Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio

Each week in Ohio, over 1,400 individuals face injuries from car incidents. While some accidents result in minor cuts and scrapes, many suffer severe injuries like brain or spinal cord trauma, fractures, and other serious wounds that make it hard to work and do daily tasks.
