Auto, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents

According to the Department of Transportation, there is enough state, county and municipal roadway in Ohio to circle the globe four and half times. That's 113,000 miles of asphalt and gravel.

Unfortunately, that number goes hand-in-hand with some more sobering statistics. On average there are three fatal car, truck or motorcycle crashes each day in Ohio, according to DOT estimates. Many more are injured or suffer a loss of property due to auto accidents.

Financial compensation may be available in these cases, but victims should always hire a qualified, professional law firm to help them with any traffic accident case involving injury or death.

The skilled attorneys at Miraldi & Barrett Co. have spent more than 60 years fighting for the rights of people injured on the roads of Northern Ohio. People living in and around the Cleveland area should know they don't have to look to downtown Cleveland to retain top notch legal representation in their Ohio car, truck or motorcycle accident law suits.

Our experience doesn't cost more.

If you've been hurt or a loved one has been injured or killed in an auto wreck in Northern Ohio, call us at 1 800 589 3023 for a free consultation. With us, there is no attorney fee or cost unless we recover money damages for your injuries. 

Common sites in Ohio for car, truck and motorcycle crashes include:

 

  • Ohio car wrecks

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), Ohio was among the most dangerous states for drivers in 2007.

In cases that involve serious injury or even death, the need for an attorney is obvious. But even in cases involving clear fault, insurance companies will often dispute liability and the extent of your injuries.  People involved in an Ohio car wreck can trust us to guide them through the process.

 

  • Ohio Truck Accidents

According to the DOT, Ohio boasts the fifth highest volume of truck traffic in the United States.  Accidents that involve 18 wheelers, tractor trailers or even small trucks often create a set of legal circumstances different from a standard car crash.

For victims, truck crashes often result in serious injury or loss of life and legal issues that result can include multi-party liability, filing suit against a company or even criminal charges. In Ohio, a set of unique laws govern semi trucks and other commercial vehicles. You need a tough-minded, competent attorney to help you. We at Miraldi and Barrett can provide that help.

 

  • Ohio Motorcycle Accidents

Like most states, Ohio has a set of strict laws for motorcyclists. While most passionate riders view their bikes as a necessary expression of personal freedom, they're also conscientious stewards of the road. Unfortunately, other drivers sometimes aren't so careful.

The potential for injury in a motorcycle wreck is obviously great. If you or a family member have been injured or killed while riding a motorcycle, our team of lawyers will understand your situation and respond quickly to your needs.

With a focus on individual attention, Miraldi & Barrett Co. gets results.

We've obtained significant verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients in car, truck and motorcycle accident cases, including:

  • Caps On Damages Restrict Injured Person's Right To Receive Full Damages   
    Description: Responding to the concerns of the insurance industry, the Republican-dominated Ohio legislature in 2005 enacted damage limitations effective April 7, 2005. This statute takes away a jury's right to award the full amount of money for pain, scarring, permanent limitations, and other non-economic or intangible losses. In many cases, these losses are limited to $250,000 regardless of the amount the jury believed the person was entitled to recover.
  • Basic Guide to Auto Insurance Coverages After A Car Crash   
    Description: When a person is involved in a car crash, there are several types of insurance coverages that may be involved. This article explains liability, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, and medical payments coverage.
  • Losses and recoveries when your car has been damaged   
    Description: When your car is damaged or deemed a total loss because of a collision, you are entitled to certain damages for the loss of your car. This may be the cost of repairs, the cost of a reasonable rental vehicle or if your car is a total loss, the difference between the fair market value immediately before the crash and the fair market value immediately after the collision. If you buy a replacement car within thirty days, you will be entitled to a recovery of sales tax, too.
  • Liability Insurance Policy - The Family Member Exclusion   
    Description: Insurance companies are including exclusions that take away any coverage for injuries sustained when a family member is negligent in operating a vehicle and injures another family member who is a passenger in the same vehicle. Although Ohio consumers believe that they are buying full coverage that would protect them in this situation, this is not the case.
