August 01, 2025 | Coshocton, OH
A 27-year-old man, Nathaniel Beard, was injured in a pedestrian accident Friday afternoon in Coshocton.
According to the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office, Beard was struck by a vehicle driven by a 29-year-old Coshocton man around 4:48 p.m. in the 200 block of Chestnut Street.
Nathaniel Beard was injured in a collision involving a vehicle in the 200 block of Chestnut Street in Coshocton.
Beard was initially taken to Coshocton Regional Medical Center before being airlifted to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.
His current condition has not been released as the investigation continues.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION NEEDED
The crash that left Beard injured underscores the dangers that pedestrians face on roadways each day in this country.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 104,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for crash-related injuries in 2020. The CDC noted that pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car accident.
Such crashes often result from distracted driving, speeding, negligent driving and road conditions that prioritize motor vehicles over pedestrians.
Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, noted that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect a victim’s rights.
“Having the proper resources is extremely important in order to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst for Newsline. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those injured receive the monetary compensation they deserve as they recover from an injury.”
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Pending results of the investigation, Nathaniel Beard may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming and disrupt all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.
“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows the lawyer to negotiate with an insurance company on behalf of a client,” Bond added. “Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
