Car & Truck Accident Attorneys

Car accidents can change everything in an instant. We're talking serious injuries like brain trauma, spinal damage, or broken bones that affect you for years. If you've been hurt, you know how overwhelming it can be. We can help you get through this and fight for the money you deserve.

Our team at The Podor Law Firm starts investigating right away. We handle car accident cases across the country, whether it's a fender bender that left you seriously hurt or something much worse.

Talk to Us First

Here's something important. If another driver caused your accident, call us before you talk to their insurance company. We see this mistake all the time. The insurance adjuster might call and sound friendly, saying they just want to hear your side of the story. Don't fall for it.

Everything you say to them can be twisted around to pay you less. They're not on your side. They want to save money, and that means giving you as little as possible. Once they have what they need, they'll offer you pennies on the dollar. That's why you need to call us first.

What We Handle

We see it all. Texting while driving, drunk drivers, people speeding through red lights, bad weather crashes, even accidents caused by faulty car parts or poorly maintained roads. Whatever caused your accident, we've probably handled a case like it before.

What You Deserve

You deserve compensation for everything this accident has cost you. Your medical bills now and in the future. The money you've lost from missing work. The pain you're going through. Your damaged car. If you need physical therapy or can't enjoy life like you used to, that matters too. We'll fight for all of it.

Why we can Help

We know what we're doing. We'll investigate everything, gather the evidence, bring in experts if we need them, and deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to. We'll figure out exactly what your case is worth and won't let them lowball you. If they won't pay what's fair, we'll take them to court. We've been doing this for decades and we know how to win.

Client Testimonial

"I reached out to Jesse when I was in a car accident based off of referral an I promise it was the best choice I could have made. He is ambitious and prompt, you aren't waiting around for responses or follow ups everything is just as important to him as the next client. Some of these huge firms that are advertised TV/radio they send you assistants and paralegals that are working under 10-15 attorneys. With this firm you're meeting the attorney he's sticking with you the whole way and you're not getting passed off to someone below him for the remainder. I promise you will not waste your time, he is the right call to make and it will get handled the right way the first time. He does not make promises he cannot keep he will not lead you on a hope or dream he will give it to you straight, you just have to be upfront with your attorney as well. Thank you Jesse for making the troubles from my accident seem so small after all was said and done. You took care of everything an more and gave me back a piece of mind an a piece of my life and freedom. I had a horrible experience previously with an attorney so I went in hesitant, I couldn't have been more thankful an proud to have chosen Podor Law!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a car accident should I contact an attorney? +

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after a car accident. The sooner you have legal representation, the better protected you'll be. Insurance companies often try to contact victims quickly to secure statements that may hurt their claims. Additionally, evidence like skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness memories can fade or disappear over time. Our attorneys can immediately begin preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and protecting your rights.

What if the accident was partially my fault? +

Both Ohio and Florida follow comparative negligence rules, which means you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. In Ohio, as long as you are less than 51% responsible, you can recover damages, although your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. In Florida, under the pure comparative negligence system, you can recover damages regardless of your percentage of fault, but your recovery will be proportionally reduced. Our attorneys can help determine liability and fight to minimize your assigned percentage of fault.

How much is my car accident case worth? +

The value of your car accident case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts on your life. Every case is unique, and we cannot provide an accurate estimate without reviewing the specific details of your situation. During your free consultation, our attorneys can evaluate your case and give you a better understanding of what compensation you might expect based on our experience with similar cases.

How long will my car accident case take to resolve? +

The timeline for resolving a car accident case varies significantly depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, severity of injuries, clarity of liability, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some straightforward cases may settle within 6-9 months, while more complex cases can take 1-3 years or longer. While we understand that waiting can be difficult, rushing a case often results in inadequate compensation. Our goal is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

What should I do immediately after a car accident? +

After a car accident, you should: (1) Ensure your safety and that of others involved; (2) Call the police and request medical assistance if needed; (3) Exchange information with the other driver(s); (4) Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries; (5) Gather contact information from witnesses; (6) Seek medical attention, even if you think your injuries are minor; (7) Report the accident to your insurance company, but provide only basic facts; (8) Do not give recorded statements to any insurance companies; (9) Keep records of all medical treatment and expenses; and (10) Contact Podor Law for a free consultation as soon as possible.
