Cases involving serious or long-term injuries often take longer because it is important to understand the full extent of your damages before accepting any offer.

It is important to understand that adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that can be used to minimize your claim. You should avoid admitting any fault, downplaying your injuries, or agreeing to a quick settlement before understanding the full extent of your damages.

Ohio law only requires helmets for riders under the age of 18 and those with a novice license. Adult riders are not legally required to wear one. An insurance company may attempt to use your choice not to wear a helmet as a reason to reduce your compensation under Ohio's comparative negligence rules, but it does not eliminate your right to hold the at-fault driver accountable.
