The Ohio Motorcycle Accident Lawyers with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy explain that each year, thousands of motorcycle riders are injured or killed as a result of accidents along the highway. One of the leading contributing factors to these crashes is lack of experience.
Data from the Office of Criminal Justice Services states that 92 percent of motorcyclists involved in collisions taught themselves how to ride a motorized bike or were taught by friends or family members. A large portion of these riders did not have a proper endorsement on their licenses to operate motorcycles.
To help reduce the number of motorcycle crashes, the state offers several safety and training courses where novice riders can gain the experience and knowledge they need to stay safe on the road. According to an article released by the Springfield News-Sun, these courses are now being offered across Clark County for the first time ever. The program launched on Sept. 18 and will be offered three more times through the fall season.
The courses are 16 hours long and occur during sessions scheduled on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy’s team of Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers is aware of the ways these training sessions can significantly decrease accidents, and they encourage riders of all experience levels to participate.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
