Legal State Limit of $3m goes to Victim of Ohio Accident

By Paul Napoli

The legal state limit for Ohio to award any one victim of an accident is $3 million dollars, and that is exactly what the victim's are going to get from the fatal accident. The accident that killed 7 members on the bus including the bus driver, and injured 28 other passengers occurred in Bluffton, Ohio. State rule states that the victims must share the state maximum awarded to any single accident, which comes out to $3 million. The accident occurred due to the bus driver thinking that he was getting on the highway, yet the exit wasn't actually an exit at all but a ramp. The victim's families are hoping that the city will make public transportation safer by putting in mandatory seatbelts, stronger support systems on the roofs of busses, as well as stronger windows and doors so that an event like this one never happens again.
