Car Accidents in Ohio 
Traffic accidents in Ohio result in more than 60,000 injuries on an annual basis. The Dayton area has some of the highest numbers in the state when it comes to both the frequency and the severity of reported crashes. There may be several possible reasons for this, including a greater population density and more congested roadways. The main contributing factor to most serious injury accidents, however, is the presence of negligent driving. Drivers who fail to obey traffic and safety laws are very likely to cause an accident that can affect numerous innocent motorists. Some of the most frequent causes of crashes in Ohio include:
- Exceeding the posted speed limit
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield the right of way
Following a crash, victims are likely to have certain questions regarding their legal rights. Fortunately, there may be help available.
