Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio

When pedestrians are involved in a collision with a motor vehicle, they are at a heightened risk of suffering from fatal injuries. National statistics reveal that pedestrians are nearly 1.5 times more likely to be killed in the event of a car accident. There were 5,977 reported pedestrian fatalities across the United States in 2017 alone, with a pedestrian dying every 88 minutes on average. There is little protecting a pedestrian from the full impact of a catastrophic collision. 

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.
