Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents in Ohio

Portage County, OH – Three Killed in Car Crash on Peck Rd

Each year, over 75,000 people are injured in automobile accidents throughout the state of Ohio. We often witness the overwhelming consequences that victims in car and truck accidents are forced to endure. Although we can be proactive to protect others while driving on the roadways, there is no guarantee that other motorists are going to take our safety into consideration. In fact, the majority of accidents are caused by the negligent actions of motorists. Unfortunately, not everyone makes it out of vehicle accidents alive.

Every year, more than 1,100 people lose their lives in motor vehicle collisions throughout our state. In some cases, victims are involved in accidents with semi-trucks, trains, and other commercial vehicles. The size and weight of 18-wheelers, combined with traveling at high rates of speed, increase the chances that people involved in collisions with them will be fatally injured. When victims lose their lives in truck accidents, their families are often left with overwhelming pain and suffering. When victims lose their lives in commercial vehicle accidents, their families are often left with overwhelming pain and suffering. In many cases, these accidents force families to spend tens of thousands of dollars on unexpected funeral costs. Although it may seem like no amount of compensation could ever make us whole again after experiencing the loss of a loved one, filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Cleveland helps grieving families collect the compensation they need to cover the costs they face after losing a loved one.
