Car Accidents in Ohio
Each year, more than 60,000 injury accidents take place in Ohio. The victims of these crashes tend to be innocent drivers and passengers who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Negligent driving accounts for more than 80% of crashes in our state. Some common forms of negligent driving include:
- Speeding
- Impairment
- Distraction
- Failure to yield the right of way
The cause of every Ohio car accident must be carefully investigated in order to determine who should be held legally responsible. Following an investigation, police may issue a charge or a citation to the responsible driver. The citation can be used as some evidence of negligence in a future legal claim. Under Ohio law, victims could be entitled to compensation if they can show that the other driver at least partially caused the accident. The nature and extent of compensation available can only be determined after consultation with a skilled Ohio car accident attorney.
