A female bicyclist injured on April 26, 2011 when a motorist crashed into her as she rode along West Division Street, just east of Wells Street, will receive the full amount of available insurance as compensation for her injuries. Our firm represented the cyclist in her claim against the driver and his insurer. The bicyclist was riding along the right side of the roadway, her boyfriend on his bike a few feet ahead of her, just after 5:00 when a 2002 Suzuki Aerio suddenly merged into her from her left. The impact sent the rider over her handlebars and onto the street where her helmeted head struck the pavement.
An ambulance transported her to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where she was treated for a fracture elbow. Thankfully, CT scans of her brain revealed no significant head injury. In the months since the incident she has achieved a full recovery.

25 Year Old Bicyclist Struck By Motorist In Chicago's Old Town Neighborhood
A 25 year old Chicagoan sustained a left elbow fracture and a concussion after being struck by a motorist as she rode her bicycle near 149 West Division Street on April 26th. The bicyclist was taken from the scene via ambulance to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. She had been wearing a helmet, which may have saved her from sustaining a far worse head injury. She remains in treatment for her elbow fracture. Our law firm is aggressively pursuing a claim against the at fault motorist on the bicyclist's behalf.
The incident occurred at around 5:10 p.m. as the cyclist rode at a modest pace eastbound along the right side of West Division behind her boyfriend in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. As the two approached Division's intersection with LaSalle Street, the driver of a 2002 Suzuki Aerio, also headed eastbound on Divisioin, suddenly merged right into the bicyclist, the front of his vehicle striking her rear wheel. Her boyfriend, traveling about 10 feet in front of her, heard a sickening crunch as her head and left side struck the pavement.
