Deadly Hit-&-Run Accidents in Ohio

Hit-and-run collisions are extremely traumatic and dangerous accidents that can leave victims unable to obtain necessary medical treatment. It is illegal to flee the scene of a crash in Ohio, but despite this, many drivers still choose to leave the site of a collision. Hit-and-run accidents have been rising steadily over the years, with an estimated 682,000 hit-and-run collisions taking place annually since 2006. The vast majority of hit-and-run fatalities involve pedestrians or cyclists. 

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.
