THE FIRST CONVERSATION MATTERS

01case at a time

Preserve the records. Check the deadline.

YOUR CASE / OUR INVESTIGATION

A bicycle claim requires more than a damaged bike.

Position, direction, lane markings and driver movements can determine how a collision unfolded. The bicycle, helmet and available video may reveal details that a short report misses.

Cincinnati’s Central Parkway protected bike lane is a concrete local example of why roadway design matters. We investigate the configuration at the actual location rather than assuming every bike facility works the same way.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS

Cincinnati bicycle accident questions.

01Can I make a claim if I was riding in a bike lane?

A bike lane can be relevant evidence, but liability still depends on the collision facts and applicable traffic rules.

02Should I keep my bicycle and helmet?

Yes, when possible. Avoid disposing of damaged equipment before its evidentiary value is considered.

03What if a driver opened a car door into my path?

Preserve the location, vehicle details, photographs and witness information. Door-opening collisions require review of the actual movements and duties involved.

04Does a bicycle crash require a police report?

A report can be useful evidence. Contact the appropriate agency about reporting and records; medical care and immediate safety come first.
