Bicyclists and drivers share many of the same roads in Illinois, and when they crash, determining who is at fault for the accident can be complicated. While some people assume that the car’s driver is always responsible, that is not actually true. In some accidents, a bicyclist may share some or all of the blame. Understanding what factors courts and insurers will look at can help both bicyclists and drivers protect their rights after a bicycle and car crash.
