If you have been affected by a car accident in Ohio, you could have valuable rights, and it is important to meet with an attorney as soon as possible. Often, victims make the mistake of speaking with the insurance company before they have obtained legal advice. The insurance company does not work for you and is only interested in seeking a quick settlement. Too often, injured crash victims will settle their case for far less than its true value.
