Issues that often come up in Ohio reviews

  • 01

    Three metros, one set of statutes

    Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati each have busy Common Pleas dockets. I-71, I-75, and I-70 wrecks are a large share of injury reviews.

  • 02

    Medical claims can differ

    Medical claims can follow a different statute than a typical two-year injury range. Confirm dates with an Ohio lawyer rather than assuming one calendar.

  • 03

    Family and DUI

    We do not file in Ohio courts of common pleas and we do not guarantee a settlement. A participating attorney can review family, DUI, or injury facts.
