Motorcycle Accidents in Ohio

Last year, more than 2,900 injuries and 175 fatalities occurred as a result of Ohio motorcycle collisions. Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to being injured or killed due to the fact that they have almost no protection from the force and impact of a crash. While riders should always wear protective gear, such as gloves and helmets, a collision can lead to major injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, paralysis, and death.
