Motorcycle Accidents in Ohio
According to data from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, there were nearly 20,000 motorcycle crashes reported in our state between 2019 and 2023. These accidents led to more than 1,000 fatalities and thousands of injuries. Motorcycle crashes tend to be among the most serious types of accidents that occur on our local streets and highways. The reasons for this are fairly obvious, as motorcyclists have no protection from the force and impact of a crash, and victims can suffer head injuries, broken bones, neck and spinal cord trauma, and even death as a result of a motorcycle crash.
Many motorcycle accidents in Ohio are caused by careless and reckless drivers of other vehicles. These drivers may fail to follow traffic and safety laws and take actions that endanger others on the road. Some examples of negligent driving behavior include speeding, impairment, distraction, and failure to see or yield to motorcycles. All of these actions frequently occur and lead to serious injuries or even fatalities for motorcycle riders.
