  • What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?

    After a bicycle accident, prioritize your safety by calling emergency services and seeking medical attention, even if you feel fine. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering witness information. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin building your case.

  • What types of compensation can I receive after a bicycle accident?

    You may be eligible for compensation covering all medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and bike repairs. If the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, we’ll ensure you receive full compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

  • How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?

    In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. It’s important to act quickly to gather evidence, secure witness statements, and build a strong case for maximum compensation.

  • What if the insurance company offers me a low settlement?

    Insurance companies often try to settle claims for less than they’re worth. Before accepting any offer, consult with a lawyer who can review the details of your case and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
