At Oliver Law Office, our car accident attorneys and support staff know that, like other major cities in the U.S., Columbus has more than its share of dangerous roads where it is never a surprise to learn another crash has occurred.
Tragically, some of these Ohio roads are more than dangerous but deadly. Over the past three years, 3,189 fatal traffic accidents occurred on Ohio roadways—some more frequently than others.
