At Schum Law we want to get you the best claim and back on the road with confidence.

Bicycling can be a fun and healthy activity, yet very dangerous. In 2012, 726 people lost their lives in bicycle accidents throughout the United States, just under two people every day of the year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In Illinois, 29 people died in a bicycle accident. In 2012, it is estimated that there were about 49,000 bicyclist injuries. An accident, even at a small speed, can severely disable a bicyclist. Under Illinois law, bicycles are considered vehicles and must follow the same laws when on the road as cars.

RESPECTING THE ROADWAYS FOR BICYCLISTS.

There are many causes of bicycle accidents, including being doored by a vehicle, collisions with a vehicle, collisions with a trailer or boat pulled by a vehicle, accidents involving government or municipal vehicles and buses, road rage accidents, swerving to avoid a vehicle, defective bicycle components, and roadway defects.
