Ohio Semi Truck Accident Lawsuit

Attorneys Fred Pritzker and Eric Hageman are our lead attorneys for these cases. They recently won a $2,469,339 verdict in a tragic bicycle accident wrongful death case.

Whether a lawsuit is filed in state or federal court depends on the facts of your Ohio semi truck car accident. The facts of your case will also determine in which U.S. state the suit should be filed: the state where the semi truck accident occurred, the state where the truck driver resides, the home state of the trucking company or potentially another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

The Ohio State Supreme Court is the court of last resort in Ohio. Acting through the Chief Justice and the Justices of the Court, the Supreme Court of Ohio possesses constitutional and statutory authority to exercise general powers of superintendence over the courts of the state. Most of its cases are appeals from the 12 district courts of appeals.

In Ohio, the U. S. district court system is divided into the Northern and Southern Districts. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio holds court in Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, and Youngstown and serves the 40 most northern Ohio counties.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio serves the 48 southernmost counties in the state. It is divided into eastern and western divisions. The Eastern Division sits at Columbus and the Western Division at Cincinnati and Dayton.

About Trucking Company Insurance
Involved in Your Ohio Truck Minivan Accident

Interstate trucking companies have to meet insurance requirements to cover Ohio accidents involving semi truck wrongful death or serious semi truck personal injury, including head injury, spinal injury or burn injury. The insurance companies need to make a profit. Therefore, they immediately start investigating and strategizing to minimize settlement payouts to accident victims.

In order to protect your rights, an investigation needs to be launched on your behalf. This is critical to building a persuasive case so that you receive full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and potentially other damages.

The insurance generally covers an accident with a car, motorcycle, bicycle, bus, van, SUV or other vehicle. If the semi truck driver was at fault (not paying attention, texting, lost control on wet roads, etc), the insurance company may offer you a settlement. We highly recommend you speak to a semi accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.

In the following video, Eric discusses the challenges of a truck accident case that ultimately settled for $2,560,000.
