How Can an Akron Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help Me?

In-Depth Legal Knowledge

We can explain the Ohio legal system and your legal options to recover fair compensation.

Negotiation Skills

Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers work with insurance adjusters to ensure victims get full and fair compensation for their severe injuries. This includes working with your own insurer to use uninsured motorist coverage in certain cases.

How a Motorcycle Wreck Lawyer Can Help Maximize the Value of Your Case in Akron

Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Akron, Ohio

Motorcycle accidents in Akron can occur in various ways, such as left-turn collisions, intersection crashes, lane splitting incidents (see: Ohio’s lane splitting traffic law), dooring accidents, and accidents caused by road hazards like potholes or debris.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Akron, OH

Motorcycle accident victims can suffer severe injuries—and often life-threatening injuries—because they lack the protective barriers of other vehicles even when they wear helmets (Ohio requires helmets for riders under 18 years old). The death rate for motorcyclists is 29 times higher than that of car occupants.

Common injuries sustained include spinal cord injuries (SCIs), which can result in partial or complete paralysis, as well as head injuries like traumatic brain injuries, road rash, neck injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma.

What to Do After Akron Motorcycle Accidents

Riders injured in a motorcycle accident should:

  1. Seek medical attention and keep all medical records. Maintaining records of medical bills and expenses is essential for claims.
  2. Stay at the accident scene.
  3. Call 911 (or the Ohio State Highway Patrol) and keep the police reports.
  4. Take photos of the scene and motorcycle injuries; gather witness contact info.
  5. Don’t admit fault or apologize. Insurance companies may argue you were at fault to reduce payouts.
  6. Consult a skilled personal injury attorney to discuss a motorcycle injury claim.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims in Akron

Motorcycle accident victims can seek economic and non-economic damages. When another driver’s negligence caused your accident with pain and suffering involved, an Akron motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm can help you seek compensation for medical bills (doctor, hospital, and physical therapy expenses), lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and wrongful death claims (for surviving family members).

What Is My Akron Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

An experienced personal injury lawyer evaluates the value of a motorcycle crash case by looking at many factors, such as:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Your medical expenses (both current and future medical care)
  • Loss of income or earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life
  • The insurance coverage of the other driver who was at fault

Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule, so you can seek compensation even if you were partially to blame.

How Much Time Do Injured Bikers Have to File an Akron Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Ohio?

According to the Ohio statute of limitations, motorcycle accident victims generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim, though exceptions may apply. Consulting a lawyer is essential to ensure your injuries don’t prevent you from meeting the deadline and pursuing compensation.
