🎃🍬 Halloween should end with a bag full of candy — not a trip to the emergency room.

With trick-or-treaters walking through neighborhoods after dark, drivers need to be especially alert for children crossing streets, walking on sidewalks, and moving between parked cars.

But what happens if a driver hits a trick-or-treater in Ohio?

⚖️ Who is liable?

And here's an important question many parents may not know the answer to:

What if the child wasn't in a crosswalk?

Ohio law has rules for both pedestrians and motorists — but crossing outside a crosswalk does not automatically mean a driver has no responsibility for an accident.

Our latest Zaber Law blog explains:

🎃 Ohio pedestrian and crosswalk laws
🚗 When a driver may be responsible for hitting a pedestrian
🍬 What happens if a child runs into the street
📱 How distracted driving can affect liability
🏠 Why Ring doorbells and security cameras could become important evidence
⚖️ What families should know after a child is injured

Halloween lasts one night. A serious pedestrian injury can affect a family much longer.

⏳ Tip: Don’t Forget About Nearby Doorbell Cameras

📹 After a neighborhood crash, don't look only for traffic cameras. Homes and businesses may have doorbell or security cameras pointed toward the road. Footage can be overwritten quickly, so identifying potential video evidence early can matter.

🚗💥🚙💥🚗 One crash. Multiple vehicles. Multiple insurance companies. Who is actually responsible?

Multi-car pileups can become some of the most complicated car accident claims in Ohio.

One driver may have started the chain reaction. Another may have been following too closely. Someone else may have been speeding, distracted, or unable to stop in time.

And when several insurance companies get involved? Don't be surprised if they start pointing fingers at each other.

⚖️ Our latest Zaber Law blog explains what Ohio injury victims should know about:

▪️ Determining who caused a multi-car pileup
▪️ When multiple drivers can share responsibility
▪️ Ohio's comparative-fault rules
▪️ Dealing with multiple insurance companies
▪️ Evidence that can help establish what really happened
▪️ What happens when your vehicle is pushed into another car
▪️ Compensation that may be available after a serious crash

Just because several vehicles were involved doesn't mean you should be left trying to figure out who pays for your injuries.

⏳ Tip: Take Pictures of Your Child’s Car Seat After an Accident

👶 If a child safety seat was in the vehicle during a crash, photograph where it was positioned, how it was installed and any visible damage before removing or replacing it. Those photos can help preserve evidence of exactly what was in the vehicle at the time of the collision.

📱 A quick glance at a phone can lead to a life-changing crash.

Ohio's hands-free driving law generally prohibits drivers from using, holding, or physically supporting a phone or other electronic device while driving — but distracted driving accidents still happen.

So what happens when you’re the one injured because another driver was looking at their phone?

⚖️ You may have more options than you realize.

Our latest Zaber Law blog covers:

📵 What Ohio's hands-free law prohibits
🚗 How distracted driving can affect an injury claim
📱 Evidence that may help prove the driver was using a phone
🚨 What happens if the other driver wasn't ticketed
🗺️ What Ohio law says about using GPS while driving
⚖️ What injury victims should know about protecting their rights

No ticket doesn't automatically mean no case.

⏳ Tip: Don’t Throw Away Damaged Personal Property After a Crash

📱 Was your phone smashed? Glasses broken? Laptop damaged? Clothing ruined? Keep the damaged items and photograph them before replacing or discarding them. Personal property damaged in an accident may become part of documenting your losses.

🚨 A new Ohio law takes effect October 6, 2026 — and it expands which vehicles can be covered under the state’s vehicular assault and vehicular homicide laws.

Ohio House Bill 533 now includes vehicles such as golf carts, mopeds, motor scooters, and all-purpose vehicles under these laws when the legal requirements are met.

But what does that mean if you’re the person injured in the crash?

Criminal charges and personal injury claims are two different things. If you’re hurt because someone negligently or recklessly operated one of these vehicles, questions about liability, insurance coverage, and compensation can quickly become complicated.

⚖️ Our latest Zaber Law blog breaks down Ohio HB 533, what changed, and what injury victims should know about protecting their rights.

⏳ Tip: The Other Driver Wants to Pay Cash? Think Twice.

After a crash, the other driver may offer to pay for your damage out of pocket instead of involving insurance. Be careful. What looks like minor vehicle damage can become expensive, and injuries may not be obvious immediately. Document the accident and get the information you need before agreeing to anything privately.

🚗💥 **After a car accident, what should you SAVE? More than you might think.**

Photos of the damage are important, but they’re only the beginning.

📸 Accident scene photos and video
👀 Witness contact information
🎥 Dashcam or surveillance footage
🏥 Medical records and bills
💵 Proof of missed work and lost income
🧾 Receipts for accident-related expenses
🚘 Repair estimates and towing bills
📧 Insurance company emails and letters

Why does it matter?

Because weeks or months later, an insurance company may dispute who caused the accident, question your injuries, or challenge the amount of your losses. Meanwhile, surveillance video can be erased, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses may forget important details.

Legal Tip Tuesday ⚖️

⏳ Tip: Your Case Is About More Than the Emergency Room Bill

A personal injury claim may involve medical expenses, lost income, future care, pain, limitations on everyday activities, and other damages. Looking only at the first round of bills may not show the true impact of an injury.
