Deadly Head-On Accidents in Ohio

Head-on crashes are some of the most deadly types of collisions possible. According to recent reports, head-on accidents have a nearly 58% fatality rate. While only making up around 2% of reported crashes, head-on crashes are involved in nearly 10% of deadly car accidents reported annually. Even at low speeds, head-on collisions can be deadly, and they are often caused by reckless or inattentive drivers who fail to follow the rules of the road. 

The preventable death of a loved one can be a shattering and entirely traumatic experience for surviving family members, and no amount of compensation can ever make up for the death of a loved one. Ohio wrongful death suits can be raised from careless acts, including a car crash, resulting in the death of a family member, in order to recover lost compensation for a representative of the deceased. Surviving family members should consult with an Ohio wrongful death lawyer who can help guide them through the process and construct a strong legal claim after the loss of a family member of a deadly accident.
