- Deadline: an Ohio motorcycle accident lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10).
- Ohio requires helmets only for riders under 18 and first-year license holders — and not wearing one does not bar an injury claim.
- Comparative fault: insurers lean on anti-rider bias to shift blame; recovery is only barred if you are more than 50% at fault (Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.33).
- Motorcyclists have the same right to the road as every other Ohio driver.
- Cost: no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
