It is always sad to hear of a traffic fatality, especially when it involves a young person. An Ohio teenager was recently involved in a pedestrian accident. Unfortunately, the 17-year-old girl -- who was expected to graduate from high school in just a few short months -- died from her injuries.
When to choose workers' compensation after a work accident
Although many Ohio employers follow proper protocols, some may try to sidestep the law in order to save money. This is especially true in regards to workers' compensation. When an employee is injured on the job, the employer may try to coerce the worker to take paid leave through the Family and Medical Leave Act. This then gives the employer the opportunity to fire the employee after 12 weeks.
Police officer seriously injured after car accident
It can be challenging to drive at night when visibility is limited. On top of that, when a motorist is unfamiliar with the road, distracted or intoxicated, accidents are much more likely to occur. A police officer recently suffered serious injury after he was hit by another driver who failed to successfully navigate around a corner.

However, more and more shootings are occurring, leaving parents questioning the security of elementary and high schools in their area. This is especially true for Ohioans after a February 2012 shooting at Chardon High School in Cleveland killed three students and injured three others.
