Cincinnati Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Cincinnati Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Were you or someone you love hit by a distracted, inattentive, or otherwise negligent driver in a dangerous intersection in Cincinnati?

At The Fitch Law Firm LLC, our team is committed to helping injured pedestrians get compensation from the at-fault driver or the driver’s insurance company. Our Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyer will listen to your version of events and collect evidence to build your case.

How We Help You Pursue an At-Fault Driver

Ohio allows you to pursue an at-fault driver on your own. However, proving the driver was at fault for the accident can be a major undertaking. It may involve legal language and principles that could be difficult and complex for some.

When you trust our personal injury law firm with your case, we use our familiarity with state, local, insurance, and personal injury law to help you reach a fair settlement. This means we endeavor to resolve your case as seamlessly as possible. Hiring our lawyers has many benefits and advantages. Our pedestrian accident team will:

  • Investigate the crime scene
  • Identify the at-fault driver
  • Contact the at-fault driver’s insurer
  • Calculate your recoverable damages
  • Compile supportive documents and evidence
  • Locate and interview witnesses
  • Search the accident scene and surrounding area for photos and videos
  • Handle the back-and-forth process of settlement negotiations

Most personal injury cases are settled without a trial—and yours may do the same. However, we will not hesitate to go to court, if necessary, to ensure you get the compensation you need.

Evidence That Proves the At-Fault Driver’s Negligence

Since representatives for you or the driver were not present at the accident scene, we rely on the evidence to tell us what happened. Your police report is one of the primary pieces of evidence we collect. It may contain important information we can use to:

  • Identify the driver
  • Contact his insurer
  • Prove the accident’s cause
  • Identify points of impact

Additional evidence we add to your case file includes:

  • Medical records and bills
  • Job and salary records
  • Accident and injury photos
  • Witness statements

Evidence collection is important. Its presentation often prompts a settlement versus a trial.

Ohio’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations Could Affect Your Case

Ohio allows victims to pursue at-fault drivers for compensation but limits the time they have to do so. Generally speaking, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10. Similarly, the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02.

If the statute of limitations in your case expires, you could inadvertently forfeit your right to hold the at-fault driver responsible for your compensation. Our personal injury team will ensure your lawsuit is filed on time with sufficient notice from you. Doing so will safeguard your ability to get the compensation you need. Getting involved in your case sooner rather than later also ensures we have time to conduct an in-depth investigation.

When we looked into seeking representation after my son's car accident we did not know anybody who had experience with as an attorney with car wrecks. So we looked online at all the firms that specialize in auto accidents, then by using as our criteria the reviews we selected The Fitch Law firm. Right from the start they were extremely helpful .  They explained how the process would go based on our specifics of the accident and then basically did all the work to file a claim and get all that we were entitled to. Working with Becky and Kirstin was perfect, they kept us informed every step of the way and if we had questions they had time to explain them making sure we understood each time. Our case was not a high dollar amount but they still offered above average service and looked out for us like it was. I highly recommend The Fitch Law firm without hesitation.

Our experience with the Fitch Law Firm was incredible. We worked with Kirstin, and she's really gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After our car accident, we were so overwhelmed by the insurance companies, and Kirstin made everything so easy for us. We never would have gotten such a good settlement without her. They seem to really care about their clients, and they are very responsive. They worked hard to answer our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.

I was involved in an accident as the passenger of the responsible party during Feb. of 2020. I completed physical therapy in June of the same year. I worked with a firm that was not as responsive as I would have liked, so I sought representation elsewhere to ensure the claim was handled correctly. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to task The Fitch Law Firm with this case. Associate attorney Kirstin Peterson was assigned to my case, and I couldn’t have asked for someone so thorough, professional, responsive and down right genuinely caring than her. There were some unforeseen obstacles, but throughout my doubts she maintained consistent in reassuring me she was doing everything she could to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend this firm and having nothing but more than positive things to say about the associate attorney assigned to my case. Thank you so much Fitch Law Firm, and Kirstin Peterson. You guys are extraordinary in what you do!

I was in a car accident on 10/21/2018 that was not my fault. I googled different accident laywers. And came across the fitch law firm. From the first time i walked thru the doors mr fitch and becky made me feel at ease. Mr fitch thought my case woukd be good to take on. The other parties insurance was extremely difficult to deal with.and i can say mr fitch represented me well. And Becky checked in on me and kept me updated on the case. Its been 2 years and my case finally settled i was ok with the amount given. And i will use the fitch law firm again if ever needed.
