How a Circleville Truck Accident Lawyer Will Fight for You and Serve Your Needs
Circleville features two main roadways that commercial trucks typically frequent: US Highway 22, going west to east, and US 23, which goes north to south. With so much commercial traffic flowing through the city, accidents happen daily.
Whether a truck driver hits you due to fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, intoxication, or other negligent behavior, you have the right to collect compensation from the negligent party to cover your damages. The Fitch Law Firm LLC will work to hold the negligent party accountable and prove its liability for your injuries and financial losses by:
- Thoroughly investigating the specifics of your case.
- Collecting evidence to prove negligence, including police reports, witness statements, expert opinions, medical records, traffic camera footage, commercial driver’s logbooks, black box data, and photographs.
- Negotiating with the negligent party and their insurance provider for a fair settlement on your behalf.
- Preparing your case for trial so you can have your day in court if necessary to recover compensation.

Common Truck Accident Injuries
A commercial truck accident can have devastating lifelong effects. The size of these vehicles increases your risk of suffering severe injuries such as:

- Spinal cord injuries
- Neck injuries
These injuries could temporarily or permanently affect you and your family. Aside from physical injuries, you could suffer psychological injuries such as PTSD, nightmares, and depression.

Types of Damages a Circleville Truck Accident Attorney Can Recover
If you have physical or psychological injuries because of a negligent truck accident, a Circleville truck accident attorney from our firm can help you pursue compensation for damages.
Our case results demonstrate our proven record of recovering compensation for clients, with some of the highest verdicts in Ohio history. We’ll fight to maximize your settlement by seeking these damages.
Economic Damages
- Medical bills: Your injuries could require emergency care, surgery, and hospitalization, but you could also recover money for doctor appointments, medication, home care, and rehabilitation. Healthcare is costly and is the top cause of bankruptcy in the United States, per the American Bankruptcy Institute, so we’ll fight to get the money you need to pay your mounting bills.
- Lost income: We’ll seek lost income, raises, bonuses, and benefits due to being temporarily or permanently unable to work, and we’ll document your reduced earning capacity should your injuries disable you.
- Property damage: We’ll pursue money to repair or replace your vehicle and other damaged property, such as your phone.
- Child care: Do you have children who require supervision so you can make it to your medical and physical therapy appointments? Compensation can cover the cost of childcare services.
- Other expenses: You may require modifications to your home to help you adapt to your injuries, a service to maintain your home and yard, or even transportation to get around.
Evidence of your expenses includes billing invoices, receipts, pay stubs, and tax forms to determine the value of your compensation for economic damages.
Non-Economic Damages
We can evaluate the intangible losses you’ve suffered due to your accident, such as:
- Pain and suffering: Physical and emotional pain you experience because of your injuries.
- Emotional trauma: Mood swings, anxiety or stress, depression, and other upsetting emotions.
- Mental anguish: Nightmares, PTSD, distress, hopelessness, or the heartache of losing someone you love.
- Permanent disability: Your injuries could leave you with a physical or intellectual disability.
- Loss of companionship: You could claim compensation if your injuries negatively affect your relationships with friends and family.
Wrongful Death Damages
If a truck accident is responsible for the death of someone you love, you can claim wrongful death damages to cover the following:
- Loss of financial support
- Medical expenses
- Lost parental guidance
- Loss of companionship
- Funeral costs
We are heartbroken for you and your family if you lost someone you love in a truck accident and want to protect your future by handling your case. A Circleville wrongful death lawyer from our firm can explain more about how wrongful death lawsuits work in Ohio.
Our team will fight for a complete settlement to cover all your losses, but we urge you to act before the statute of limitations expires in your case. You only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
