    Accident atty referal

    Sorry to have to post this. I need a recommendation for a motorcycle accident Atty in NE Ohio. Asshole turned left and ran right into me. Thanks in advance.

    Many of us have been there. I hope your injuries were not serious. I would look for an attorney who has handled several motorcycle accident cases or one who rides. It will make a difference in your representation. Sorry, I don’t know any personal injury lawyers in N.E. Ohio. Word of caution: Don’t talk to anyone from the other driver’s insurance company. Good luck.

      Thanks Spag and PaulCDF, two surgeries on broken leg and foot, then broken collar bone, shoulder blade, ribs, and a finger. I ruined a very expensive helmet to save my worthless noggin. Bike will take some work, everything is bent or broken.

        First, I pray you are doing okay, CJ. Second, as Richard said, don't talk to anyone about the accident until you get a lawyer. I had the exact same accident where I was riding on a calm Sunday morning in downtown Orlando and this lady in a big Chrysler made an un-predicted, un-signaled left turn in front of me. . . . I went to the hospital, and my bike went into an old time gas station at the accident site so that made me feel better at the emergency room. My bike did better than your's, CJ. but I wasn't quite as fortunate. Like I said, you are the important component in that conflagration. Your bike can be fixed.

          Wow, you really took a beating, C.J.. Having been through some nasty medical sh!t myself, I have to say that you will be amazed at the healing miracles your anatomy, and immune system will perform. Every day, you will feel a little better so don't let a bad day get you down.

            Thanks exeric, I had my brother recover it from impound as soon as I could. I worried about it until I got it back. The few bikes I have are just riders but I really liked this pile of parts the best. I never thought I'd have to build it again. Thanks for sharing and the advice. Hope you have that pretty Pan back together.

              Sorry to hear about your misfortune CJ. Those T~Bone accidents are the very worst way to end a joyful ride. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Hang in there, and keep your spirits up high, which it sounds like you're already doing. The motorcycle can always be rebuilt!!!

              *Ps. CJ, a lot of AMCA members are from Ohio, someone here should be able to hook You up with competent motorcycle Lawyer.

                First, so sorry. I went through this in October 2024. My bike was utterly destroyed.

                atty - Tim mizny. Not the best, not the nicest, but a solid place to start in ne Ohio. You’ve seen his ads. . .and his firm did come through for folks I know.

                second, stop posting NOW.

                NOTHING about your injuries or the other driver on any social media channel.. Stop talking now. Evetything you post is discoverable and if you post one incorrect detail, it can cost you.

                talk about it when you cash the settlement check.

                if you don’t think your social media won’t be scrutinized, think again.

                    Sound advise from past experiences from our AMCA members CJ. Just a suggestion, but if that is the case, just delete, or reword your posts, and just inquire for a Motorcycle injury Lawyer and leave it at that. Maybe the other members can delete, or modify their posts also?

                      Thanks for the thoughts JoJo357, nothing in the post that is not public record. The medical stuff may be HIPAA protected. I do agree that no more details need to be shared to get a referral for an atty. Anyone? Thanks.

                        There’s national law firms that specialize in motorcycle accidents only and refer to local attorneys that specialize in the same. Worth a google search.

                          Thanks otis71, did that. Looking for a personal recommendation from someone that was pleased with their Atty.

                            Gosh, FNG1,

                            Isn't that a non sequitur?

                            Good luck!
