Chicago Bicycle & Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Defending the Rights of Injured Bicyclists and Pedestrians in Illinois

Motorists are protected by thousands of pounds of metal and rubber. By contrast, bicyclists and pedestrians often have no protection at all from negligent drivers. Because bicyclists and pedestrians are so vulnerable, they can sustain serious and life-changing injuries in collisions with motor vehicles.

At Morici, Longo & Associates, our Chicago bicycle accident lawyers help injured individuals obtain justice and compensation in personal injury claims against negligent motorists and liable insurance companies.

In Chicago, bicycle and pedestrian traffic has increased dramatically in recent years. In the first 10 years of the new millennium, for instance, the number of people who commuted to work by bicycle increased threefold, from around 6,000 commuters per day to more than 15,000.

With these increases have also come the increased risk of bike and pedestrian crashes and injuries. According to Chicago city government statistics, failure to yield by a driver occurred in about 40% of bicycle crashes from 2005 to 2010.
