Bicycle Accidents in Ohio
Cycling in Ohio can be quite dangerous, as riders often have little protection on the road. In 2019, a staggering 843 cyclists lost their lives in accidents involving cars across the United States. This figure reflects a concerning trend, as cyclist fatalities have increased by over 36% since 2010. That year marked a low point for cyclist deaths. Many severe injuries sustained during bicycle accidents are caused by head trauma, highlighting the risks that riders face.
Collisions between bicycles and careless or negligent drivers frequently lead to serious injuries or even fatalities for cyclists. Riders may suffer from broken bones, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, which can result in long and expensive recovery periods. Injured cyclists often face not only physical pain but also financial difficulties, especially if they must take time off work to heal. However, when a bicycle accident occurs due to someone else’s poor choices, injured riders may have the legal right to seek compensation for their injuries.
