The Law Offices of Ralph Buss was one of the first law firms in the country to recognize the need of motorcyclists to have not only a strong legal advocate but also knowledge of their legal rights and rapid access to emergency information when an accident occurs. That’s why we became a partner in the Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) program over 20 years ago, and we travel thousands of miles every year to motorcycle events, swap meets and bike shows to make A.I.M. available to motorcycle riders in Ohio and West Virginia.

Membership in A.I.M. is free, and assistance is accessible 24/7 through a toll free 1-(800) ON-A-BIKE (662-2453) phone number. Whether you need legal advice, criminal representation, break down assistance or if you’ve been involved in an accident, help is just a phone call away.

Here’s what your FREE A.I.M. membership provides:

AID TO INJURED MOTORCYCLISTS

MEMBER BENEFITS AND SERVICES

Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) is a nationwide legal services program with affiliated law offices in every state and Canadian Province to serve the legal needs of the motorcycling community.  A.I.M. is dedicated to informing all motorcyclists of their legal rights and to help protect and enforce those rights.
 
TOTALLY FREE

A.I.M. is 100% free to all motorcyclists, and there are currently over 2 MILLION A.I.M. members throughout North America.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

This program is sponsored by the Law Offices of Richard M. Lester and is supported by local A.I.M. Attorneys throughout the US and Canada, and is designed to give more complete medical and legal protection to motorcyclists when involved in an accident. 

If you have an accident, your A.I.M. ID card instructs emergency medical personnel to call the toll free 1-(800) ON-A-BIKE Emergency Hotline and the 24-hour A.I.M. operator will relay your critical medical information and will then immediately notify the emergency contact listed on your membership form.

An A.I.M. Attorney from your local area will be available to provide a free legal consultation regarding your accident.  However, being an A.I.M. member does not obligate you to use any of the A.I.M. attorneys.

A.I.M. ALSO PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING FREE SERVICES

·         Lifetime emergency membership I.D. card

·         24-hour hotline for all emergency medical personnel

·         Emergency accident notification for your family

·         24-hour free legal consultation for all accidents throughout North America

·         Immediate investigation of all accidents

·         24-hour criminal defense phone consultation

·         KeyFinder key fob helps get lost keys returned to their owner

A.I.M. PROGRAM BENEFITS

A.I.M. is completely financed by the nationwide A.I.M. Attorney Association, and there is absolutely no charge to the participating motorcyclists.  The A.I.M. program provides the following benefits: 

·         Consumer Protection - making roads safe for motorcyclists; 

·         Road Hazard - To correct hazardous road conditions or to create liability if not repaired;

·         Get Your Rocks Off ... Our Roads - To enforce existing laws regarding covered loads on trucks;

·          Independent Shop Program - To include shops and dealerships in the grass roots fight for motorcycle rights;

·         LOOK Posters, sent to all hospitals and ambulance services to notify emergency personnel to look for an A.I.M. card is a downed biker's wallet and to call for important medical information and an emergency contact;

·         Education - informing the general public of the problems of motorcyclists and continuing the “Know Your Rights” talks to keep riders abreast of their rights on the road, and thus be able to protect them.

A.I.M. IS ENDORSED BY THE NATIONAL COALITION OF MOTORCYCLISTS

In addition to providing medical protection and a legal resource, A.I.M. is also the sole financial sponsor of the National Coalition of Motorcyclists.  The A.I.M. attorney legal fees (a percentage of your damages only if there is a recovery), are equal and in some cases, lower than other attorneys.  These fees are in part, donated back to finance N.C.O.M.  

OTHER MOTORCYCLE GROUPS THAT SUPPORT A.I.M.

A list of over 1,000 NCOM member groups, including Motorcyclists Rights Organizations in 37 states and all 53 Confederations of Clubs in North America, can be found on at www.ON-A-BIKE.com.  Please feel free to call and ask them how well it works!
