Car Accidents in Ohio
Car accidents in Ohio take place very suddenly and unexpectedly. One minute you may be driving down the road minding your own business and the next you can be the victim of an injury accident. More than 60,000 people are hurt annually in Ohio car accidents and many of these victims are injured in accidents that were not their fault. Due to the prevalence of negligent drivers on Ohio’s roadways, it is not uncommon for innocent motorists to sustain injuries.
Victims who have been hurt in car accidents that were not their fault may have certain legal rights and options. Under Ohio law, motorists can seek compensation for the following types of damages:
- Lost wages
- Medical and prescription costs
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages in some cases
