Car Accidents in Ohio 
Injury crashes in Ohio can have devastating effects on the lives of victims. While not all crashes will result in injuries, many of the will. Each year, approximately 60,000 people are injured on our state’s roadways. Many of these victims were innocent motorists who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when a crash occurred. Speeding, negligent driving, distraction, and impairment are among the most common causes of car accidents in Ohio.
When you or a family member have been impacted by a crash, it is important to understand your legal rights. Too often, victims make the mistake of trying to handle their own claims and speaking with the insurance company without having a lawyer to assist them.
