Columbus & Cincinnati, Ohio Truck Accident Lawyers
As a regional crossroads, Columbus is constantly supplied with goods via semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles. This traffic has a downside — frequent truck accidents. At Callinan & Wisecup, we can help you and your family following a serious truck accident. We have recovered millions of dollars in damages for injured clients and are capable of aggressively and thoroughly pursuing your claim for rightful compensation.
Commercial drivers in Columbus are held to a much higher standard of driving proficiency. If you are injured because a professional driver did not do what they were supposed to, you are entitled to compensation for the damage they caused. Depending on the situation, multiple parties may be liable after a truck accident. An in-depth investigation by our Columbus truck accident lawyers can help you determine which parties are responsible.
What You Should Do After a Truck Accident in Columbus or Cincinnati
No matter how safe of a driver you are, you can still get into an accident. When this happens, the initial steps you take may impact your ability to recover financial compensation. To protect yourself and your loved ones, follow these crucial steps:
- Stay at the scene of the car accident.
- Check yourself and others for injuries.
- Report the accident to local law enforcement.
- Request medical attention from Columbus first responders at the scene if needed.
- Ask responding officers for a traffic accident report.
- Exchange contact information with the other driver.
- Look for witnesses and request their contact information.
- Take pictures of visible injuries and the automobile accident scene.
- Contact your automobile insurance company to report the auto collision immediately.
- Be consistent with medical treatment, including following orders from your doctor.
- Do not post about the accident on social media until your claim has been resolved.

You can seek compensation for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Diminished earning capacity
- Temporary or permanent loss of wages
- Pain and suffering as a result of injuries sustained in the accident
- Loss of loved one as a result of a wrongful death
Compensation generally falls under three categories:
- Economic Damages - items that can be assigned an actual dollar amount, such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and cost for ongoing rehabilitative services.
- Non-Economic Damages - intangible elements, such as future lost earnings, pain and suffering, or the costs of recovering from distress with grief or emotional counseling.
- Punitive Damages – in rarer cases, punitive damages may be awarded if it can be proven that the at-fault driver knowingly ignored safety laws or displayed malicious, dangerous driving that resulted in the accident.
To ensure that the right person and/or entity is held responsible and you receive fair compensation after your truck accident, don’t take on your legal challenges alone. Contact us today and learn how our Columbus truck accident legal experience can work for you.
How Callinan & Wisecup Can Help Columbus & Cincinnati Truck Accident Victims
At Callinan & Wisecup, our team will gather evidence from the scene of the accident (if possible), talk to any witnesses who may have seen what happened, take photos of your vehicle and the other vehicle, obtain your medical records, and work with the trucking company and their insurance adjusters on your behalf. What’s more, we can begin gathering other critical evidence, such as the truck’s dashboard camera footage, black box records, the driver’s cell phone records, and more.
We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to work with the insurance company alone. These adjusters will often do everything they can to dispute or deny your claim; you could unwittingly make a mistake that ultimately costs you part or all of your rightful recovery. Instead, contact Callinan & Wisecup and speak to one of our accident attorneys about your legal rights and options. We do not charge any attorneys’ fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf, and your initial consultation is entirely free and confidential.
