Ohio drivers are keenly aware of the dangers that are inherent on the road, particularly in today's world with the number of people who are texting and driving. However, it is not simply the matter of using a smartphone or other device that is resulting in a car crash. New versions of old items can cause a danger as well. An example is headphones. A large number of people are using these items - many of them wireless with advanced sound capabilities - while behind the wheel of their car.
Drugs believed to have been a factor in auto accident
The risk of a Cincinnati driver under the influence causing an auto accident is significant. It can lead to a person being severely hurt and worse. While many of these crashes are automatically thought to be alcohol-related, drugs are also a problem that is growing in frequency. A car accident victim can be a pedestrian, a bicyclist or another driver. After an accident, it is important that a full investigation be conducted to determine if alcohol or drugs were a factor so the victim can use it as evidence if he or she would like to seek compensation in a legal filing.
