Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio

Lakewood, OH – Rukia Isis Killed in Pedestrian Accident on Cove Ave

Regardless of the number of safety measures implemented throughout Ohio, we continue to see thousands of people injured on our roadways. Many accidents involve pedestrians traveling along our roads while outside of vehicles. Pedestrian accidents are particularly catastrophic due to the fact that they are unprotected against the force of speeding vehicles weighing several thousands of pounds. Although we want to believe that everyone will overcome their injuries from accidents, this is not always true.

Each year, pedestrian accidents throughout Ohio claim the lives of more than 150 people. These accidents leave families throughout our state with overwhelming pain and suffering. There are far fewer things in life that are worse than experiencing the sudden and unexpected loss of our loved ones. Not only are families forced to grieve from these senseless events, but they are often forced to cover tens of thousands of dollars in costs related to funeral and burial arrangements, medical treatment, and more. In some cases, families can work with a wrongful death attorney in Cleveland to obtain compensation for their tragic loss.

Although there is truly no amount of compensation that could ever replace our loved ones and make us whole again, having the financial resources necessary to cover resulting financial burdens can make the process of moving forward less stressful for surviving relatives.
