Finding Compensation After a Bike Accident
When a bicycle and car get in an accident, the biker rarely walks away from the scene uninjured. Each year, hundreds of cyclists are killed in bicycle accidents and numerous others are seriously injured. If you were injured, or if your child or teenager was injured or killed, it is important to hold the accountable parties responsible.
Klest Injury Law Firm has over 29 years of experience representing clients throughout Chicago and the surrounding Illinois suburbs in bicycle accident cases. Anyone who rides a bike is at risk to be injured in an accident. Attorney Joseph Klest offers all clients the representation they need:
- Injured children: Although the law requires motorists to yield to cyclists the same way they would to another car or truck, many people do not know that. Children are also smaller, harder to see and often less aware of their surroundings than adult cyclists. If your child was injured in a bicycle accident, attorney Joseph Klest can help you find the compensation you need.
- Injured teenagers: The greatest dangers bikers face is while riding at night, and nearly half of all accidents at night involve teenagers. Due to the size difference in bikers and motorists, bikers often face serious injuries. Klest Injury Law Firm works with clients to receive compensation for injuries, such as spinal damage, paralysis, broken bones or wrongful death.
- Injured adults: As an increasing number of people turn to bikes as a green mode of transportation, the number of bicycle accidents also increases. Adults who ride recreationally or who use their bike as their primary mode of transportation ride in danger of being unnoticed by motorists on the road. If you or a loved one was injured, an experienced personal injury lawyer can hold the negligent party accountable.
