Pedestrian Crashes in Ohio

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.

Whether you live in a big city or a rural area, you will occasionally have to share the road with cyclists. Drivers in Ohio have a responsibility to all road users, including cyclists. You have legal rights as a cyclist. That means that if you are hit by a car and are injured, you may be entitled to compensation with the help of a Cleveland personal injury attorney.
