Lakewood E-Bike And Pedestrian Crosswalk Accident Lawyer
Ohio traffic rules in newly altered street zones create tough legal disputes after e-bike and pedestrian crosswalk accidents. The right-of-way rules depend on where the collision occurred and how each person was moving.
The Keefe Law Firm, LLC, has practiced law since 1996. With a limited caseload, an AV Preeminent peer-review rating* and selection to the Super Lawyers list to fight for victims across Lakewood and Cleveland, we take the time to know our clients, investigate what happened and build the strongest case possible.
When A Green Bike Lane Or Crosswalk Collision Is Not As Simple As It Looks
Lakewood’s changing streets can create questions about who had the right-of-way. A driver may turn across an e-bike lane. A pedestrian may be crossing a marked crosswalk. Signs, signals, lane markings and the position of each person can all matter.
Ohio law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians crossing within a crosswalk in circumstances set out by statute. It also says that a driver still has a duty to exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian.
Our Lakewood green bike lane crash attorney focuses on the details because serious injuries deserve serious attention.
Defeating Comparative Fault Defenses In Catastrophic Injury Claims
Ohio’s right-of-way rules do not automatically answer every personal injury claim. The facts still need to be developed.
However, insurance companies actively use Ohio’s modified comparative negligence rules to shift blame onto injured victims. They claim you stepped out too fast or rode outside the lane lines to reduce your payout. Our traffic calming zone accident attorney pushes back aggressively against these corporate tactics to defend your recovery.
Our pedestrian right-of-way accident lawyer in Lakewood also digs deep to secure full justice for life-altering harm like a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from e-bike crash incidents, spinal damage or wrongful death.
