🚦 Myth or Fact?
Do cyclists really have the same rights as drivers in Ohio?

✅ Fact: Under Ohio law, bicycles are considered vehicles. That means cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers when using the road.

Here’s what that means for riders:
🚲 You have the right to use most public roads (except some highways).
🚗 Drivers must give you at least 3 feet of clearance when passing.
⚠️ You must obey traffic signals, signs, and lane rules—just like any other vehicle.

Why it matters:
Many accidents happen because drivers or cyclists aren’t aware of these shared rights and responsibilities. Knowing the law helps keep everyone safer on Cincinnati’s streets.

At Carville Legal Counsel, LLC, we’re proud to stand up for Ohio cyclists — protecting their rights and helping them get justice after accidents.

A bicycle accident can be overwhelming — even for the most experienced riders. 🚲💥 Knowing what to do in the moment can make all the difference for your safety and your rights.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide every Cincinnati cyclist should know 👇

1️⃣ Get to Safety
Move out of traffic if possible, and check yourself for injuries. Call 911 immediately if you or anyone else is hurt.

2️⃣ Call the Police
Even if the accident seems minor, file a police report. This creates a crucial record of the incident.

3️⃣ Gather Evidence
Take photos of the scene, your bike, the vehicle, and any injuries. Get witness names and contact info if possible.

4️⃣ Avoid Negotiating on the Spot
Don’t discuss fault or accept any informal agreements. Let the investigation — and your attorney — handle that part.

5️⃣ Get Medical Attention
Some injuries take time to appear. A medical record is essential for your health and your case.

6️⃣ Contact a Bicycle Accident Attorney
At Carville Legal Counsel, LLC, we help cyclists in Cincinnati navigate the legal process and recover what they’re owed. We’re here to protect your rights — so you can focus on healing and getting back on the road.
