Who Is Responsible for Your Injuries?
You have to consider many different things when you’re involved in a bicycle accident. For example, you need to know who caused your injury. This is especially true for an accident that includes multiple vehicles or bicycles.
Different states have their own laws, but in most areas, the driver who was found guilty of negligent driving is held responsible and required to compensate you for your trouble. If the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance and is in a lower income bracket, your claim could be limited. But if the person who caused your injury has an abundance of insurance coverage, you might be able to fight for a larger settlement.
Can You Get Compensation After a Bicycle Accident?
If you, the cyclist, are more than 50 percent at fault for the accident because of lost control, careless riding, counter-steering, or breaking traffic laws, you are not eligible for compensation. This is because of Ohio’s comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code Section 2315.33).
On the other hand, if a car or a truck hit you and you were injured, you are likely eligible for compensation to cover past and future losses, such as medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses.
A cyclist’s rights are not so different from those of a car or truck driver. If you’re unsure of your rights, a Dayton bicycle accident lawyer can help you recognize what increases your odds at compensation and guide you on your way to a successful case.
How Much Should You Pay for a Lawyer?
Some lawyers charge hourly fees. Others will have you pay upfront before they take on your case. However, they may immediately drop your case if you fail to pay.
Other lawyers prefer a contingency contract agreement. When you agree on a contingency contract with your lawyer, you will not pay by an hourly rate or upfront costs. You only pay when the lawyer wins your claim. Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers works under these conditions.
Where finances are concerned, you don’t need to worry. Payment is only involved if we win your case, and the money will be deducted from your settlement amount. If you lose, we won’t take a penny from you.

What You Need to Know Before Filing for Compensation
A personal injury lawyer will usually try negotiating with the insurance company first. If this doesn’t work, they might recommend filing a lawsuit. You can utilize a lawyer for this process as well.
To file a claim or lawsuit, you must be confident that there’s solid evidence. Proof of the at-fault party’s negligence and your injuries may include the following:
- Medical records
- Police reports
- Photographs of the scene
- The vehicles engaged in the accident
- CCTV footage
You will most likely encounter a setback if you file without having firm evidence. This is because once you file suit, things begin to progress quickly regarding discovery and evidence depositions.
Statute of Limitations
It’s never too early to file your claim – you may even do so the day the incident occurred. However, it is possible to file your claim too late.
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Ohio is two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10. You must meet this deadline to have your case considered. If you fail to file before the deadline, you may be denied and lose your claim.
