In Ohio, approximately 550 people are tragically killed or sustain severe injuries in commercial vehicle-related crashes each year. These devastating truck accidents impact communities across the state, from Cincinnati to Cleveland, and stretch across major routes like the turnpike and I-75. The weight of these senseless truck crashes burden Ohio families emotionally, financially, and physically—550 times a year.

In your Ohio truck accident lawsuit, justice demands The Law Firm for Truck Safety.

• The resources to help you inside and outside of the courtroom. For many Ohio truck accident victims and their families, justice is about more than money. It's about finding answers, taking another dangerous trucking company off Ohio roads, or even taking actionable steps to prevent the same tragedy from happening to someone else. During our free case review process, we take the time to fully understand your legal goals; we work with you to build a plan to help you reach them -- even when those goals take us outside the courtroom.
• Determination. Advocating for your rights means helping you tell your story in the most comprehensive and compelling way possible. In this pursuit, we will leave no stone unturned investigating your crash. We will thoroughly review the truck's driver log book, maintenance records, and police reports. We will subpoena dashcam footage, cell phone records, and tap medical and forensic experts to help us understand exactly what happened and why it happened, incorporating these facts into a powerful narrative that moves juries.
• A track record of record results. Our law firm's skill, focus, and resources have allowed us to maximize results for countless Ohio truck crash victims and their families. It has also led our Cleveland truck crash attorneys to hold the state's records for the largest truck crash verdict in Ohio (42.4M) and our Toledo truck accident attorneys to hold the record for Ohio's largest consortium-only wrongful death verdict ($34M).
• Courage. Most Columbus truck accident attorneys may try to steer you toward settlement if the thought of going to trial intimidates them. Unlike other personal injury law firms, we have the resources, knowledge, and previous trial experience to confidently take your case to trial, should your truck accident lawsuit demand it.

The weight, size, and forces associated with eighteen-wheelers and other types of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are much larger than their four-wheel counterparts. Not only does this mean semi-trucks have a greater potential for harm than passenger vehicles, it means that truck drivers must exercise more attention, skill, and care to operate their CMVs safely. When the standards of safe commercial motor vehicle operation aren’t followed, the harm those vehicles pose to other cars, motorcyclists, pedestrians — even other truck drivers — can lead to severe injury and death.

The weight, size, and forces of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) like eighteen-wheelers far exceed those of four-wheel vehicles. This not only makes CMVs more dangerous than passenger vehicles, but it also requires truck drivers to exercise greater attention, skill, and care to operate them safely. Failure to adhere to safe operation standards can result in severe injury and death to not only other motorists but also pedestrians and even other truck drivers.

If a truck driver is found to be at fault for a catastrophic truck accident on an Ohio interstate or road, it is always because some component of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) was not followed. These rules and regulations are federally required because they keep our roads and its users safe.

If you suffered a severe injury or if a loved one was taken from you in a truck accident, you deserve to be represented by personal injury lawyers who have regular experience prosecuting truck crashes, are unafraid to go to trial, and are committed to helping you receive the compensation you deserve.
