Cleveland, OH (December 27, 2024) – Emergency crews responded to multiple motor vehicle accidents on Interstate 90 East near Eddy Road late Wednesday evening, December 25, possibly within the Bratenahl area.
The accidents, reported around 9:40 p.m., involved several vehicles and prompted the dispatch of multiple EMS units to the scene. Authorities are investigating the incidents, which appear to include more than one collision along the same stretch of highway. Medics tended to several individuals at the scene, and some were transported to local hospitals for further care. Traffic delays were significant as crews worked to manage the situation. The precise cause of the accidents remains under investigation. More details will be provided as they become available.
We hope the injured victims recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Ohio
Car accidents are a frequent occurrence in Ohio, injuring tens of thousands of innocent people each year. Unfortunately, many of these accidents are preventable. Reckless driving, excessive speeding, failure to yield, and other negligent behaviors are common causes, often resulting in severe injuries such as spinal cord fractures and internal organ damage. For those harmed in such incidents, filing a personal injury claim against the responsible parties can be an important step toward justice and recovery.
Ohio’s legal framework includes the modified comparative negligence doctrine, which can significantly impact personal injury claims. Under this rule, a victim can recover damages as long as they are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, their compensation is reduced by their degree of fault. While this system allows victims to seek justice, it also adds complexity to the legal process. Having an experienced Cleveland car accident lawyer by your side can make a meaningful difference in pursuing your claim, gathering evidence, and ensuring that you receive fair compensation in proportion to your level of responsibility. Acting quickly to secure legal assistance after a car accident is essential for building a strong case and achieving a successful outcome.
