will aggressively pursue all compensation available to you. Call us at (630) 527-1595 or fill out our contact form for a confidential, FREE CONSULTATION today.
