Car Accidents in Ohio
Car accidents occur in Ohio hundreds of times daily. Our state has an elaborate system of interstate highways and congested urban traffic in some areas, making it a dangerous place for motorists. Even in less-traveled areas, accidents still frequently occur. No motorist is ever truly immune from the possibility of a major collision. Due to negligent and careless drivers, these accidents can take place anywhere at any time.
Car accidents in Ohio can be caused by numerous types of negligent driving, including:
