The Streets Weren’t Built Equal

Here’s the hard truth about pedestrian and bicycle accidents — when something goes wrong, the person outside the vehicle always loses. A car traveling at even moderate speed carries enough force to cause catastrophic, life-altering harm to someone with no protection around them. Being thrown to the pavement, pinned under a vehicle, or pushed into oncoming traffic are not rare outcomes. They happen every day on roads across the Miami Valley.

What makes these cases particularly frustrating is that most of them are entirely preventable. Crosswalks exist for a reason. Yield laws exist for a reason. Ohio even requires drivers to give cyclists a minimum of three feet of clearance when passing — a rule that gets ignored constantly.

The crashes we handle most often in the Dayton area come from:

• Distracted drivers — eyes on a phone instead of the road at a crosswalk or intersection
• Speeding or failure to yield to pedestrians and cyclists with the right of way
• Running red lights or blowing through stop signs
• Impaired driving — alcohol or drugs slowing reaction time when it matters most
• Unsafe turns or lane changes that cut off cyclists without warning
• Drivers backing out of driveways or parking spaces without checking behind them
• Vehicles drifting too close to bike lanes, sidewalks, or road shoulders

Any one of these can turn an ordinary afternoon into a life-changing emergency.

We Take These Cases Personally

At Savory Bartlett Legal Group, LLC, we understand that behind every one of these cases is a person whose normal life got interrupted by someone else’s carelessness. Someone who was just trying to get somewhere. We take that seriously.

We investigate thoroughly, work with accident reconstruction experts when needed, and build cases that account for the full picture — not just the immediate medical bills, but lost income, long-term treatment, pain and suffering, and everything else your injuries have cost you.
