Illinois law gives cyclists the same general rights and duties as drivers. Common Chicago crashes include dooring, when a parked driver opens a door into a bike lane, and turning trucks. State law says nobody should open a car door unless it's reasonably safe. Photograph the bike and keep your damaged helmet and clothes as evidence.
