Distracted Driving Leads To Injuries
Busy intersections and high-traffic areas, such as Sawmill Rd and I-270, are common sites for vehicle accidents. The combination of high speeds, merging lanes, and distracted driving often contributes to collisions in these areas. When accidents occur, victims may face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
In Ohio, injury accidents prompt an immediate response from emergency services, but the recovery process for victims can extend long after the initial incident.
