Cars have to share the road with bikes. Biking is a major form of transportation and recreation in the city of Chicago. Cars have to accept and share the road with all bicyclists. That is the law. If you are injured by a vehicle, please make sure you get all the information of the driver (name, home address, insurance information), file a police report and seek medical care. Sometimes, the driver does not stop, but a bicyclist may use their auto insurance as an underinsured claim. Seek out legal advise sooner than later, many times insurance companies take recorded statements from the injured person (you are not under any legal obligation to give a statement). They ask questions you do not expect. Please keep in mind the insurance company is looking out for the interests of the person who struck you. Find out what your rights are with an injury attorney first. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I have been practicing in this area for over 26 years, and I am an avid bicyclist. Bike Injury Attorney George 312 543 5892
