Defending Victims of Motor Vehicle Accidents

The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm: Protecting Your Right to Justice

A motor vehicle accident can change a life in seconds. When negligence on Ohio roadways causes serious injury or death, The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm stands as a powerful advocate for those harmed. We believe that no individual or family should bear the financial and emotional burden of a crash caused by another’s carelessness.

Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents often result from distracted driving, intoxication, speeding, failure to yield, or reckless conduct. These crashes frequently lead to catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, internal organ trauma, fractures, or wrongful death. Our firm steps in to protect your rights, confront insurance companies, and demand accountability from those responsible.

We fight to secure compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries, including:

  • Medical treatment and long-term care
  • Lost income and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or loss of quality of life
  • Financial security for families after fatal crashes

Ohio Motor Vehicle Accident Advocacy

Enforcing Negligence & Liability Laws

Motor vehicle accident claims in Ohio are governed by personal injury law. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm builds strong cases designed to prove liability and protect our clients from unfair blame. To hold negligent parties accountable, we work relentlessly to establish that:

A driver or responsible party owed a duty of care
That duty was violated through negligent or reckless conduct
The violation directly caused the collision
Our client suffered measurable injuries and losses

Depending on the facts, we pursue claims against negligent drivers, commercial employers, trucking companies, vehicle owners, manufacturers, and other responsible entities.

Fighting Comparative Fault Allegations

Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto injured victims. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm aggressively challenges these tactics. Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning:

Injured individuals may recover compensation if they are 50% or less at fault
Any assigned fault reduces compensation proportionally
If fault exceeds 50%, insurers may attempt to deny recovery

We conduct thorough investigations, retain experts, and present compelling evidence to protect our clients from unjust fault allocations.

Protecting Your Claim Under Ohio Deadlines

Ohio law imposes strict filing deadlines for motor vehicle accident claims. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm ensures your rights are preserved before time runs out.

Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident
Missing the deadline can permanently bar recovery
Special rules may apply for minors, wrongful death cases, or claims involving government entities

Early legal action allows us to secure evidence, preserve witness testimony, and strengthen your case from the outset.

Securing Full Compensation After a Motor Vehicle Accident

When negligence causes harm, we fight for more than quick settlements—we fight for justice. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm pursues full and fair compensation, which may include:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma
Permanent impairment or disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death damages for surviving families

Every case is approached with precision, urgency, and unwavering advocacy.
