Pursuing Full and Fair Compensation for Trotwood Truck Accident Victims
Assessing your damages after a semi-truck accident often starts with the costs of repairing or replacing your car.

Additional economic damages we request for you can include:
- Accident-related medical bills
- Rehabilitation and therapy

Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Your Truck Accident Lawsuit
In Ohio, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit after a truck accident. This is the general rule, there may be exceptions. In general, you have:
- Two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10
- Two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death claim, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02
