Were You Involved in a Bicycle Accident That Resulted in Injury?

At Cantor and Burger we are avid bicycle riders along with our families, and we believe strongly that bicycles share the road and do our part to educate the public in that regard.  If you are in an automobile, please honor the right of a bicycle rider to be on the side of the road and please do not honk, harass or get angry at riders.  Remember that bike riders have a right to use the road, just as you do in an automobile, and must respect the vehicles and respect the rules of the road as well.  Please teach your children about helmet safety and the rules of the road.

Unfortunately, bike riders do sometimes get into bicycle accidents and injure themselves. Because bike riders do not have a structure protecting them, most bicycle accidents involving a motorized vehicle cause serious injury.  If you’re riding a bike always wear your helmet, eye protection, gloves and be careful with clip on shoes. Watch out for drivers who may not be paying attention.  If you have a bike injury because of someone’s carelessness or negligence, call us and we will help. We have fought and won bike accident cases alleging the automobile drivers negligence such as:

  • Inattention
  • Speeding
  • Improper lane usage or lane change
  • Violation of a traffic signal or sign
  • Drug or alcohol use
  • Following too closely

We have represented numerous bike riders and secured tremendous recoveries in bike accident cases.  We currently have many filed lawsuits involving injured bicycle riders in both Illinois and Missouri. We have seen bike injury clients with traumatic brain injuries and concussions.  Many times these injuries also result in scarring or road rash which is painful and must be compensated.  If you have been involved in a bike accident that resulted in injury please call Cantor & Burger and we will aggressively represent you and get you a recovery you deserve for your incident.

We will hire the necessary experts to win your case including those to testify as to the rules of the road and the automobile driver’s obligations to bikers.  We will hire experts to establish your damages and may hire economists, accident re-constructionists, and others so that we can win your bike accident case.

Mark Cantor and Gary Burger will personally represent you and will forward all costs necessary to win.  If we lose, you do not owe us any money.  Since hiring a lawyer is an important decision, it should not be based on advertising alone, so do not hire a lawyer just because you have seen them on television, but inquire as to the experience of that lawyer, the ability and resources to win, and who will actually be handling your case.  Call us because we will personally fight for you and know how to win.  Our number is 314 542-9999 and our phones are answered 24 hours a day and seven days a week by a real person.  Gary or Mark will receive a text message if it is after hours from our answering service and we will call you back immediately.
