Aggressive Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting For Maximum Damages For Victims Of Auto, Motorcycle And Truck Accidents

Small town living is a way of life in southeastern Ohio. We all rely on motor vehicles to get to work, school and our daily activities. Law-abiding citizens follow the rules of the road, well aware that driving is a privilege, not a right. However, as much as we tried to avoid them, accidents still happen quite frequently. When accidents do occur, the result is often painful and life-altering injuries.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, a motorcycle crash or a truck collision, you need to hire a personal injury lawyer who will assess your claim and fight for substantial compensation for your injuries. At The Law Firm of Richard M. Lewis, we stand up to insurance carriers and never accept lowball settlement offers. You can rely on our team of experienced car accident lawyers to do what it takes to hold the reckless drivers who caused your accident responsible for their negligence.

In addition to car and tractor-trailer accidents, we represent clients injured in SUV rollovers, ATV accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian collisions, hit and run accidents, drunk driving crashes and more. Call our offices today for a free consultation about your case.

What Should You Do After The Accident To Preserve Your Legal Rights?

It should go without saying that your health and safety, and that of your passengers, should be your primary concern. Call 911 right away; if your injuries prevent you from calling, call out to someone to get medical help to the scene. Even if you do not think you’ve been seriously injured, you should take care to stay still and wait to be cleared by medical personnel.

If possible, attempt to do the following in an effort to collect valuable information to pass on to your accident injury lawyer.

  • Document your injuries: Do this as soon as possible after the accident. In addition to doctor’s reports and diagnostic tests, photos of your injuries just after the crash, as well as throughout your treatment and recovery, may be important evidence in your case.
  • Collect witness information: Names, addresses, phone numbers and any other contact information from drivers and passengers in other cars, as well as any other witnesses, may be critical to your case. Also, try to obtain insurance information from other drivers involved in the accident.
  • Take photographs: There’s very little excuse for not being able to capture real-time images of the scene of the accident. It’s quite likely that you, a passenger or a passerby can pull out a smartphone and photograph everything.
  • Contact a personal injury lawyer: While you are recovering from your injuries, The Law Firm of Richard M. Lewis will be dealing with the insurance companies and fighting for your right to maximum compensation and justice in your case. We will seek to hold the people responsible for your pain and suffering liable for the injuries they have caused.

Additionally, while at the scene of the accident, in the ambulance or at the hospital, it’s important that you refrain from discussing the specifics of the accident with anyone. Anything you can say can be misconstrued. Something simple such as “I never meant to hurt anyone” can be interpreted as an admission of fault. Focus on your health-related issues and decline to discuss anything else until you’ve met with Mr. Lewis.
