Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still recover if I’m partially at fault?
Yes — Ohio’s modified comparative negligence rule lets you recover if you’re under 50% at fault.
What is the filing deadline?
The statute of limitations for pedestrian accidents in Ohio is two years from the date of the crash.
Should I speak with the insurance company?
No. Let us handle those conversations—insurance companies often use recorded statements to undervalue claims
What if the driver fled?
We still pursue justice—working with evidence and witnesses to hold someone accountable.
How long does a case take?
It varies. Simple cases may resolve in months; complex ones or those requiring trial can take over a year.
