“The driver's insurer tried to say I came out of nowhere. The team found nearby video, walked me through the evidence, and helped make sure my side of the crash was actually heard.”

Bicycle Cases Are Won on Details That Are Easy to Miss.
A bike-lane crash, dooring incident, right hook, or unsafe pass can look simple at first. The details of timing, position, visibility, and roadway design can change the entire liability picture.
Preserve the Scene Story
We identify photos, video, witnesses, road markings, traffic controls, and the physical damage to the bicycle and vehicle.
Analyze Right-of-Way and Fault
We examine the movements of each road user and the rules that applied at the location of the crash.
Build the Injury and Loss Record
Treatment, missed work, equipment damage, pain, and longer-term limitations are documented as part of the claim.
Why should bicycle evidence be preserved quickly?
Street-level evidence can disappear fast. Business cameras overwrite footage, vehicles are repaired, road conditions change, and witnesses become harder to locate. Early investigation can protect details that later become central to the claim.
Bicycle Accidents FAQs
There is no automatic answer. Fault depends on what each person was doing and which traffic rules and duties applied. Illinois law generally gives bicyclists using the highway the rights and duties applicable to drivers, subject to bicycle-specific rules and provisions that do not logically apply to bicycles.
