Auto Accidents in Ohio
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident has the potential to change your life forever. Unfortunately, we see thousands of people left with significant injuries as a result of accidents that take place here in Ohio every year. The majority of these accidents involve some form of negligence. Leading factors include:
- Unfamiliar Roadways: When motorists are not familiar with the area they are traveling in, they are at an increased risk of entering onto roadways in the wrong direction and causing crashes.
- Distractions: When drivers do not have their full attention on the road ahead, they may not see vehicles, pedestrians, and even signs that could prevent an accident.
- Impairment: Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are more likely to lose control of their vehicle and strike others.
Unfortunately, there are various acts of negligence that continue to contribute to the significant number of motor vehicle collisions that occur on our roads. Victims who are involved in these crashes are likely to suffer severe injuries that impact their lives forever.
