Our firm has represented clients in all of those

experienced to obtain the maximum possible
settlement and/or judgment against the negligent
party and/or insurance company. Keep in mind
that in Ohio you have only a two-year Statute of
Limitations to bring a lawsuit after an
automobile accident. If you do not hire an
attorney and file the suit to protect your
rights within the first two years, you will lose
your right to any settlement or judgment as a
result of your accident. It is very important
that you immediately contact an attorney to
protect your rights after any accident or
injury.
