Contact a car accident lawyer immediately if you’re hit by a commercial vehicle. Our experienced personal injury lawyers know that insurance claims adjusters and corporate representatives will try to take advantage of your shock after a crash. In doing so, these parties may rob you of your right to pursue legal action against them.
When we address your case, we ensure claims adjusters and corporate reps respect your right to recover. Our Columbus commercial vehicle accident lawyers can protect your right to file an insurance claim and a personal injury claim, no matter what steps opposing parties take to minimize your recovery.

You can count on our team to go the extra mile to get you the answers you need – not to mention the support you need to pay your bills.
Our commercial vehicle accident attorneys in Columbus can:
- Mediate conversations with insurance claims adjusters

Mediating With Insurance Claims Adjusters
Insurance companies don’t have your best interests at heart after an accident. They want to save money. Insurance claims adjusters may subsequently use bad-faith tactics to minimize your accident losses.
We can step in and prevent insurance claims adjusters from:
- Prolonging your filing process
- Ghosting you
- Denying you access to key evidence
- Minimizing your losses
- Pressuring you into accepting an insufficient settlement offer
- Denying your claim without consideration
Gathering Evidence of Driver Negligence
You can’t build a commercial vehicle accident claim without evidence. Fortunately, you don’t have to return to an accident scene to find the data key to your recovery. If you call our lawyers, we can investigate your losses. In the meantime, you can focus on physically and emotionally recovering from your accident.
We build each personal injury case on a concrete foundation of evidence. That evidence allows us to identify the party responsible for your losses. We can then elaborate on driver negligence before arguing that they owe you financial support under Ohio’s understanding of “duty of care.”
Defending Your Right to Loss-Based Damages
You deserve comprehensive financial support after an accident with a commercial vehicle. That’s why we establish the value of your case ahead of time. Once we know the total value of your economic and non-economic losses, we can prevent a liable party from undervaluing your losses.
Our team knows how to find the value of losses like the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages and/or income
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
Call our team to schedule a free case consultation if you’re hit by a commercial vehicle. We use these consultations to break down our calculations to establish your case’s value.

When Should You Call a Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer?
If you want to file a personal injury claim against a corporation, you must do so before your statute of limitations expires. Revised Code § 2305.10 gives you no more than two years to file a finalized claim with a civil judge.
You can contact a commercial vehicle accident lawyer at any point in that two-year period to discuss the process of filing a claim. However, we recommend that you get in touch sooner rather than later.
The sooner we tackle your case, the sooner we can represent you in conversations with an insurance company. Our influence can discourage the bad-faith tactics that insurance companies might otherwise use to minimize your losses. We can also prevent liable parties from accusing you of shared accident blame.
Do You Have to Go to Court When Working With a Lawyer?
You do not have to go to trial if you want to ask for commercial vehicle accident support. You can work with an attorney to negotiate for the support you deserve. These out-of-court negotiations can resolve significantly faster than a traditional trial if a liable party cooperates with you.
How Much does It Cost to Work With a Commercial Vehicle Lawyer?
The question that often follows, “Who should I call if I’m hit by a commercial vehicle?” is, “How much will a lawyer cost?” Fortunately, our commercial vehicle lawyers work on contingency.
Our contingency fee agreements allow our clients to pursue legal action without worrying about the cost of a lawyer. We do not get paid while your case is in progress, and you will not receive bills from our team. Instead, we only get paid when we win your case.
Our agreements ensure we are paid out of your settlement, meaning your savings are secure throughout your time with our team.
