Fatal Car Accidents in Ohio 
According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, more than 1,100 people on average are killed in Ohio traffic accidents each year. A substantial portion of these victims are affected by the actions of negligent drivers and are involved in accidents that are not their fault. A number of potential factors can cause a crash to occur. Most often, however, the collision takes place because of driver negligence. Some of the most common examples of negligence are:
- Exceeding the speed limit
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Impaired driving or OVI
- Vehicle or equipment malfunction
- Poor weather or roadway conditions
The cause of each Ohio car accident must be carefully investigated by police. Following the investigation, the negligent party can be charged with a crime for their involvement in the crash. Additionally, under Ohio law, a negligent driver can be held liable in a civil case. This includes personal injury lawsuits that are filed on behalf of injured victims. The law in Ohio can provide relief for these victims in certain situations.
