Car Accidents in Ohio
Car accidents can be extremely challenging to cope with, especially considering that tens of thousands of people across Ohio are injured in vehicle collisions each year. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of accidental injuries in the state, affecting many individuals and families.
One of the most common injuries from car crashes is whiplash. This injury happens when the head and neck snap back and forth quickly due to the impact of the collision. Whiplash can lead to severe neck pain and make it hard to move comfortably. Broken bones are another frequent result of car accidents, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs. The intense force during a collision or being trapped in the vehicle, can easily lead to fractures. In more severe cases, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common and can have life-altering effects on victims, impacting everything from their memory to their ability to perform everyday tasks.
Unfortunately, many accidents in Ohio are caused by drivers who act carelessly or neglect their responsibility to drive safely. Distracted driving is a significant contributor to crashes. This happens when drivers focus on activities other than driving, like texting, talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting music settings. These distractions prevent drivers from keeping their full attention on the road, increasing the risk of serious accidents. Alongside distractions, behaviors like speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and aggressive driving all add to the high number of accidents reported in Ohio every year.
