The Ohio Department of Public Safety recommends avoiding common bicycling mistakes that have the potential to cause serious bicycle accidents and injury to the rider.

Parents should teach these common mistakes to their children, in order to help them prevent Ohio bicycle accidents and remain injury free.

Read Bicycling Mistake #2 that can cause a Swanton, Ohio bicycle accident injury, pushing a high gear, courtesy of the Ohio Department of Public Safety:   

Riding around in tenth gear is another sign of a novice bicyclist. They struggle and strain and wobble down the road.
Use a middle gear for casual riding and try to get your pedal cadence up to 60-80 revolutions per minute. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find this is a lot easier on your knees, too.

Wobbling down the road leaves the rider with the risk of wobbling right into traffic and being struck by a car. Avoid serious Fremont, Ohio bicycle accident injuries by always practicing safe riding techniques.

Even though you buy full coverage auto insurance to protect you and your family in an Ohio car accident doesn’t mean that you will be fully covered.

Our Toledo, Ohio car accident lawyers see cases where an Intrafamily Exclusion is deeply written in an auto policy, which denies coverage if the Ohio car accident is caused by a family member. Many families do not know that their full coverage policy contains this exclusion - even though they pay extra money for what they think is full coverage.

Our Toledo, Ohio car accident lawyers urge drivers to double check with their insurance agents to see if this clause is present in their policy. If it is, make arrangements to change coverages. An Ohio car accident is jut that - an accident. Everyone should be entitled to compensation after an Ohio car accident, regardless of who causes it.

Our Findlay, Ohio motorcycle accident lawyers handle injuries from Ohio motorcycle accidents on a regular basis.

New impact jackets act like airbags for the body when a motorcyclist is ejected from their bike during a motorcycle accident. Just as helmet use is imperative in protecting a rider from injury during an Ohio motorcycle accident, impact jackets are imperative in protecting the body.

During a motorcycle accident, ribs can break and puncture the heart. Impact jackets inflate the moment a rider leaves the bike in a motorcycle accident, proving cushion and a buffer between the rider and the road.

Our Findlay, Ohio fatal bus accident attorneys have seen the devastation that Ohio bus accidents can cause.

The State of Georgia will pay $3 million to the victims in the 2007 Bluffton baseball team fatal bus accident, which is the maximum legal settlement that the state is allowed to pay.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution quotes:

“But state tort law limits the state’s liability to $3 million per occurrence, no matter how many people were hurt, said DOT spokesman David Spear.”

The fatal bus accident took the lives of seven passengers, including five baseball players, the bus driver, and his wife. Twenty eight passengers suffered personal injury as a result of the fatal bus accident.  

According to the Associated Press, it is believed that the bus driver thought that he was continuing onto a HOV, or High Occupancy Vehicle, lane, but drove onto a mismarked exit ramp. The parents of the fatal bus accident victims are asking the government to enforce stricter rules for bus safety, including stronger window glass and roofs, mandatory seatbelts, better driver training, and clearly marked exit signs.
