Case evaluations are always free as are our services unless your case resolves in your favor.

Dedication

Our law firm is dedicated to representing bicyclists and other vulnerable roadway users. Those are the only cases we handle. Our attorneys and staff are cyclists working for cyclists.

Our Perspective

The Illinois Vehicle Code was not written with cyclists or pedestrians as its focus. Many parts of our laws overlook the real challenges that pedestrians and cyclists face just trying to get around. Most roads in Illinois were designed with only automobile traffic in mind.

We’re here to help you

We represent injured bicyclists throughout the entire State of Illinois. Chicago is our home, but not our only focus. City, suburban and rural cycling have their own challenges, and we have years of experience with each.

Brendan H. Kevenides

Attorney

Brendan Kevenides has been a personal injury attorney for 17 years. Immediately following law school he became an associate attorney with Patrick J. Kenneally, Ltd., a well-regarded trial law firm representing only injured people. During his many years with the Kenneally firm Brendan was in charge of litigating numerous complex personal injury cases of all kinds. A substantial portion of his practice involved representing victims of medical negligence. But he also represented people injured in construction accidents, motor vehicle collisions, boating accidents, by dangerous products, dangerous premises, malicious animals and, of course, bicycle crashes.
