Personal InjuryAttorneys Serving Norwood

Since 2005, our personal injury lawyers in Norwood, Ohio, have represented clients that have been injured by the wrongdoing of others. We have the resources and knowledge to take on personal injury cases, including:

• Truck accidents – Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds if the trailer contains a full cargo load. The occupants of a smaller vehicle typically sustain catastrophic injuries during a collision with a large truck.
• Rental scooter accidents – Scooters might seem like a fun mode of transportation, but they can be hazardous. Some roadways don’t have designated bicycle lanes for scooter riders, placing them at risk of injury in an accident with a motor vehicle.
• Dog bites – Dogs can cause severe damage during an attack. Infections are common following a bite due to the bacteria that live in a dog’s mouth. The owner could be held liable for the victim’s injuries under the strict liability law.
• Premises liability – Property owners should always offer a safe place for guests to visit. However, a lack of repairs and inadequate maintenance can create dangerous conditions, increasing the risk of injury.
• Car accidents – Car accidents are often the result of driver inattention or error. In 2023, 1,067 car accidents in Ohio resulted in fatalities.
• Slip and falls – A slip and fall can happen for various reasons. The property owner could be at fault for the hazardous conditions, whether due to a slippery floor, obstructed walkway, or poor lighting.
• Bicycle accidents – Bicyclists often share the road with motor vehicle drivers. Even if there’s a bike lane for riders to use, they still travel alongside cars and trucks. A dangerous error or split second of inattention can cause a motorist to drift into the bicycle lane, sideswiping a biker.
• Motorcycle accidents – In 2024, there were 230 motorcyclist fatalities in Ohio. Even if riders take the necessary safety precautions, there’s nothing to protect them from other vehicles and flying debris during a collision.
• Rental bike accidents – Rental bikes are convenient and affordable transportation options for residents and tourists. Unfortunately, a defective bike, reckless motorist, or another contributing factor could result in a severe accident.
• Product liability – Manufacturing companies must meet quality and safety standards when providing the public with products. During the design, construction, or marketing phase, errors can place defective products in the hands of consumers, leading to injuries and death.
• Pedestrian accidents – Some drivers ignore pedestrians who are proceeding through an intersection or crosswalk. Others don’t notice someone trying to cross the street because of a distraction. Either way, pedestrians are at an increased risk of death during collisions with vehicles.
• Wrongful death – If someone’s negligence leads to a person’s death, the surviving family can seek compensation for the losses they suffered from the at-fault party.
