Ohio Auto Accident Law Overview

A serious auto accident is a traumatic experience.  Nobody wants to imagine being involved in an auto accident.  However, over 20 million auto accidents occur in the United States every year.  

According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Ohio's 10-year motor vehicle crash average is  386,257 per year.  The most recent data on Ohio motor vehicle acidents indicate that there were 1,227 fatal Ohio accidents and 131,245 non-fatal injury accidents.

In Ohio, approximately 360 motorists are injured every day and 3.6 drivers or passengers are killed each day. 

Even the best drivers cannot always avoid the negligent actions of others.  That is why you need to be prepared to take the necessary steps to protect yourself in the event of an auto accident.  

If you are in an accident and have questions about your legal rights, contact a dedicated auto accident attorney before you talk with the insurance company of the person at fault.  Signing the wrong papers could mean you have settled for less than you deserve.

For the thousands of Ohio auto accident victims, the actual accident is only the beginning of the physical and emotional hardships that they experience.  However, the time for an adult or child to take action to preserve their legal rights usually starts to run from the day of the collision.

It is not unusual for an auto accident victim who is struggling to deal with the effects of a disabling injury, to forget that time is running out to take the steps necessary to secure benefits.
