Auto accidents are an everyday occurrence on Akron roads. No matter how careful and respectful of other drivers you may be, someone else’s mistake can put you at risk of an accident.
If you’ve been injured in a car wreck, you know how traumatizing and complicated such an event can be. Suddenly you’re left without an operable vehicle to get you to and from work, all while dealing with medical appointments, your insurance company and mounting expenses.
If your injuries and expenses were caused by another driver’s negligence, that person should be liable for your damages, including medical expenses and lost wages (in the event your injuries left you unable to work).
At the Buckeye Law Group, we work diligently to ensure at-fault drivers and their insurance carriers are held accountable for any losses you may have suffered as a result of their negligent actions.
When you contact us for a free evaluation, we’ll thoroughly examine your situation, develop a compelling case and relentlessly pursue the compensation you’re owed for your ordeal.

Document the Scene
This may not always be possible depending on the extent of your injuries, but you should ideally document the scene of the accident before the vehicles get towed away.
Be sure to take photos showcasing damage to your vehicle, other vehicles involved in the crash as well as any debris and skid marks.
Get Emergency Medical Help Right Away
Going to a hospital or urgent care facility immediately after the accident. Medical documentation of your injuries will be vital to establish a valid claim. If you cannot prove your injuries were caused by the accident with medical records and bills, the insurance company may attempt to deny your injury claim altogether.
Don’t Admit Fault
The chaos that ensues right after the accident may cloud your judgment. Once the police arrive, don’t admit fault, as this can have legal implications later. Admitting fault at the scene can be used against you during insurance claims or legal proceedings, potentially affecting your ability to receive compensation for damages or injuries.
Instead, let the authorities conduct a thorough investigation and consult with an experienced attorney before making any statements that could impact your case.
