Car Accidents in Ohio
Motor vehicle crashes in Ohio contribute to thousands of injuries every year. According to state data, there were over 290,000 traffic crashes in a recent year, with more than 100,000 resulting in injuries. Many of these incidents involve driver error, impaired driving, or hazardous road conditions.
Understanding what to do after an accident can be overwhelming. Below are some common causes of crashes in Ohio:
- Distracted Driving – Many accidents occur due to drivers using phones, adjusting in-car settings, or engaging in other distractions. Even a few seconds of inattention can lead to serious crashes.
- Speeding – Driving over the speed limit or too fast for conditions reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. Speed-related crashes often lead to catastrophic injuries.
- Failure to Yield – Intersections are a hotspot for collisions when drivers fail to yield properly. Misjudging another vehicle’s speed or ignoring traffic signals often results in side-impact crashes.
- Weather Conditions – Ohio’s winters bring snow and ice, while heavy rain can also create hazardous conditions. Reduced visibility and slippery roads contribute to many accidents each year.
