Motorcycle Accidents


Motorcycle accidents can be life-changing, leaving riders vulnerable to severe injuries, mounting bills, and emotional trauma. At Ciano & Goldwasser, we understand the stakes—and we're here to stand by your side, fight for your rights, and secure the compensation you deserve.

  • You pay nothing unless we obtain a recovery for you—our contingency-fee promise.

  • The Ciano & Goldwasser “No Fee Guarantee.”

  • Free & confidential consultations, available in-person or virtually.

  • Led by Managing Partner Andy Goldwasser, a seasoned trial lawyer and motorcycle enthusiast who truly understands the freedom—and dangers—that come with riding.

  • Serving clients throughout Ohio—with two offices in Cleveland and Beachwood—and across the country.

Why Andy Goldwasser’s Experience Matters

As both a trial lawyer and a motorcycle rider, Andy Goldwasser knows firsthand the unique challenges motorcyclists face on Ohio roads: careless drivers who “don’t see motorcycles,” unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, and road hazards that may be inconvenient for a car but catastrophic for a rider.

This dual perspective means Andy doesn’t just represent motorcyclists—he identifies with them. He understands the culture of riding, the risks you accept every time you get on your bike, and how devastating it is when another driver’s negligence turns that freedom into tragedy.

When you choose Ciano & Goldwasser, you’re working with a lawyer who rides, who gets it, and who will fight relentlessly for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free and confidential consultations to determine if I have a case?
Yes—every consultation is free and confidential. We'll review your situation, outline potential next steps, and answer your questions.

Would I benefit from having a lawyer represent me?
Absolutely. Insurance companies often undervalue or deny claims, especially for motorcyclists. Our attorneys build stronger cases, pressure insurers, and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

How much does it cost to hire Ciano & Goldwasser?
With our No Fee Guarantee, you pay nothing unless we obtain a recovery for you. There are no upfront costs—ever.

How long will my case take?
It depends on factors like your medical treatment, injury severity, and whether litigation is needed. We'll keep you informed at every stage and work toward a timely, favorable resolution.

Will you help me navigate the payment of my medical bills?
Yes. We assist with coordinating benefits, negotiating liens, and managing billing so you focus on healing—not paperwork.

Do I have to repay my health insurance company?
Sometimes, health insurers or government programs like Medicare have reimbursement rights. We'll review your coverage, negotiate liens, and work to minimize any repayment obligation.
