A Pedestrian Struck on I-675. A Life Gone in Seconds. It happened before sunrise. A man was walking along I-675 near Beavercreek when a driver, unable to see him in the dark, struck and killed him in a matter of seconds. The driver wasn’t injured. The highway closed for hours while investigators worked the scene....
Bedsores Are Preventable. If Your Loved One Has One, Ask Why. If a loved one in a nursing home develops a bedsore, the question families should ask isn’t “how do we treat it.” It’s “why did this happen at all.” Bedsores don’t appear out of nowhere—they’re a direct result of a facility’s day-to-day care decisions,...
When Visibility Vanishes: Sun Glare and Pedestrian Accidents You step into a crosswalk with the light in your favor. You’ve done everything right. What you can’t control is whether the driver approaching you can see you at all—because the setting sun has turned their windshield into a wall of blinding white light. For pedestrians, sun...
Can Golf Courses Be Liable for Golf Cart Accidents? Few afternoons are more enjoyable than playing a round of golf. You’re zipping around in a golf cart, enjoying 9 or 18 holes on a familiar course, when the cart hits an unmarked hazard, the brakes give out, or a poorly maintained path sends you tumbling....
SUV Rollovers: Why Taller Vehicles Carry Higher Risks Millions of Ohio families drive SUVs every day—drawn to their size, their perceived safety, and their ability to handle whatever the road throws at them.

Intersections are among the most dangerous places a motorcyclist can be. According to NHTSA data, 37% of all fatal motorcycle crashes occurred at intersections—and in most of those cases, another vehicle was involved. A car making a left turn, a driver running a light, a vehicle pulling out without looking—these are split-second scenarios with life-altering...
When a vehicle crashes into a building, the immediate focus is on the physical scene: the shattered glass, the structural damage, the injured victims. But once the dust settles, another reality sets in. The financial and personal toll of this kind of crash extends far beyond what’s visible at the scene. Victims who don’t understand...
Patients consent to minor procedures every day: biopsies, injections, outpatient surgeries, scope procedures, etc. There’s a reasonable expectation that the risk is low and the recovery will be straightforward. Most of the time, that’s true. But when something goes wrong during a procedure a physician described as routine, patients are often told the same thing:...
It’s a split-second assumption that happens thousands of times a day: a driver approaches an intersection, sees another vehicle coming, and decides there’s enough time to go. Sometimes they’re right. Sometimes they’re catastrophically wrong. Rural Ohio intersections are where this kind of misjudgment is most likely to turn fatal. Unlike urban intersections with traffic signals...
