Motor vehicle accidents in Ohio are a frequent occurrence, leading to thousands of injuries each year.

Understanding what to do after an accident can make a big difference in protecting your rights. Below are some important steps victims should consider:
- Seek Medical Attention – Even minor crashes can cause hidden injuries. Getting a full medical evaluation ensures that any injuries are properly documented.
- Report the Accident – A police report is crucial for insurance claims and legal action. Always report the crash and provide accurate details to authorities.
- Document the Scene – Take photos of the vehicles, damages, road conditions, and any visible injuries. This evidence can be valuable in proving fault.
