According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, the Ohio 10-year crash average is 386,257 motor vehicle crashes per year.  Trucks were involved in 123,049 of these crashes. Tragically, Ohio crashes involving heavy trucks killed 135 people in 2005.

Many survivors of Ohio truck crashes suffer such serious injuries that they require hospitalization, surgery, and long-term medical treatment.  Often, truck accident victims never fully regain their ability to return to work or resume family responsibilities and personal relationships.

Our Ohio lawyers will represent Ohio truck accident victims who require help with personal care and other normal activities of daily living for the rest of their lives. 

Even if an Ohio truck accident victim recovers, a truck crash takes its toll.  An individual may lose time and income from work, need help with household chores, and have to cope with the pain of injuries and necessary medical treatments. 

After truck accidents, victims and their families frequently concentrate on their physical, emotional, or financial challenges.  However, the time that Ohio truck accident law allows for an adult or child to act to preserve their legal rights usually starts to run from the day of the truck accident.

It is not unusual for a truck accident victim who is struggling to deal with a disabling injury, to forget that time is running out or to overlook other steps necessary to secure benefits.
