As snow descends on Ohio residents and continues to accumulate while people go about completing their daily tasks, including rushing to complete their holiday shopping, they may not be aware of the risks that could befall them if the proprietors of businesses have not ensured their safety. Slips and falls are common accidents that take place in winter.
Beware of slips and falls in winter weather
The traffic related injuries covered by workers' compensation
Many traffic accidents take place either in the morning or afternoon rush hours, when most people are commuting to and from their employment. Those who have a bare understanding of the concept of workers' compensation may think that injuries that occur in these crashes are covered by workers' compensation, since they took place while a worker was on the way to work, or coming from work. However, injuries caused by most traffic accidents do not qualify as being covered by workers' compensation.
Accident involving motorcyclist results in his death
Though many Ohio residents may feel like winter is already here, autumn is the season most motorcyclists have been waiting for. Riding down the roads with the wind blowing through their hair and the beautiful foliage as scenery, motorcyclists are a common sight for most motorists these days. Unfortunately, those motorists who fail to see them can cause devastating accidents that can end all frolicking for both the accident victim and his or her family members.
