Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
After a car accident, having proper legal representation is crucial. The insurance company has attorneys working for them—you should too. Our Columbus car accident lawyers ensure you:
- Understand your legal rights
- Know what your case is truly worth
- Navigate complex insurance claims
- Meet all filing deadlines, including Ohio’s two-year statute of limitations for negligence actions
- Receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses
If you’ve been injured in a car accident where someone else was at fault, you likely have a case. Contact us for a free consultation to evaluate your specific situation.
The timeline depends on your specific circumstances. Cases with disputed liability or severe injuries may take longer. Cases with clear liability and completed medical treatment can often be resolved in a few months.
Seek medical care immediately, take photos of the accident scene, ensure police create an accident report, gather witness information, and contact our car accident attorneys in Columbus as soon as possible.
Pre-existing conditions don’t automatically hurt your case. We deal with these situations daily and can work with your medical providers to distinguish between pre-existing conditions and new injuries. Sometimes, pre-existing conditions can even strengthen your case if they were worsened by the accident.
Ohio has a two-year statute of limitations for car and truck accident claims, meaning you must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
