A 53-year-old man was killed and two others suffered minor injuries in an Ohio Boat Accident that occurred earlier this month. Records show the crash happened at around 3 p.m. Thursday, July 11, on the waters of the Muskingum River.
A 53-year-old woman who was on the boat at the time of the accident explained to the Coshocton Tribune that the victim, herself, and a 48-year-old Warsaw man were traveling up the river to fish when the boat began to approach a low hanging tree branch. The woman and the victim thought they could duck below the branch, but were struck by it and knocked out of the boat.
The pair briefly held onto the side of the boat, but it soon began to sink and disappeared under the water. The woman was able to swim to safety; however, the other victim could not swim and did not resurface. His body was found three days later near the American Electric Power Plant bridge in Conesville.
Investigators say they are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident and are examining whether or not alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
The Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy are aware of the dangers boating can present and would like to send their deepest sympathies to the family of the victim who died. The firm would also like to wish the two individuals who were injured a speedy recovery.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
