your case is personal. our approach is too.

If you’ve been involved in an auto accident in Ohio, taking the right steps can protect both your health and your claim:

1. Call 911 - Report the accident immediately.

2. Remain at the Scene - Leaving the scene can have legal consequences. Stay until law enforcement arrives.

3. Exchange Information - Get the other driver’s name, contact details, insurance information, and license plate number.

4. Document the Scene - Take photos of the vehicles, roadway, visible injuries, and anything else that may help establish fault.

5. Seek Medical Attention - Some injuries may not show symptoms right away. Prompt treatment helps your recovery and supports your case.

6. Notify Your Insurance Company - Report the accident, but avoid recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.

7. Contact DeGeorge & Polverini - Before dealing with insurance adjusters, talk to an experienced attorney who can protect your rights.

Ohio follows a comparative negligence system, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault—as long as you were less than 51% responsible. However, insurers may attempt to undervalue your claim or shift blame. That’s where we come in.
