Ohio’s two-year deadline for filing a motorcycle injury lawsuit begins when the injury occurs, not when you finally realize it. Under O.R.C. 2305.10, bodily injury claims generally accrue on the date of injury. A concussion that does not appear until day four does not get extra time. That’s a problem because many serious motorcycle accidents…
Most dashcams record in a loop. Unless someone saves the file, a clip showing who ran a red light can be overwritten within days, sometimes even hours. That’s how a lot of important video evidence disappears after an accident in Columbus. When footage survives, it can be the strongest evidence in an injury claim. It…
Columbus is currently rebuilding some of its most dangerous intersections, and the timing is important if you or someone you know was injured while walking or riding a motorcycle on one of these streets.

Columbus pedestrians are getting hurt at an alarming rate. In just the first three months of 2026, the Ohio State Highway Patrol recorded more than 400 pedestrian-related crashes statewide, including dozens of fatalities and serious injuries. Knowing your legal rights and practicing smart street habits will not make Columbus’ roads safe on their own –…
After suffering injuries in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, you might seek financial recovery for your expenses or losses through a personal injury claim. However, when you share some of the fault for an accident that injures you, Ohio’s comparative negligence rules can affect your case. Understanding comparative negligence in personal injury claims…

A question that arises during the personal injury claim process is if their future medical expenses can be included within the accident settlement. The answer is yes, and here’s how.
