Injury Pedestrian Accidents in Cincinnati
Recent statistics highlight that pedestrian accidents in Cincinnati remain a critical concern. The City of Cincinnati’s Traffic Engineering Department reports that pedestrian accidents have consistently been among the top traffic-related incidents. In 2023 alone, there were approximately 140 pedestrian accidents, resulting in numerous injuries and several fatalities.

Proving fault in a pedestrian accident case involves careful collection and analysis of evidence, including police reports, eyewitness testimonies, and medical records. An experienced personal injury attorney can assist in this process, helping to establish that the driver’s negligence was the primary cause of the accident and the resulting injuries.
Victims of pedestrian accidents are entitled to seek compensation for various damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, if applicable, property damage. In cases involving severe injury or long-term impacts, additional compensation for future medical care and ongoing rehabilitation may also be pursued.
