Your questions, answered honestly.

We aim to connect you with an Ohio attorney as quickly as possible. Phone calls during the day are typically connected immediately; form submissions are followed up as soon as an attorney is available. If your situation is urgent, calling is the fastest path.

It's not too late. Most accident victims have spoken with insurance before contacting an attorney. Just don't sign anything else until you've had a free consultation.

Ohio's general statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years from the date of the accident. Wrongful death is also 2 years. Some claims (like medical malpractice) have shorter or different deadlines. Don't wait — evidence and witnesses fade quickly.

Ohio uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you were 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages — reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often inflate fault percentages, so legal representation matters.

It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, severity of injuries, length of recovery, and impact on your life. A free consultation can give you a realistic range. Beware of any attorney guaranteeing a specific amount upfront — they're unethical or wrong.

Most Ohio accident cases settle without trial. Attorneys negotiate with insurance companies and reach settlements through demand letters and mediation. Only a small percentage actually go to trial.

Yes. All communications are confidential. We never sell or share your information with anyone other than the attorney(s) reviewing your case.

Your own auto policy's Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage typically applies. About 13% of Ohio drivers are uninsured. UM/UIM claims can be complex — your insurer becomes adversarial — so attorney representation is highly recommended.

Most Ohio accident cases settle in 6-18 months. Minor injuries with clear liability can resolve in 3-6 months. Serious or disputed cases can take 18+ months. Patience usually leads to better outcomes — settling too early often leaves money on the table.

Yes. All attorneys in our network work on contingency: no upfront cost, no hourly fees, no fee unless they win. The fee comes from your settlement (typically 33-40%), and represented victims still net 2-3x more than self-represented ones on average.

We work with attorneys across Ohio. Whether you're in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron, Toledo, Dayton, or any city in between, we'll match you with someone licensed to practice in your county.

You may still recover under your own insurance (PIP, MedPay, UM/UIM in some cases) or against secondary parties (defective vehicle, road conditions, etc.). A free consultation can identify all available paths.

Yes. Wrongful death claims are brought by the personal representative of the deceased's estate, with damages going to surviving spouse, children, and parents. Statute of limitations is 2 years from date of death. We work with compassionate attorneys who handle these cases with care.

Just basic info: name, phone, accident type, date, and city. If you have the police report or other documents, great — but they're not required for a first consultation.
