Cars have become necessary to America's way of life in most places. Ohio is certainly one of them. An increased number of vehicles on the roads has lead to an increase in the likelihood of being involved in a car accident. Car safety features, traffic laws, and traffic signs and signals are all part of an effort to protect drivers from serious injury. Failing to make use of safety features or obey traffic laws can lead to tragedy.
Failure to obtain consent can result in medical malpractice
Surgery is never an easy or pleasant experience to contemplate. When a child faces surgery it can be a particularly stressful and difficult time for the child's family. The family wants to believe they are doing the best for the child and typically place their trust and confidence in the surgeon. If a procedure goes awry, it can result in a medical malpractice lawsuit in Ohio.
Maintain safe following distance and reduce chance of car crash
Ohio highways are crowded with holiday shoppers and travelers. Most drivers are aware that defensive driving and anticipating problems can prevent accidents.

Fatal car accident can turn a happy holiday into a sad reminder

Slip-and-fall accidents need not mar the holiday season
