Injury Crashes in Ohio
A car accident in Ohio can take place very suddenly and without warning. Most car accidents in our state happen because of the negligence of at least one person involved in the accident. Last year, over 60,000 motorists and pedestrians were hurt in traffic crashes that occurred in our state. Many of these injured victims were not at fault in the crash. The injuries suffered in a car accident can affect nearly every aspect of your life, including your mental, physical, and financial well-being.
While an Ohio car accident can lead to serious losses, there are also steps that can be taken to mitigate the damage. Under Ohio law, car accident victims can receive compensation under certain circumstances. This compensation includes the right to obtain payment for the following:
