NBC 5 Chicago
is reporting that a bicyclist was injured in a bicycle accident after being struck by a CTA
Brown Line train. The bicycle accident occurred during night time hours at the
Kedzie Brown Line Station in Albany Park. Service on the the Brown
Line was temporarily halted and the injured bicyclist was transported to
Swedish Covenant Hospital.
Injuries from any kind of bicycle accident can
be quite significant. No matter how serious you believe an injury to
be at first, you should always seek medical advice and contact the
police. Medical cost for treatment can be extremely expensive.
Notifying the police is crucial in helping to make the responsible
party account for their actions. Information the police obtain from an
injured party can help to ensure that the injured party receives fair
compensation for medical treatment and the pain and suffering they had
to endure. If you have been involved in a bicycle accident in the
past two years, please contact the Illinois Bicycle Lawyers at Keating Law Offices.
