THE MOST COMMON BIKE ACCIDENT INJURIES

Bicyclists are inherently exposed to danger from oncoming traffic. While bikes have a legal right to use Ohio’s public roads, far too many drivers in our state simply fail to treat bicyclists with the proper amount of respect. Many bike collisions could and should have been avoided, if only the driver had taken proper care to watch out for the cyclist. Our law firm handles the full range of bike accident injuries. No claim is too big or too small for our Fremont personal injury lawyers. Some of the most common bicycle accident injuries that we see include:

  • Deep lacerations;
  • Road rash and other skin injuries;
  • Muscle and ligament tear;
  • Joint injuries;
  • Facial injuries, including dental injuries;
  • Concussions and TBIs;
  • Back and neck injuries;
  • Spinal cord damages;
  • Partial or total paralysis; and
  • Amputations.

The Statute of Limitations in Bicycle Accident Cases

In Ohio, most personal injury claims, including bike accident injury lawsuits, are governed by the state’s two-year statute of limitations. What happens if you fail to bring your claim within the 24-month deadline? Your case will almost certainly be dismissed. You will lose out on any available compensation.

The best thing you can do to protect your rights is to initiate your case as soon as possible after an accident. Your Fremont, OH bicycle accident lawyer will conduct an immediate investigation of your crash and begin working with the insurance company. The sooner you take action, the more likely that you will be able to get full and fair compensation for your damages.

LIABILITY IN OHIO BICYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIMS

In Ohio, negligent parties can be held legally liable for an accident. As the state has comparative negligence rules (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33), multiple parties can be held responsible for the same collision. In shared liability cases, each defendant will be held liable for their percentage of the blame for the crash. To prove that a driver is responsible for your bike accident, you must successfully assert that their unreasonably dangerous conduct caused your accident.

Winning a bike accident injury lawsuit requires putting forth strong supporting evidence. In some bicycle accident cases, negligent drivers admit and accept fault for the collision. However, in many cases, there are disputes over the true cause of the crash. Injured victims need to get an experienced Fremont bicycle accident lawyer by their side who can help build a strong case to prove liability and hold the negligent driver accountable.

Injured Victims Need Financial Compensation

At Groth & Associates, our Fremont bicycle accident lawyers can help you get justice and true financial security. We can help Sandusky County, OH bike accident victims recover damages for:
