Considerations for proving a drunk driving negligence case
One of the most pernicious effects of drunk driving on Ohio roads and highways is the destruction that drunk drivers inflict in the form of property damage and wrecked lives of those with whom they collide.

A trip to the doctor in Columbus, Ohio, can be filled with anxiety if you are sick or injured. First, you feel terrible, and you probably fear what the diagnosis will be.

Can an Ohio bar owner be sued by someone hit by a drunk driver?

Depending upon the circumstances and facts surrounding an accident, liability might also exist on the part of the person who sold the alcohol to the drunk driver under Ohio dram shop laws. Dram shop laws get their name from shops that sold gin for the consumption of their patrons in England during the 1700s.
