How a Westerville Truck Accident Attorney Can Help You

In short, our fearless, experienced, and dedicated Ohio lawyers want to help you get maximum compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Here’s a look at some of the ways we do that.

Gather and Preserve Evidence

One thing clients love about our firm is our dedication to quickly collecting evidence before the trucking company can find a way to delete or manipulate it. Some of the evidence we’ll pursue includes:

The truck’s black box data
Dashcam videos
Bodycam footage from police officers who arrived at the scene of the accident
Surveillance videos from nearby businesses that may have caught the crash
Traffic camera footage
The police report
Your medical records
Eyewitness interviews

Determine Liability

Liability in trucking cases can be complicated. Unlike typical car accidents, there may be more than one liable party in a truck accident. Potential at-fault parties include:

The truck driver for being distracted, fatigued, or driving under the influence
The trucking company, especially if they were encouraging unsafe driving practices to meet impossible deadlines
A business that improperly loaded the truck
A truck part manufacturer, if a faulty part contributed to the wreck
A truck repair company for failing to provide proper maintenance on the vehicle

Our experienced attorneys can determine the liable parties and hold them responsible for your injuries.

Negotiate With Insurance Companies

The trucking company’s insurance carrier will do their best to bully you into accepting a small settlement to maximize their profits.

When you let us negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf, the insurance agent knows we can’t be pressured into accepting a mediocre offer, especially since we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.

Take Your Case to Trial

In cases where the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our Westerville truck crash lawyers will take your case to trial and prove to a jury why you deserve all the money you’re asking for.

Get You Maximum Compensation

Whether it’s through a settlement from the insurance carrier or a court case, we’ll work hard to get you the money you deserve for your life-changing injuries.

How Much Is Your Case Worth?

If you suffered severe injuries that will complicate the rest of your life, you should get enough money to make up for that.

Cases with less severe injuries will be worth less than those with life-altering injuries.

Your settlement amount will be broken down into economic and non-economic damages. Some cases also qualify for punitive damages. Here’s what each of those means.

Economic Damages

Economic damages include things you can add up using a calculator using things like bills and receipts and may include money for:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Medications
Crutches, a wheelchair, or other medical equipment
Reduced future earning potential
Home modifications to accommodate a new disability

Non-Economic Damages

Some things can’t be added up quite as easily but still deserve compensation, like:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Loss of consortium (loss of companionship)
Lost enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages

In rare cases where the responsible party displays especially bad behavior–like if the truck driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident–a judge can decide to award the injured party punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer.

While punitive damages are relatively rare, they can make up the largest portion of a settlement when they are awarded.

For the most part when you need legal representation something has not gone well. You are concerned, anxiety is up, you feel low, even frightened, and there does not seem to be a light anywhere around. Thus, I am very happy that I called CooperElliott. Much of that despair began to lift, I knew I had someone behind me, in front of me, beside me, and that I was not alone. I was treated like I had been a client for forever by everyone I was in contact with and met with. A great firm that will fight for you, and that means a great deal when you need someone who will do that with you. Thank you CooperElliott.

Through the law firm Cooper Elliott, I dealt with attorney, Bart Keyes. Bart was very thorough and understood that I Had no clue of how this process would go. Bart took the time needed to help educate me on this process for a very positive outcome.I can’t thank Bart and the staff at Cooper Elliott enough for all they have done for me. I am now able to move on with my life!

My name is Anthony Johnson and I just spoke with Ben Cooper about a wrongful accusation case, unfortunately they don't take on cases such as these but Ben gave me some valuable information and I could tell he really was trying to help me. Very knowledgeable and a great listener. Give him all call for anything law related. Made me feel important.

I worked with Adam Richards and his team. They were empathetic to my situation and extremely professional. I don't know what I would have done without their expert guidance and counsel. Adam really knows his stuff, and it was clear he had an excellent rapport with all who assisted in the case. Adam's communication abilities were next level. I never had to worry about getting ahold of him when needed. I know he and his team will continue to knock it out of the park for all future clients like they did for me.

My husband, Bob and I were injured in an automobile accident in December, 2022 when someone came through a Stop sign. We contacted Cooper Elliott, and were fortunate to work with Sean Alto and Kaela King. They came to our home several times to meet us and discuss the case, and got to know us personally as well as professionally. They really care about their clients! In addition, Michael Tonovitz stayed in contact with us to keep us informed on the progress of the case, which was resolved to our satisfaction.We highly recommend this law firm for personal injury!

I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.

Jonathan Bond handled a personal injury claim for me quickly with maximum results. He’s pleasant and enjoyable to work with, as well as compassionate. The firm handled all the legwork of getting medical records and copies of paperwork, which not all firms do. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone and would definitely go back to him if the need were to arise again.

Very satisfied! We dealt with Bart Keyes who showed genuine interest in our situation. Bart was always very quick to respond when we had questions and kept us informed throughout the case. If you need legal representation for a commercial real estate dispute we highly recommend Bart and the Cooper Elliot firm!

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!

I would highly recommend Cooper Elliott to any of my friends and family! Chip Cooper was extremely helpful guiding me through a difficult process. Chip was patient with me and provided feedback during the process that kept me informed until the desired outcome was achieved. There were interactions with other staff of the firm (whose names I do not know) that were helpful as well, I was impressed with the entire team!

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.
