Car Accident Injury Lawyers

Car accidents involve the collision of two or more motor vehicles. These can result in serious injuries or fatalities, and often involve complex legal issues.

Truck Accident Injury Lawyers

Truck accidents are similar to car accidents but may result in greater damage due to the size and weight of trucks.

Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyers

Motorcycle accidents frequently occur when motorists do not look out for motorcycles on the roadway.  These crashes can result in devastating injuries.



Bike Accident Injury Lawyers

Bicycle accidents can be caused by drivers who fail to give bicyclists room on the road, resulting in severe injuries or even the death of cyclists.  

Bus Accident Injury Lawyers

Common Causes of Car Accidents 

Drunk Driving Crashes

A person who is impaired by drugs or alcohol may be unable to make safe decisions or react quickly in an emergency situation. This can both increase the likelihood of them causing an accident and lead to more serious injuries, since the driver's decision-making process is compromised compared to a sober person.

While drunk driving accidents have decreased in recent decades, they’re still responsible for an unconscionable volume of serious injury and fatality car crashes in Ohio. It’s vital these drivers are held accountable for their decisions. One of the ways the legal system provides is via punitive damages, which are only available via a lawsuit brought by the injured person or their family.

Distracted Driving Crashes

Distracted driving is inherently dangerous. It takes the driver's attention away from the task of driving, which can lead to slower reaction times and potentially cause accidents. Distracted driving includes any activity that diverts a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. Examples of distracted driving include texting while behind the wheel, using a cell phone or smartphone, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, reading maps or navigation systems, watching videos, adjusting a radio or other entertainment device, and using other electronic devices. The potential for accidents resulting from distracted driving is very serious.

According to statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2020 alone there were 3,142 people killed and an estimated 400,000 injured due to distracted drivers in motor vehicle crashes on U.S. roads.

Young drivers are especially vulnerable to distractions as they are more likely to be engaged with their cell phones while operating a vehicle than older drivers. Furthermore, research has indicated that even hands-free devices can still be significantly distracting for motorists due to cognitive distractions such as multitasking between activities like talking on the phone and trying to focus on traffic conditions.

Red Light and Stop Sign Accidents

Stopping on red and at stop signs is an obvious responsible driving behavior most people have no issues following. It’s why these accidents tend to leave little doubt as to culpability, unless there’s no evidence of what happened and the driver who ran the stop sign or red light isn’t honest about who is responsible.

Uber and Lyft Accidents

There are some unique challenges facing passengers or other drivers involved in a rideshare accident. Contract drivers working through rideshare apps do have extra liability coverage when they’re actively on the application or driving customers, but there are a variety of exceptions and loopholes that may interfere with your ability to collect the damages you should be rightfully owed.

Our attorneys have extensive experience with these types of rideshare accident cases. We’ll aggressively fight on your behalf for the compensation you deserve.
