Franklin County recorded 24,005 traffic crashes in 2024 — the highest of any county in Ohio — according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol crash database. East Broad Street through the Near East Side, Cleveland Avenue through Linden, and South High Street through South Columbus are among the corridors with consistent high-crash volume in Franklin County crash data. When insurance companies receive your claim after a Columbus crash, they immediately work to pay you as little as possible — including pushing your fault percentage to 51% or higher to eliminate your claim under Ohio's comparative negligence rule. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From East Broad Street through the Near East Side to Cleveland Avenue through Linden to South High Street through South Columbus — we know where Columbus's most dangerous crashes happen and how to build a case around them. When our clients end up at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center — central Ohio's Level I Trauma Center — or OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital after a serious crash, we know those facilities and what that treatment means for the value of your case. Those accidents cause real damage to Columbus families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Franklin County may use Ohio's comparative negligence rules to push your fault to 51% or higher and wipe out your claim entirely. We know how to leverage the justice system in Franklin County courts to fight back and get you what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT OHIO LEGAL INFORMATION — CAR ACCIDENTS
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of the accident under ORC § 2305.10(A).
At-Fault State: Ohio is an at-fault state. The at-fault driver's insurer is the primary source of recovery for your injuries.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar under ORC § 2315.33. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover. If 50% or less at fault, recovery is reduced by your fault percentage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Ohio requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage; you can decline in writing. UM/UIM can be critical if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.
Insurance Minimums: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident BI liability; $25,000 property damage required.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies in Ohio may make early low offers while pushing your fault to 51% or higher to eliminate your claim. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight to establish the accurate picture of fault and pursue the full recovery.
