Cincinnati Car Accident Statistics

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 by Edward Cohen

Disorientation. Fear. Panic. These are some of the things you may experience in a car accident. Many people do not realize that driving is an extremely dangerous activity. In fact, it is likely the most dangerous activity you will ever experience in your life. In 2010 alone, there were 300,164 car accidents in Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, there were 32,787 accidents in December, the highest in any month. Almost 88,000 crashes involved SUVs, while almost 83,000 accidents involved trucks. More than 1,100 accidents involved public transportation vehicles, and only 4,559 accidents involved motorcycles.

Driving is dangerous enough without the use of alcohol. People who drink and drive endanger their lives and the lives of everyone around them. Alcohol slows reaction time and causes drivers to make irrational decisions. In 2010, there were 13,007 alcohol-related accidents. The driver was impaired in 12,904 of these crashes. Additionally, statistics show that in Ohio, 73.4 percent of all drivers involved in alcohol-related accidents were male.

Sadly, many of people involved in these crashes never contacted Cincinnati car accident attorneys and therefore were unable to obtain just compensation. If you are injured in an accident in Cincinnati, you must seek legal aid. The right team of lawyers can provide you with trustworthy assistance so you can move on with your life.
