Pedestrian Crash in Ohio

Cleveland, OH - Man Hurt in Pedestrian Accident at 93rd St & Nelson Ave

The risk of death in a collision is 1.5 times higher for pedestrians, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Pedestrians are less protected in the event of a collision, which increases their risk of dying in an accident. Every 88 minutes on average, a pedestrian was killed in a car collision in 2017, accounting for 5,977 fatalities nationwide.

You will occasionally have to share the road with pedestrians wherever you reside. In Ohio, drivers have a responsibility to all other road users, including pedestrians. Since pedestrians are protected by the law, many residents of the state prefer to walk to restaurants, jog, or simply take in the scenery. So, if you are hurt in a car accident, you could be entitled to compensation with the aid of an experienced attorney.

Consult a lawyer as soon as you can if you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident. You must begin working on your claim as soon as possible to increase your chances of being awarded the entire amount. To make a compelling argument, the attorneys at Joseph Law Group will review copies of your medical records, accident reports, and other supporting documentation. Our attorneys have helped several pedestrian accident victims obtain the compensation they are entitled to after suffering injuries in an accident, and we will fight tooth and nail to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
