When you’ve been seriously injured while riding your bike, you need legal guidance and support from an experienced lawyer. At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, we know what it takes to prove the driver owed you a duty of care and how to illustrate the negative impact on your daily life. Let us explain the process and what you can expect in a free, no-risk consultation.
Ohio law, under Ohio Revised Code ORC §2305.10, bicycle accident claims and all personal injury lawsuits need to be filed before the two-year statute of limitations expires. This deadline is strict. If your claim is not filed in time, the Ohio civil courts will prohibit you from having your case heard at trial.
The sooner you get an attorney on your case, the more likely we can gather time-sensitive evidence, such as video footage of your bicycle accident and witness statements. If this evidence is lost, it could be more difficult to prove liability in your case.
Bicyclists have a responsibility to follow all traffic laws. This way, they are treated the same way as traditional motorists and have the same rights. Bikers should be prepared to yield to the right of way, stop at traffic lights, and utilize bike lanes and crosswalks. Bikers always have the right of way when they are in a crosswalk.
If a pedestrian caused another driver to hit you, you may be entitled to take legal action against the liable party. Your lawyer must conduct a thorough investigation to ensure all parties who contributed to your accident are identified and named in your claim or lawsuit. This way, you can recover maximum compensation.
Local ordinances require Akron bicyclists to wear a helmet if they are under 16. But if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, your possible compensation could be reduced under Ohio’s modified comparative negligence laws (Ohio Revised Code ORC 2315.33).
This could result in a shared fault deduction which could adversely impact the amount of compensation you are awarded. Your attorney will ensure fault is accurately assessed in your case to protect your bicycle accident settlement.
