Car Accidents in Ohio
Every month, thousands of individuals in Ohio experience injuries due to car accidents. It’s a harsh reality that many of these accidents could have been prevented. Across the United States, over a million injuries annually are attributed to causes like speeding, not yielding, and drivers being distracted. Many more people suffer severe harm because of other reckless behaviors by drivers on the road.
In the Cleveland Metropolitan area, there has been a disturbing rise in motor vehicle accidents in recent years. Several factors contribute to the occurrence of these accidents. A significant issue is the distraction caused by cell phones and even eating while driving. Impairment from alcohol or drugs, failure to yield to right-of-way, and other careless actions are also major contributors to the accidents we’re seeing in our community.
