OVI-Related Crashes in Ohio
Accidents involving impaired driving, also known as OVI crashes, remain a significant concern on Ohio roadways. When a driver operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they put themselves and others at risk of serious injury or death. Failing to stay within the correct lane or losing control of a vehicle are common factors in OVI-related collisions.
In cases where an impaired driver causes a crash, injured victims may have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Ohio follows a fault-based system for car accidents, meaning that the at-fault driver and their insurance provider may be held liable for injuries and damages caused by their negligence.
To prevent these tragic incidents, all drivers should make responsible decisions, never drive under the influence, and remain vigilant on the road. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash due to another driver’s reckless behavior, seeking legal guidance can help protect your rights and ensure you receive the support you need.
