What are the Most Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents, Injuries, and Fatalities in Dublin, Ohio?

Bicycle accidents and injuries in Ohio can occur for many reasons, most of which can be attributed to the negligence of motorists driving alongside vulnerable riders.
General driver hostilities can result in near misses and toppled riders abandoned by those who caused their incidents and injuries without contact.
However, most bicycle accidents, injuries, and fatalities in Ohio are caused by:
  • Distracted Driving: Drivers distracted by texting, talking on the phone, adjusting in-car entertainment systems, and general inattentiveness may fail to notice cyclists on the road.
  • Failure to Yield: Drivers may not yield the right of way to cyclists at intersections, crosswalks, or when making turns, leading to collisions.
  • Doorings: Parked car occupants may open doors without checking for oncoming cyclists, resulting in cyclists colliding with the vehicle.
  • Unsafe Overtaking: Drivers attempting to pass cyclists without providing sufficient space or misjudging the distance can lead to accidents.
  • Right Turns: A common scenario occurs when a car makes a right turn without noticing or yielding to a cyclist traveling in the same direction, leading to a collision.
  • Left Turns: Accidents can happen when a car makes a left turn in front of an oncoming cyclist, especially at intersections.
  • Speeding: Drivers traveling at excessive speeds may have reduced reaction time and increased stopping distances, making it more difficult to avoid collisions with cyclists.
  • Impaired Driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs can impair a driver’s judgment and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents involving cyclists.
  • Lack of Visibility: Poor visibility due to low light conditions, bad weather, or obscured road signage can contribute to accidents between cars and bicycles.
  • Negligent Lane Changes: Drivers changing lanes without checking blind spots or signaling properly may collide with cyclists in adjacent lanes.
Each of these crashes can lead to devastating injuries to cyclists throughout Ohio, including, but not limited to:
