Auto Accidents

Chester Law Group Co., LPA: big-firm results in major auto accident claims with small-firm care in every case

Every day, Ohio drivers take risks. Whether you are rounding the notorious Dead Man's Curve on the Cleveland Innerbelt or braving a snowstorm on I-71 between Cincinnati and Columbus, it's risky to share the road with reckless or distracted drivers, especially when road conditions are bad.

Good drivers take steps to avoid accidents, but the law requires all drivers to buy insurance because there is no sure protection against accidents and major injuries. If the worst happens, the insurance company will compensate you for your losses, right?

Not necessarily.

Insurance companies don't necessarily protect your rights, or your interests, when you've been seriously injured in a car crash. Insurance companies protect their profits. Shouldn't you have someone on your side, protecting your rights?

Chester Law Group Co., LPA, serve Ohio vehicle accident victims from 16 offices in locations including Akron, Youngstown, Cleveland, Canton, Toledo, and Columbus.

If you have suffered a life-altering injury or your loved one was killed because of the recklessness or negligence of another driver, you deserve full and fair compensation for all of your losses, including:

Lost wages: You may have missed work because of your injury, or you may not be able to return to work at all
Lost abilities: Spinal cord injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia, brain damage, loss of limbs, injuries that change your life forever
Medical bills: Your injuries may require long-term care, major surgeries, hospitalizations, and special equipment that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
Loss of loved ones: The death of a spouse or parent can place an additional financial burden on a bereaved family

Preble County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Covering 426 square miles, only 2 of which are covered in water most of the year, Preble County is located along the western border of Ohio. The county takes its name from Commodore Edward Preble, a noted naval officer later a shipbuilder of some repute. The Township of Eaton is listed as the county seat for Preble County as well as its largest population center, but the Ohio Department of Public Safety counts it as a separate area where traffic is concerned. As a result, of the 42,337 residents that live in Preble County, only 34,204 are covered in the most recent reports issued by the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

Description: Pike County recorded a grand total of 614 traffic accidents and 5 traffic-related fatalities during 2007, and another 597 traffic accidents in 2008 as well as 6 more traffic-related fatalities. These statistics are well in line with statewide averages, though there are a few safer counties in Ohio. This might be due to the strange rash of unknown and/or unexplained traffic accidents that seem to affect Pike County.

Description: Named after Revolutionary War and War of 1812 hero and statesman Isaac Shelby, Shelby County is located in western Ohio. Home to 47,910 residents, Shelby County sprawls out over 411 square miles in a location that is not necessarily motorist-friendly 365 days a year. Despite this, the Ohio Department of Public Safety actually lists Shelby County as a very safe place for motorists. In fact, there were only 877 traffic accidents reported in 2007, and another 902 traffic accidents reported in 2008.

Perry County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: According to data provided by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Perry County is a surprisingly safe place for motorists. This is particularly impressive given the frequently inclement weather and other factors that present motorists in Perry County with challenges throughout a significant portion of the average year. With only 495 traffic accidents on record in 2007, and another 544 in 2008, the roads of Perry County have an impressive safety record even if those statistics do seem subject to large fluctuations on a year for year basis. Despite the dramatic increase in overall traffic accidents of roughly 10% between 2007 and 2008, there was actually a decline in the overall number of traffic-related fatalities in the same time frame: 2007 saw 11 traffic-related fatalities in Perry County as the result of 10 separate traffic accidents, but only 6 fatal traffic accidents resulted in 6 fatalities the following year. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Reading Township, Pike Township, or Thorn Township truck / car accident, call the Perry County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.

Description: It is worth noting that the Ohio Department of Public Safety notes that Paulding County is a relatively safe place for motorist in Ohio, with only 425 traffic accidents on file during 2007, and another 426 during 2008. One statistic is fairly alarming and worth immediate attention: 11 people lost their lives in 6 separate traffic accidents in Paulding County during the course of 2007, and another 5 lost their lives in 5 separate traffic accidents the following year. While 16 traffic-related fatalities over the course of 2 years does not seem incredibly noteworthy at first, it does when there are only 851 traffic accidents totals. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Paulding Township, Brown Township, or Crane Township truck / car accident, call the Paulding County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.
Scioto County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Located in southern Ohio, it would be reasonable to assume that Scioto County would be subject to adverse road conditions throughout a significant portion of the year. These road conditions normally translate to a large number of traffic accidents, but Scioto County does not seem to be overly prone to traffic accidents according to the data provided by the Ohio Department of Public Safety. In fact, the traffic related statistics provided by the Ohio Department of Public Service indicate that a grand total of only 1,273 occurred in 2007, and another 1,417 in 2008. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Porter Township, Washington Township or Clay Township truck / car accident, call the Scioto County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.

Tuscarawas County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Due to the adverse weather conditions, it would be reasonable to assume that Tuscarawas County would be home to a great number of traffic accidents. According to data provided by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, a total of 1,636 traffic accidents were recorded in Tuscarawas County during 2007. 2008 saw a total of 1,652 traffic accidents go on the books of Tuscarawas County, which shows a surprising year to year stability.

Union County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Despite the adverse driving conditions, Union County reported only 843 traffic accidents during 2007, and another 898 the following year. While these statistics are very reasonable for a county with barely 40,000 residents, the traffic fatality figures are a little less reasonable with 7 traffic accidents in 2007 resulting in 7 lives lost and another 5 traffic-related fatalities being the direct result of 5 unique traffic accidents the following year. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Jerome Township, Allen Township, or Paris Township truck / car accident, call the Union County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.

Only 1,700 traffic accidents were recorded in Muskingum County during 2007, including 13 fatalities and 526 injuries. 2008 saw a slight decline in overall traffic accidents recorded in Muskingum County, with 1,692 traffic accidents on file, including 7 fatalities and 598 injuries.

Morrow County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: This challenge can be clearly seen in the Ohio Department of Public Safety traffic accident and crash statistics, as Morrow County recorded a grand total of 1,004 traffic accidents in 2007, including 10 traffic related fatalities that were the product of 9 separate traffic accidents. 2008 saw a near repeat of these numbers, with a grand total of 1,022 traffic accidents being entered into the Morrow County records, including 5 fatal traffic accidents that took 6 lives.

If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Malta Township, Morgan Township, or Windsor Township truck / car accident, call the Morgan County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.
Montgomery County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Overall, Montgomery County is a fairly safe place for motorists considering its proximity to a major city and the often inclement weather that motorists in Ohio tend to deal with throughout a significant portion of the average year. With a grand total of 3,032 traffic accidents on record in 2007, and another 2,997 in 2008, it is certainly possible to say that large population of Montgomery County produces stable statistics. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Washington Township, Miami Township, or Harrison Township truck / car accident, call the Montgomery County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.

Stark County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: Canton is listed as both the county seat and the largest population center in Stark County, and it is worth noting that the Ohio Department of Public Safety lists the combined number of residents in all the townships as 233,868. This disparity in recording methods also results in the Ohio Department of Public Safety not listing Canton as the largest population center in Stark County. Covering 581 square miles, 5 of which are covered in water most of the year, Stark County is a potential hot-spot for traffic accidents due to geography, topology, and weather patterns. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Canton, Plain Township, or Jackson Township truck / car accident, call the Stark County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.
Ottawa County Ohio Car Accident Attorney Discusses Statistics
Description: The fact that Ottawa County is home to numerous islands that contain smaller population centers makes the county unique not only from a cultural point of view, but also from other perspectives as well. For example, a small township such as Put-In-Bay that is isolated on its own island is unlikely to ever experience a significant number of unknown and/or un-attributable traffic accidents because there is simply nowhere to run and everyone knows everyone else in a township of only 763. If you've been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a Danbury Township, Portage Township, or Benton Township truck / car accident, call the Ottawa County auto accident and wrongful death attorneys / lawyers at Chester Law Group at 1-800-218-4243 or order your FREE BOOK entitled The Insider’s Guide to Handling Ohio Accident Claims at www.ChesterLaw.com.
