Any person who sustains a bicycle accident injury in Illinois caused by the negligent actions of another driver should be able to recover compensation for their losses. This should come from the at-fault driver's insurance policy, which should pay for the following expenses:

• All medical bills related to the bicycle accident
• Lost income if the bicyclist cannot work
• Property damage expenses for the bicycle, a cell phone, computer, or other property damaged in the incident
• Pain and suffering damages
• Loss of quality of life damages

Illinois does operate under a modified comparative negligence system. This means that the total amount of damages that a bicyclist recovers could be reduced if the bicyclist shared any fault for the incident. However, so long as a bicyclist is less than 51% responsible for the incident, they should be able to recover compensation.

Bicyclists are considered vulnerable runway users in the Evanston area. This means that they are very likely to sustain injuries in the event a collision with another vehicle occurs. Some of the main injuries that our bicycle accident attorneys help clients recover compensation for include the following:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions
• Open facial or head wounds
• Spinal cord injuries
• Whiplash
• Other severe neck or back trauma
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Road rash
• Broken or dislocated bones
• Significant internal bleeding
• Scarring and disfigurement

Bicycle accident victims could also suffer from significant emotional and psychological trauma as a result of the incident, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is important for our attorneys to recover compensation for all of our clients' injuries, including the visible traumatic injuries we discussed as well as these unseen emotional and psychological traumas.
