Frequently Reported Causes of Car Accidents in Englewood
Car accidents can have many different causes, including driver errors, mechanical errors, and environmental causes. Some commonly reported causes include:
- Distracted or drowsy driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Following too closely
- Disregarding traffic signals
- Road and weather conditions
- Vehicle flaws or defects
- Improper merges or turns
- Unsafe lane changes
All of these causes could be construed as negligent. Our investigation will prove the elements of negligence that allow you to seek compensation, including:
- Duty: The driver owed you a legal duty of care
- Breach: The driver breached their duty of care
- Causation: Their breach caused your accident
- Damages: The accident resulted in financial losses
The evidence we collect for you will prove these elements and ensure all legal parameters are met.
Building a Strong Case with Comprehensive Evidence Collection
A comprehensive collection of evidence is crucial for proving the cause and resulting costs of your crash. We will compile:
- Car accident report
- Medical records and bills
- Accident scene photos
- Accident reconstruction
- Eyewitness statements
- Insurance correspondence
- Proof of income
- Vehicle inspection reports
Rather than tax you or your family with compiling evidence, we do it for you so you can focus on getting better while we build your case.

Types of Compensation Available for Injured Car Accident Victims
You can recover multiple types of damages for a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence in Ohio. The economic, or tangible, damages you can recover include:
- Known and anticipated medical bills
- Known and anticipated loss of income

Supporting Families Through Compassionate Legal Representation
We know nothing can atone for the loss your family has experienced after a fatal accident. We also know the financial toll a sudden loss can take, so we fight hard to recover damages for you, including:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of domestic input
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of guidance
We also take time to clarify who can file a wrongful death claim in Ohio and which family members can recover wrongful death compensation.
Understanding Ohio’s Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Lawsuits
You have a limited window of opportunity to file your lawsuit after a car accident. In general:
- The statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit is two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10
- The statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit is also two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02
Failure to file your lawsuit on time could put your right to financial recovery at risk. We can help you avoid this risk by filing your lawsuit for you—on time and with the appropriate court.
