Chicago Bike Laws

Lawmakers in the State of Illinois and City of Chicago recognize the vulnerability of bicyclists who share roadways with motorized vehicles and have adopted legislation to promote the safety of cyclists. Below are excerpts from the Chicago Municipal Code and Illinois Statutes that commonly form the basis of bike injury lawsuits.

Illinois’ laws applicable to bicycle safety can be found in the Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 605 ILCS 5/ Illinois Highway Code.

Chicago has additional laws concerning bicycle safety which are found in the Municipal Code of Chicago, Title 9: Vehicles, Traffic and Rail Transportation.

I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys

"I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys to help me with a hit and run accident that left me in the hospital for three weeks. After getting the run around from the insurance company, these guys took care of getting all of my medical records and bills and were able to get the case settled in about 90 days. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a top notch law firm in Chicago for a personal injury case. Very pleased with their service."
