Causes of Bicycle and Vehicle Accidents in Illinois
Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles can happen for a variety of reasons, often leading to serious injuries due to the lack of physical protection for riders. Common factors in crashes include driver negligence, failure to yield, distracted driving, and speeding. Drivers who are not alert to cyclists in intersections, crosswalks, or bike lanes increase the risk of collisions.
Other contributing causes may include improper lane changes, turning without signaling, and limited visibility due to weather, darkness, or parked vehicles. Cyclists can also be affected by road hazards such as potholes, debris, and slippery conditions, which may contribute to accidents when combined with nearby traffic.
Even seemingly minor collisions can result in head injuries, fractures, or soft tissue damage. Recovery often involves medical treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work or regular activities. In Illinois, victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage.
