Preventable Tragedies on Ohio Roads

In the 2017 report, Ohio witnessed over 1,000 traffic fatalities and nearly 19,000 injuries due to vehicle crashes. Although not all crashes result in fatalities or injuries, impaired drivers pose a significant threat to everyone on the road. State highway patrol statistics reveal that 405 of these fatalities were due to “operating a vehicle impaired” (OVI). This alarming number underscores the deadly consequences of impaired driving.

Impaired drivers often travel at excessive speeds and fail to slow down before impacts, leading to severe injuries, including:

These injuries necessitate immediate emergency medical attention, and many require multiple surgeries and extended rehabilitation. Victims often face enormous medical bills and hidden costs that can lead to financial hardship.

The Hidden Costs of DUI-Related Crashes

The aftermath of an OVI-related crash extends beyond immediate medical expenses. Victims may also incur costs for:

  • Medical equipment
  • Home or vehicle accommodations
  • Lost wages due to inability to work
  • Emotional and psychological damages

For those left permanently disabled, the true cost is immeasurable. Unfortunately, insurance companies often overlook these extensive costs when determining settlements, placing a significant burden on the victims.
