You followed the rules. The road still failed you.

Bike lane accidents happen when drivers drift into designated lanes, fail to yield, or when poor road design and maintenance put cyclists at real risk, whether on a protected lane downtown or a painted lane in a neighborhood like Logan Square where riders commute every single day of the week and year.

Riders often assume they're protected simply by staying within the lane. Still, a pothole, faded markings, double-parked delivery vehicles, or a distracted driver crossing the line can turn a routine ride into a serious, life-altering injury in an instant.

Bret Franco's insider knowledge of how insurance companies evaluate liability helps him build a strong case, whether the responsible party is a driver, a city agency, or a property owner who failed to maintain the roadway for cyclists' safety and well-being properly.
