U.S. Route 50 Through Athens

U.S Route 50, the major east-west highway that runs 3,000 miles all the way across the country, from Sacramento, CA to Ocean City, MD, is the major east-west highway through Athens. Near Athens, it becomes part of State Route 32, and is a four-lane divided highway until the Ohio River. The intersection of U.S. Route 50 at North Blackburn Road, on the south side of Athens, has been the location of numerous accidents of the years. The intersection is at the crest of a hill, where vehicles often approach very fast with limited sight distance of intersecting traffic. A fatal accident in April 2018 prompted requests for an intersection safety study, and questions of whether a traffic light needed to be installed, or speed limits changed.

Maximizing Compensation for Serious Injuries

From litigating personal injury cases in Ohio for more than 35 years, we see firsthand how the cases we handle affect our clients’ lives, and why recovering financial compensation is important for their future. Working together as a team alongside with top medical and accident reconstruction experts, we establish who is responsible for your injuries or a family member’s fatal accident, and determine all of the losses that occurred as a result (damages). This includes medical care expenses, from ambulance transport to hospitalization and follow-ups, as well as lost earnings, and pain and suffering. In the event the at-fault party and their insurer will not agree to a fair settlement, we will take the case to trial and fight for your legal rights in court. Unlike some law firms that are “settlement mills,” we do not solely settle cases. Every case is prepared to be litigated, if needed, and insurance companies are well aware of our reputation for trial prep.

This means you can have legal representation for your claim without having pay a lawyer up-front. Consultations with an attorney are always free. Call us today and see how we can help you.
