P&N BLOG | Why You Need a Bike-Share Accident Attorney After a Divvy Injury in Illinois

Bike-share programs like Divvy have quickly become a popular way to get around in cities like Chicago and throughout Illinois. They offer affordability, convenience, and a more sustainable commute. But with more riders hitting the streets, bike-share accidents are on the rise, and the injuries that result can be serious.

If you’ve been injured while riding a Divvy or another bike-share service, hiring a bike-share accident attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. At The Law Offices of Parente & Norem, P.C., we help victims of bike-share and scooter accidents recover the compensation they deserve.

What Makes Bike-Share Accidents So Legally Complex?

Unlike a typical bike crash, bike-share accidents often involve multiple responsible parties: the rider, a driver, the bike-share company, or even the city. The legal responsibility isn’t always clear, and the insurance coverage isn’t either.

That’s why it’s essential to work with a Divvy accident lawyer who understands the nuances of Illinois personal injury law and the specific policies governing bike-share services.

Our legal team brings years of experience handling personal injury claims across Illinois, including bike-share accidents. We stay current on laws and local ordinances that impact your case; ensuring your claim is built on solid legal ground.

Accurate Liability Assessment

Was the accident caused by a distracted driver? A defective bike? Poorly maintained roads? Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation to identify all liable parties and ensure that you are not wrongfully blamed for the incident.

Maximized Compensation for Your Injuries

A serious bike-share injury can result in high medical bills, lost wages, and long-term effects on your quality of life. We seek full compensation for:
