U.S. Route 50 Through Athens: A Common Site of Car Accidents

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 over the years. The intersection is at the crest of a hill, where vehicles often approach very fast with limited sight distance of intersecting traffic.

Maximizing Compensation for Personal Injury Victims

From litigating personal injury cases in Ohio for more than 35 years, we’ve seen firsthand how the cases we handle affect our clients’ lives and why pursuing compensation is important for their future.

Working together as a team along with top medical and accident reconstruction experts, we gather evidence, 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).

Damages can include medical care expenses, from ambulance transport to hospitalization and follow-ups, as well as lost earnings, and pain and suffering.

In the event that the at-fault party and their insurance company 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. We have top-rated trial attorneys who are prepared for litigation and will do whatever it takes to hold negligent parties accountable. 

No Fees Unless We Win

All cases at our firm are handled on a contingency fee basis. If we represent you, there is no risk on your part, and there are no fees unless we recover money for you. This means you can have legal representation for your claim without having to pay a lawyer up front. Consultations with an attorney are always free. Call us today at 614-222-4444 and see how we can help you.
