Motorcycle Accident Injuries Could Qualify You for Compensation
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 5,000 motorcyclists were killed on U.S. roadways in 2018. The NHTSA also reports that motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to suffer a fatal accident than passenger car occupants, in part because of the lack of protection motorcycle riders have. Motorcycle riders have much less protection and insulation from the blunt force trauma and impact of an accident than vehicle occupants.
Motorcycle accidents can lead to serious and life-altering injuries, substantial medical care bills, and an inability to work after the accident. Even mild or moderate injuries can have a substantial impact on the financial stability of the victim and their family. Some common types of motorcycle accident injuries include:
- Head and brain trauma
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Road rash
- Lacerations and bruising
- Broken and fractured bones
- Nerve injuries
- Internal organ damage
If you suffered any of these or similar injuries after a motorcycle accident in Cincinnati, you have a right to seek compensation from the liable party. Whether you are seeking damages after you or your loved one experienced an accident, a lawyer from our team wants to help.
Damages You Could Recover in a Motorcycle Accident Case
Depending on how your accident happened, who was at fault, and the extent of the damages you suffered, you may be able to file a claim for the following:
- Medical care and treatment costs, including the costs of medications, surgery, therapy, and diagnostic tests
- Long-term therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Lost income if you were unable to work due to your accident
- Vehicle and property damage
- And more
If you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit, a different set of damages may be available to you, such as:
- Burial and funeral expenses
- Medical costs for treating the injuries prior to your loved one’s death
- Wages and benefits the deceased will no longer be able to provide
- And more
Our team at the Fitch Law Firm LLC can help you determine which costs, damages, and losses you may be able to seek in a compensation claim based on the unique circumstances of your case.

Liability for Motorcycle Accidents
A motorcycle accident lawyer from the Fitch Law Firm can investigate your Cincinnati case and determine who is liable for your injuries when we represent you. The liable party may include a driver, mechanic, or municipality whose negligence led to your accident.
Medical records, photos of the accident scene, and eyewitness testimony can be used to support your case, so be sure to hold on to any evidence you already have. Our team can use this to begin our investigation into who may be responsible.
When a Road User is Liable for a Motorcycle Collision
Many car and truck drivers are unfamiliar with the driving rules related to sharing the road with motorcycle riders. Because of the small size of motorcycles compared to other vehicles, inattentive drivers may be unaware of the presence of a motorcycle on the road until it is too late. When a driver exhibits one of the following behaviors, they could be responsible for damages in an accident case:
- Aggressive or reckless driving
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Sudden lane changes
- Failure to yield
Many other negligent behaviors can contribute to a motorcycle accident as well. Our team will work hard to uncover proof of what happened when a driver is at fault.
When Other Parties May Be Responsible for an Accident
It is possible for third parties that are not present at an accident to be the cause. A vehicle manufacturer, mechanic, construction team, or government entity may be responsible for motorcycle accidents caused by:
- Poor lighting or poor weather conditions
- Inadequate or missing road signage
- Damaged roadways
- Faulty vehicle maintenance or manufacturing
If you believe another party’s negligence caused your or your loved one’s motorcycle accident, our team wants to hear from you. A representative of our firm is standing by to offer you a free consultation regarding your case.
