Summer vacations can look quite a bit different for families this year. For instance, instead of flying somewhere, you may be packing up the car and taking a road trip.
Road trips can be fun and allow families to spend a lot of time together. However, there are some risks, including the risk of getting into a car accident. To minimize the chances of a crash, you can take some precautions before and throughout your trip.
It's not exactly rocket science.
Brian Neff has a long pedigree as a motorcyclist. The Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper got his license to ride years ago almost immediately after receiving his passenger-vehicle license.
He has since given it up.
Dogs are often friendly, loyal and happy family pets. However, even the best of dogs can bite and, unfortunately, not all dogs are “the best of dogs.” Whether a dog bite is from a friendly pet that had a bad moment or from an animal that always seemed dangerous, it is important to have a basic understanding of the steps to take if injured from a dog bite.
The term “wrongful death” in a legal sense refers to the loss of a loved one – a parent, spouse or child – that is linked with third-party culpability.
That means this: The careless act or omission of another person or multiple parties was a direct catalyst promoting loss of life.
Ohio drivers and pedestrians are intimately familiar with a reality that plays out annually across the state during the spring and summer months.
It’s marked by frenetic activity and multiple moving parts, and it requires due attention from every person in close proximity.
Modern life is complex and fast-paced. People confront various risks and challenges as they go about their daily activities.
Routine interactions relating to matters ranging from driving and workplace duties to shopping, social functions and additional undertakings seldom breed downsides, of course. They simply spell common events in everyday life.
They’re just not the same.
An auto accident involving passenger vehicles is one thing.
Pedestrian accidents can be catastrophic. The basic physics behind an accident that involves an individual who is out on a walk and a driver behind the wheel of a vehicle can translate to tragic results for the pedestrian.
A recent case provides an example.
Few people may realize that the Greater Cincinnati region has over 50 of the top 350 sites in the state for the most collisions as per state Department of Transportation (DOT) statistics from 2013.
In fact, the most accident-prone spot in our region happens to be Route 126 eastbound at Interstate 71. That section of highway has the highest average number of annual collisions - 666. But that is not even the deadliest area in and around Cincinnati, as the junction of I-71 north with Pfeiffer Road has that dubious distinction with an average of over 208 deaths and injuries from auto accidents.
