Bicycles have become an increasingly common type of transportation and an essential part of our lives. No matter how diligent bicyclists are about security, some bicyclists will still become victims of a crash caused by somebody else. The bicycle accident lawyers of Paul Fina have a solid commitment to safeguarding their rights.

Many bicyclists have stories of “near-misses” with an automobile or of an encounter with an angry motorist. In Downers Grove communities with bike lanes and routes meant to provide increased protection and visibility to bicyclists, there are episodes of driver’s “dooring” bicyclists by opening their car doors to some bicyclist’s path in Parks on sidewalks or “buz-zing” bicyclists riding by passing too slowly and closely nearby.

Under the laws in Illinois bicyclists have the same right to utilize our streets as motor vehicles. The law requires explicitly motor vehicle motorists to work with due care to avoid hitting bicyclists. However, bicycle crashes occur too often, and bicyclists are hurt due to dangerously careless or inattentive drivers.
