The driver made the turn. You paid the price.
A right hook accident occurs when a vehicle turns right directly into the path of a cyclist traveling straight through an intersection or bike lane, whether downtown or along a corridor like Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square, where cyclists and cars share the road every single day.
It happens fast, often at low speed, and cyclists are left with serious injuries and little warning before the impact even occurs. Drivers frequently claim they never saw the cyclist coming, even when the rider had the right of way the entire time and was riding predictably and safely along the route.
Bret Franco's insurance defense background gives him direct insight into how these claims get evaluated and disputed, since right-of-way arguments are exactly the kind of case insurers try to muddy in their own favor to avoid paying a fair claim.
