Bike & Scooter Accidents

Scooter and Bike Accident Attorneys in Illinois

Across America, the price of gas is on the rise. This increase has left motorists looking for more cost effective methods of transportation. Two methods that are now being utilized are bikes and scooters. Since these vehicles take little or no gasoline, commuters are able to better manage their budgets and daily transportation costs while commuting to work and running errands. However, since these vehicles have become more common on roadways across Chicago, Wheaton, Waukegan, Richmond and the entire state of Illinois, so have scooter and bike accidents.

Bikes and scooters are efficient means of transportation, but do not protect the rider in an accident much like a car or other motor vehicle does. This leads to a bike or scooter rider sustaining much more serious injuries when colliding with a larger vehicle. A rider may be left with a range of injuries, including:

•  Spinal cord injury
•  Head or brain injury
•  Contusions (bruises)
•  Deep lacerations (cuts) and scrapes
•  Road rash

Our firm also compassionately represents families of individuals that have been killed in a bike or scooter accident. We aggressively pursue wrongful death claims in order to seek justice for the loss of a loved one.
