What Our Clients Say

Why Should You Contact a Car Accident Lawyer?

Accidents can be both physically and financially devastating for car accident victims. Seeking guidance from an experienced Ohio car accident lawyer can help you understand the compensation you deserve for the damages you’ve suffered. If you’ve been injured through no fault of your own, you deserve compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost income
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering

Without the help of an attorney, you could be taken advantage of by the insurance company. Remember, they’re in business to make money, not pay you a fair settlement.

How We Investigate Car Accident Cases

Investigating the cause of an auto accident takes meticulous evaluation. When you call us after the crash, our accident investigation team will visit the accident scene immediately to preserve critical evidence.

This can include:

• Taking photographs or videos of evidence that could help your case, such as skid marks, debris, and weather conditions.

• Documenting facts about the accident scene, such as traffic signal cycles, lane configurations, and visual obstructions at the intersection, such as trees or shrubbery.

For a thorough investigation, our team can also use the following techniques depending on the negligence factors involved:

• Alcohol and Drugs: After the crash, we’ll consult professional toxicologists who can determine if intoxication due to alcohol or drugs was responsible for your crash. We can also seek witness statements from those who may have seen the driver’s behavior or receipts from local establishments that show they were drinking before the collision.

• Speeding: If you were the victim of a speeding-related crash, our investigation team will work to prove how speed was a factor in your accident. This may involve analyzing traffic camera footage and consulting accident reconstruction experts.

• Distracted Driving: As your car accident lawyer, we hold distracted drivers accountable by proving they weren’t focused on the road before the accident. This can include reviewing cell phone records, dashboard camera recordings, and eyewitness accounts.

• Defective Products: Not all crashes are caused by negligent drivers. Sometimes, they’re caused by negligent auto manufacturers or defective products. We can look for evidence such as recall notices and engineering expert analysis to prove liability and hold them accountable.
