Ohio Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Helping Me, That's HNB
How Bicycle Auto Accidents Happen
So many drivers don’t respect bicyclists. If someone in a car or truck ignores you and your bike to the point that you get hurt, you can pursue financial support for your recovery.
With a personal injury claim against the vehicle driver who hurt you while riding, you can secure:
- Reimbursement for medical costs
- Payment for lost wages from work you missed due to the accident
- Compensation for the pain and suffering this event put you through
- Payment for damage to your property, including your bike and personal items
You could face resistance if the insurance company for the driver refuses to pay, or if the driver and their insurance argue you were at full or partial fault in the accident.
The Ohio bicycle accident lawyers at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) know what to do.
Our bike accident attorneys work out of Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland and serve people all over Ohio. We’ve helped thousands of people for over 40 years.
Ohio cyclists who get bullied and hurt on the road come to us: “Helping me, that’s HNB.”
These are some special hazards that contribute to bicycle-versus-auto accidents:
- “Dooring,” when someone opens a car door right as you pass
- Hit by a car backing out of a driveway or parking space
- Hit on purpose by an angry driver having a road rage episode
- Sideswiped by a driver who didn’t see you on the shoulder
- Struck by a car making a sharp turn in front of you
Bicyclists also can be victims of the same reckless driving that causes crashes between cars:
- Changing lanes without looking
- Driving aggressively
- Driving drunk or otherwise impaired
- Failing to stop in time to prevent a rear-end collision
- Getting distracted
- Hit-and-run collisions
- Running stop lights and signs
- Speeding
If you ran into these or any other negligent behavior by car or truck drivers, the Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal bicycle accident attorneys can look at your case and determine what it will take to get you paid for this injury and interruption to your life.
It’s always free to have an initial conversation with us.

Your Next Steps with a Bicycle Accident Attorney
Of course, after any injury, you should always get the medical attention you need first.
Call the police so they will make an official report that you will need later. If you can, take photos of the scene, your injuries, your damaged bike, the car and road conditions. Get contact information for witnesses.
When your medical situation is stable, call a bike accident attorney. Then your lawyer will build your case by:
- Gathering the police reports
- Collecting evidence from the accident scene
- Interviewing witnesses
- Tracking down security camera or other video of the accident if possible
- Establishing the negligence of the driver
- Negotiating with the driver’s insurance company
- Taking your case to court if the driver and their insurance won’t agree to a fair settlement
- Collecting evidence from the accident scene
Bike riders have the same protections in the law as car drivers, even if some people don’t act like it.
