U.S. Route 270 runs straight through Hilliard, bringing hundreds of 18-wheelers, big rigs, and commercial vehicles through our city. While these trucks play a vital role in our economy, they’re also overrepresented in serious motor vehicle crashes. That’s why the state has civil remedies in place that allow injured people to hold trucking companies and their drivers financially responsible.
If you’re looking for an experienced, case-results-driven legal team, you’ve come to the right place. The Fitch Law Firm LLC has recovered more than $150 million over the past three decades, and now, we stand ready to secure the compensation you need. Your journey to compensation begins with a free consultation about our Hilliard personal injury lawyers. Call now.
Truck Accident Clients Pay No Upfront Fees, Costs, or Retainers
Attorney John Fitch founded this firm with one goal in mind: advocating for injured people. He and his team intend to make this traumatic time as straightforward as possible, doing everything possible to instill confidence in your case’s outcome. We start by offering our legal representation on a contingency-fee basis.
In this arrangement:
- We waive all upfront fees and costs.
- You don’t pay for by-the-service rates.
- Our law firm finances your case’s consulting costs and administrative fees.
- Compensation for our time and efforts comes from your awarded settlement at your claim’s conclusion.
We tell many clients: “If you don’t get paid, neither do we.” That’s because if your case doesn’t yield compensation, you don’t pay for our time and efforts.
With Our Advocacy, You Get More Than a Hilliard Truck Accident Lawyer
The team at The Fitch Law Firm LLC prides itself on offering well-rounded legal care that prioritizes clients’ needs. When you entrust us with your legal matters, your case becomes our cause, and we’re committed to seeing it through to the very end. Your lawyer doubles as a(n):
- Investigator. Our team relies on its investigative resources to gather strong supporting evidence. This information can include black box data, the trucker’s driving logs, and your medical records. With the information we find, we aim to prove that because another party caused your accident, you were injured, sustained losses, and deserve compensation.
- Communicator. If the insurance company calls you, let it go to voicemail. The claims adjuster may hope to catch you off-guard and pressure you into accepting a lower settlement than you deserve. Your Hilliard truck accident lawyer will manage all phone calls, text messages, and emails as they relate to your claim.
- Negotiator. We resolve most truck accident cases through negotiated settlements. Yet, the path to an out-of-court settlement isn’t easy. It requires us to understand the liable policy, the cost of your damages, and the details of the collision.
Our truck accident lawyers in Hilliard are ready to set your case in motion today. Call now to begin your free initial consultation.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.

We Seek Compensation That Accounts for Truck Accident-Related Expenses
In the grand scheme of things, there’s no dollar value that can account for the pain and suffering the truck collision caused. Yet, our team does everything possible when putting a dollar figure on your injury-related damages, such as:
- Healthcare costs
- Lost wages, including tips and commissions
- Loss of future earning capacity
- The cost of your vehicle’s repairs or replacement
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Disability
- Scarring and disfigurement
Our Hilliard wrongful death lawyers also advocate for grieving families in the aftermath of fatal collisions. In those instances, compensation can account for funeral, burial, and end-of-life care costs.
Truck Accident Lawsuits Come with State-Imposed Filing Deadlines
Your eligibility for filing a personal injury lawsuit starts counting down from the date of your accident. Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10 notes that you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit. The same two-year period applies to wrongful death lawsuits, too.
Missing this deadline, even by a day, could mean disastrous things for your financial recovery options. For one thing, the insurance company would have no obligation to negotiations after this period. What’s more, the civil court system could dismiss your cases with prejudice, preventing you from holding the at-fault party financially accountable.
Time is critical when building strong truck accident cases. For that reason, you benefit from consulting The Fitch Law Firm LLC immediately regarding your legal options. With prompt notice, we can adhere to all case-related deadlines and present the strongest possible claim.

Liability and Your Hilliard Truck Accident Claim
Determining liability is one of the most important tasks a lawyer undertakes. This is especially important in truck accident claims, as multiple parties could be liable for your losses. That’s because these cases operate under the doctrine of vicarious liability. So, even if a trucker caused your accident, their employer could be liable.
Unrepresented, you might not be able to identify every liable party, leaving money on the negotiating table at your case’s end. Yet, with the advocacy of our Hilliard truck accident lawyers, we identify every responsible party and pursue compensation from each of them.
