According to the National Highway Safety Transportation Safety Administration, 716 bicyclists were killed and more than 50,000 bicyclists were injured in accidents. While it should come as no surprise, most bicycle accidents occurred in cities and urban areas (almost 70%) and more than 1/3 of bicycle accidents occurred at intersections.

The injury attorneys at Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll have experience in handling every type of bicycle accident case imaginable. While many bicycle accidents occur at intersections, other bicycle accidents occur at or near alleys, cross walks, school areas, playgrounds, bike lanes, sidewalks and bike paths. As can be expected, many accidents are caused by distracted drivers who are not watching the road carefully.

Unfortunately, children are often victims of bicycle accidents.  Many bicycle accidents result in personal injuries to the brain, spinal column or extremities.

If you have been in any way involved in a bicycling accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries with a settlement, or ultimately, a verdict.  Family members of victims of bicycle accidents may also file a wrongful death claim.  Our Chicago injury lawyers take into account the circumstances of your case and help you decide whether to file a personal injury and/or wrongful death claim.  Contact us at (312) 676-7222 or fill out our contact form to set up a personal consultation.
