Too often, motorcycle accidents are the result of a bike being struck by another vehicle. One of the most common reasons given for such accidents is that the driver responsible for causing the crash simply did not see the motorcycle.
The Ohio Motorcycle Accident Lawyers with the law firm of Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy explain this was the cause of a recent collision that left two people seriously injured. Reports indicate the crash happened this past Saturday evening on U.S. Highway 35, outside of New Jasper Township.
According to an article from WDTN 2 News, the victims were riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle along the highway to go get coffee. On their way, the motorcycle was struck from behind by an Ohio State Highway Patrolman’s vehicle.
The impact of the collision caused the driver of the motorcycle to lose control and veer off the road, which threw both occupants from the machine. The motorcycle’s operator suffered a broken foot and other injuries that required hospitalization. The passenger on the motorcycle was also injured, but was treated and released. Both victims were wearing helmets at the time of the crash.
The firm’s team of Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers says the crash highlights the need for motorists to be more vigilant of motorcycles on the highway. This means staying focused on the road and looking twice before moving in traffic.

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 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 […]
