Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim if the accident happened far from home?
Yes — if it happened in Ohio, we can represent you.
Does Ohio require bicycle helmets?
Ohio has no universal helmet law for adults; however, wearing one greatly reduces injury severity and strengthens your case.
What if boating accident involved alcohol?
Alcohol involvement can increase liability. In Ohio, operator negligence due to impairment often strengthens compensation claims.
Can I sue a manufacturer for equipment failure?
Yes—defective equipment can be grounds for product liability action in many cases.
