Bicycle Accidents
The lawyers of Meyer and Blumenshine represent people throughout Illinois who have suffered personal injuries or who have lost a family member due to a severe bicycle accident. Collisions between bicyclists and vehicles are increasing as bike riding grows in popularity and we see new and improved bicycle paths alongside or that intersect with automobile roadways. Driver negligence often leads to bicyclist injuries, especially in congested areas such as Chicago, Illinois. Car and truck drivers often do not keep a lookout for bicyclists, do not see bicyclists, ignore bicyclists or drive carelessly in the presence of bicyclists. Bicyclists have legal rights to travel on roadways and bike paths. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injuries in a vehicle collision because their entire body is exposed to impact. Injuries may also arise from the defective manufacture, assembly, repair or maintenance of a bicycle. Whether you or a loved one lives in Chicago or somewhere else in Illinois, the lawyers at Meyer and Blumenshine can help if there has been a motor vehicle related bicycle accident.
