Cleveland, OH - Pedestrian Dies in Traffic Accident at Storer Ave & 56th St

Pedestrian deaths have reached all-time highs in recent years, according to statistics. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Despite the fact that pedestrians have the same right to the road as everyone else, many drivers fail to keep an eye out for them, resulting in fatal traffic collisions.

Family members are often left in severe pain after a loved one’s life is tragically cut short due to the negligence of another, and recovering can be a difficult battle for those left to pick up the pieces. People are naturally grieving, and filing a lawsuit is usually the last thing on their minds.

In contrast, a wrongful death lawsuit may be able to help your family recover financial compensation as a result of your tragic loss. Working with an attorney can improve your chances of winning your case.
