Bicycle Accidents in Ohio
When cycling in Ohio, riders have minimal protection on the road. In 2019, 843 cyclists tragically lost their lives in car accidents across the United States. The number of cyclist fatalities has increased by over 36% since 2010, marking a significant rise from the record low in that year. Head injuries account for a large portion of severe injuries sustained in bicycle collisions.
Collisions between bicycles and negligent drivers often result in severe or fatal injuries to the rider. Cyclists who endure broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries may face extended and costly recovery periods.
