A lawsuit in the 2016 death of a 25-year-old woman on a bike has ended in a $5.25 million award to her family.

Wicker Park resident Virginia “Ginny” Murray was struck by a flatbed truck while riding a Divvy bike in July 2016 in Avondale. She was taken to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

Murray’s family sued the truck driver, Cosmin A. Radu, and his employer, A&B Hardwood Flooring Supplies. The city of Chicago and Divvy were not defendants in the lawsuit.

The family declined a $500,000 settlement offer and sought $13 million at trial, according to Jeff Kroll of law firm Kaveny & Kroll, who represented the family. This week a Cook County jury initially awarded the family $7 million in damages, Kroll said. The jury reduced the award to $5.25 million after finding Murray 25 percent at fault in the fatal crash.

After Murray's death, the North American Bikeshare Association issued a statement saying it was believed to be the first bike-share death in the U.S.

Kroll says requiring cyclists to share narrow roadways with trucks, buses and other vehicles is “a recipe for disaster.”

“That’s the difficulty now with these Divvy bikes and all these other bike shares around the country, we encourage people to be bicyclists, but it’s difficult when you’ve got to peacefully coexist with other vehicles on the roadway,” he said.

The defendants’ attorney didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Murray attended St. Ignatius College Prep and the University of Illinois.
