Simon Keough seriously injured in Toledo traffic light accident

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Red light accidents in Ohio contribute significantly to the state’s intersection-related crash totals each year. While specific red light crash numbers aren’t always separately reported, state traffic safety data shows that many serious and fatal collisions occur at signalized intersections, particularly in high-traffic urban areas like Franklin, Cuyahoga, and Hamilton counties.

These accidents often involve speeding, distraction, or drivers running red lights during evening rush hours. The Ohio Statistics and Analytics for Traffic Safety provides detailed breakdowns of such incidents.

“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Simon Keough may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the results of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. That’s where an attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
