Pedestrian accidents in Ohio do not take place as often as accidents involving cars and other motor vehicles. However, a pedestrian crash has the potential to be very serious and even deadly. Pedestrians do not have the same protection as other motorists and have approximately an 80% chance of being hospitalized when they are struck by a vehicle. Some common injuries suffered in Ohio pedestrian accidents include broken bones, head trauma, soft tissue injuries, and neck and spinal cord trauma. The injuries caused by an Ohio pedestrian crash can lead to significant medical expenses and tremendous physical pain and suffering.
