Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio
Pedestrian accidents are the cause of thousands of injuries across Ohio every year. Unfortunately, these victims are more likely to suffer severe injuries due to the fact that they have no protection.
As you can imagine, pedestrians are susceptible to substantial head trauma resulting from accidents, as their heads may be impacted by vehicles or collide with hard objects such as the road or surrounding structures. Pedestrians also commonly suffer significant bone fractures in collisions, often requiring casting and, in severe instances, surgical intervention for recovery.
In addition, it is common for victims of pedestrian crashes to suffer internal organ damage, spinal cord injuries, and severe cuts or lacerations. Unfortunately, any form of injury can demand extensive medical attention, potentially causing victims to be absent from work for weeks or even months.
In the aftermath of an accident, it is imperative for the injured parties to seek the assistance of a Cleveland pedestrian accident attorney. Following a motor vehicle accident, victims may have the opportunity to pursue personal injury claims to seek compensation for the losses and damages incurred.
