Bicycle Accident Lawyer Serving Toledo And Northwest Ohio

Because bicycles offer little protection, a collision can cause severe trauma, but fair compensation is within your reach.

At Johnson & Associates, we represent injured cyclists in Toledo and Northwest Ohio, offering guidance rooted in decades of experience. Our attorneys understand the challenges before you and are committed to positive results.

Causes Of Northwest Ohio Bicycle Accidents

Many Ohio bicycle crashes occur because drivers fail to notice cyclists or misjudge their speed. Other preventable errors involve:

• Right-hook bicycle crashes where a driver turns across a cyclist’s path
• Dooring accidents that involve someone opening a car door into a rider’s lane
• Distracted driving that prevents motorists from seeing cyclists
• Failure to yield at intersections where bikes have the legal right to proceed

These hazards can lead to serious injuries. Complicating matters, when a cyclist is hit by a car in Ohio, riders may need to rely on their own uninsured motorist coverage for cyclists if the at‑fault driver lacks adequate insurance.

Ohio Bicycle Laws And Right‑Of‑Way

Ohio law gives cyclists the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, yet many motorists mistakenly believe bikes belong on the sidewalk. In reality, sidewalk riding is often unsafe and may violate local rules. The state also requires drivers to leave at least three feet when passing a cyclist. 

Serious Injuries In Bike Versus Car Collisions

As bike injury attorneys in Northwest Ohio, we know that bicycle crashes frequently cause catastrophic harm. Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord trauma and severe road rash often require long‑term care and pose monumental medical costs.
