Intersection Collisions in Ohio
Intersection collisions are among the most dangerous on the road, accounting for more than half of all serious injuries and a quarter of all fatalities. Almost all intersection collisions involve left-hand turns and failure to yield the right of way. According to the Federal Highway Administration, almost 2.5 million car crashes take place at intersections each year, accounting for nearly 40% of all recorded car accidents nationwide.
Car accident victims frequently struggle to understand their rights in time to protect themselves following an accident. The moments immediately following a collision are crucial in securing your claim for compensation. Most people do not have a thorough understanding of state laws, insurance policies, or what to do if they are injured in a car accident, and this can be a stumbling block when pursuing your claim for compensation. Fortunately, you do not have to pursue a personal injury claim on your own, and hiring an attorney with experience can improve your chances of recovering lost compensation. An experienced Columbia Township personal injury lawyer can assist you in filing a claim and recovering damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
