Personal Injuries From Bike Crash
The violence of the collision threw her off-balance and she eventually crashed to the ground. She was hurled so violently against the pavement that one of her injuries required surgery to resolve. The cyclist underwent a surgical procedure known as a "left subcutaneous ulnar nerve transposition surgery." Afterwards, her left arm was immobilized with a splint for several weeks following the surgery. She was left with a large visible permanent scar on her left arm which impacted her life as a model and a dancer. Additionally, she continued to experience weakness, pain, and numbness at the location of the scar for 18 months after the accident.
Instead of attempting to work with the cyclist to compensate her for the damages she suffered due to the defendant’s negligence, the CTA claimed that the cyclist was at fault. They claimed she failed to control her bike, failed to ride as close to the curb as possible, failed to stay in her lane, failed to keep a proper lookout, and failed to take evasive action to avoid an accident.
Personal Injury Lawsuit Filed To Protect Rights of Chicago Bicyclist
She knew she needed help and she reached out to the Illinois Bicycle Lawyers at Keating Law Offices who filed a lawsuit on her behalf in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Through diligent investigation, they uncovered that the CTA’s own transportation manager found that the defendant violated their Standard Operating Procedures in a multitude of ways ranging from the protocols for attention to duty, the defensive driving guide, mirror adjustment and use, and passing and being passed. Additionally, they found evidence that the defendant violated portions of the Municipal Code of Chicago as well as the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code.
Using their advocacy skills, the Illinois Bicycle Lawyers at Keating Law Offices were able to recover a substantial settlement from the CTA for this injured Chicago bicyclist. The settlement was reached without having to resort to filing a lawsuit and will fully compensate the bicyclist for her medical bills, time off from work, and her pain and suffering.
