Bicycle Accidents in Illinois
Bicycle accidents continue to be a major safety issue across Illinois, especially in Chicago, where busy intersections and heavy traffic make riding conditions risky. Each year, hundreds of crashes involving bicycles are reported statewide, often leading to serious or even fatal injuries.
Driver negligence is one of the most common causes of these accidents. Many collisions occur when motorists fail to yield, drive distracted, or make unsafe turns near intersections. Speeding, poor visibility, and failure to check blind spots also contribute to a large number of crashes. Even a brief lapse in attention can have devastating consequences for a cyclist.
The injuries sustained in bicycle accidents are often severe. Cyclists are completely exposed, and a single impact can result in broken bones, internal bleeding, head trauma, or spinal injuries. Recovery can take months and often includes hospital stays, surgeries, and physical therapy. Victims may also face financial struggles from medical bills and lost wages, along with emotional stress as they try to heal.
If a driver’s negligence caused the crash, you may be entitled to compensation. This can include payment for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation costs. However, insurance companies often try to reduce payouts, which makes it crucial to have an experienced lawyer advocating for your rights.
A trusted Chicago bicycle accident lawyer can investigate the crash, gather important evidence, and negotiate with insurers to secure fair compensation.
