Many bicyclists enjoy DuPage County or use their bike as a way to commute to work. Unfortunately, too many accidents in the county involve bicycle injuries or fatalities. Often times, individuals involved in bicycle-related accidents suffer catastrophic injuries that can leave them permanently disabled.

Bicycle-related accidents can occur under various circumstances. Common types of bicycle accidents with injuries or death in DuPage County involve:

  • Serious accidents with injuries when the bicyclist loses control, causing a crash
  • Sustained injuries when motorists hit a bicycle because they failed to provide a right of way for pedestrians and cyclists
  • Drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs, or drive recklessly or carelessly
  • Drivers colliding with the cyclist because they failed to detect a bicycle entering the road from a side street, pavement, sidewalk or driveway

Other Causation Factors

Cyclist can also be injured from hazardous road conditions where the surface of the street is treacherous or impassable. Many types of road hazards that increase the potential of being involved in a bike accident can include potholes, railroad crossings, trolley tracks and sewer grates. In many incidences, a skilled personal injury attorney who specializes in bicycle accidents will file a claim or lawsuit against road management companies and government agencies that are in charge of maintaining county roads.

If the attorney can show that unmarked road hazards, poor maintenance or shoddy repairs on the county streets caused the accident, they can hold the government agency and others accountable for their neglect. However, it is essential to file a suit or claim in a timely manner to avoid the expiration of the Illinois statute of limitations based on the date of the accident.

Seeking Recompense

The Chicago Injury Center website offers information on how to start the process of filing a claim or lawsuit for financial compensation. Our skilled personal injury attorneys offer legal representation to handle every aspect of the case including gathering evidence, speaking to witnesses, re-creating the accident scene and negotiating directly with insurance carriers or opposing counsel.

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."
