Next case.
Both at fault to some extent, she may be more than he is, Illinois is a comparative negligence state.
She shouldn't have done a Uturn without looking, especially after an apparent turn to the right. He definitely had a legal duty to announce.
I'm going 70%-30% here. She can't collect because she's more than 50% responsible, but is only liable for 70% of his damages, next case.
I'm not clear that road rules apply to bike paths in Illinois, anyone care to elucidate? I'm too busy to look at statutes.
