How Can a Cleveland Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help Me?

In-Depth Legal Knowledge

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

Investigative Skills

We can investigate the cause of the motorcycle-car accident, gather evidence (such as witness statements), and build a strong motorcycle accident claim.

Negotiation Skills

Insurance companies can try to shift blame when accidents happen or initially offer low settlements, so our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers work with insurance adjusters to ensure victims get full and fair compensation for their severe injuries.

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

Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Cleveland, Ohio

Motorcycle accidents in Cleveland can occur in various ways, such as left-turn collisions, intersection crashes, lane splitting incidents (see: Ohio lane-splitting law), dooring accidents, and those caused by road hazards like potholes or debris on the roadway. Motorcycle crashes with other drivers can also occur if a vehicle driver speeds, loses control, or doesn’t check blind spots.

Serious Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Cleveland, OH

Motorcycle accidents often lead to serious injuries for riders, who lack the protective barriers of other vehicles. Common injuries include spinal cord injuries (SCIs), brain trauma like traumatic brain injuries, road rash, neck injuries, broken bones, permanent disabilities, and internal trauma. If the accident causes a fatality, we can file a wrongful death lawsuit.

What to Do After Cleveland Motorcycle Accidents

If you’ve been in a motorcycle collision, follow these steps:

  1. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine, and keep all receipts for medical expenses.
  2. Stay at the accident scene.
  3. Call 911 (or the Ohio State Highway Patrol) and keep the police officer’s report.
  4. Take photos of the scene and motorcycle injuries; gather witness contact info.
  5. Don’t admit fault or apologize.
  6. Don’t post on social media.
  7. Consult an Ohio motorcycle accident attorney to discuss options for a personal injury lawsuit.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims in Cleveland

When another party’s negligence caused your accident, a Cleveland motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm can help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and wrongful death claims (for surviving family members).

What Is My Cleveland Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

An experienced personal injury lawyer evaluates the value of a legal claim by looking at many factors, such as:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Your medical costs (both current and future medical treatment)
  • Loss of income or earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life
  • The insurance coverage of the at-fault driver

Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule; if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to pursue compensation.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Ohio?

According to the Ohio statute of limitations, if you’re injured in an accident with a motorcycle involved, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim. Exceptions may apply, so consulting a lawyer is essential to ensure you meet the deadline and can seek compensation.
