The lawyers at The Donahey Law Firm are committed to fighting to obtain justice and compensation for car accident injury victims in the Columbus area and throughout Ohio. We have been fulfilling this commitment for over 50 years.
Our Columbus car accident lawyers fights for answers, justice and compensation in cases involving automobile accidents that took place on I-70, I-270, I-670, I-71, I-77, I-275, I-80 and elsewhere throughout the state. With multiple offices, our Columbus auto accident lawyers have the flexibility to serve clients throughout the entire state of Ohio.
Motorists on Ohio's streets and highways share the road with 18 wheelers, tractor trailers and other large commercial vehicles every day. They also share the physical and financial consequences associated with being victims in some of the often fatal truck accidents that occur all too regularly.
Motor Vehicles - such as cars, motorcycles, smaller trucks, and others.
Driver Negligence - including uninsured or underinsured drivers, driver fatigue, drunk driving/DUI, speeding, and other careless actions.
Equipment Issues - such as tire blowouts, brake failure, load shifting, improper reflective markers, and more.
Negligent Truck Companies - including excessive driver hours and scheduling, improper transport logs, lax vehicle maintenance, and other dangerous practices.
Because of the size and weight differences between the vehicles in a serious semi truck accident, victims typically suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic head injury, spinal cord damage or paralysis. Many truck accidents can result in a wrongful death. Our Columbus truck accident lawyers team with medical specialists, financial experts, and life care planners to help ensure that clients receive settlements and awards that fairly offset the financial and emotional impact on their lives.
Motorcycle accidents often involve catastrophic injuries and property damage for the rider of the motorcycle. In an accident involving a car, motorcycle riders face a greatly increased risk of severe injuries due to the mass of the vehicle and the lack of protection the motorcycle offers. The Donahey Law Firm draws upon its 50 years of personal injury experience to provide motorcycle injury accident victims the ability to build compelling cases, designed to recover adequate financial compensation.
Because other vehicles involved are typically bigger and heavier, they risk greater injuries with long-term consequences. Common misperception of motorcyclists as thrill-seeking law breakers and all motorcycles as 'crotch rockets,' can bias insurance companies and juries when determining fault. Our experienced attorneys understand how to effectively address these issues and others crucial to building and litigating an effective case.
At The Donahey Law Firm, our Columbus uninsured motorist attorneys and underinsured motorist lawyers handle UM and UIM claims for people throughout the state of Ohio, including major cities such as Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, and everywhere in between. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you are not required to pay any attorney fees up front. Our compensation is based on the percentage of the amount of the compensation ultimately paid by your insurance company for your claim. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
By retaining an attorney for representation in your UM or UIM claim, you can be assured that your interests are being protected.

Drunk driving accidents demand justice.
If someone in your family was injured or killed by a drunk driver, you can trust the personal injury lawyers at The Donahey Law Firm to pursue every angle on your behalf. We work to establish liability of the impaired driver as well as other individuals or entities who contributed to the tragic outcome.
Whatever the reason for the crash, it is important that the negligent driver who caused your head-on collision be held responsible for your injuries or the accident death that resulted. We represent clients in negotiations and in court to seek compensation for spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, broken bones and other injuries.
The injuries that are frequently suffered in any car accident, especially a head-on collision, can be extremely devastating. In most cases where a car equipped with an airbag is hit head on, the airbags will deploy. While the airbags may save your life, you may suffer burns, bruises, a broken nose or other broken bones due to the forceful deployment of the airbag.
Though they are protected by various laws, pedestrians are frequently still in harm's way on Ohio's roads. Though drivers are required by law to yield to pedestrians, drivers are not taking the time to yield to these individuals who have the right of way. This can lead to serious accidents and result in permanent injuries or death.
If you have been rear-ended and have concerns about your rights, enlist the assistance of our experienced lawyers at The Donahey Law Firm in Columbus, Ohio. Our firm has extensive knowledge of the laws that govern all types of car accident cases, including rear end collisions. We strive to help clients pursue the compensation they deserve for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Being rear ended takes a serious toll on your body. Your head and neck can sustain muscle injuries and broken bones due to the forces that are in effect during a rear end accident. One of the most common injuries in a rear end accident is a whiplash injury, sometimes called cervical neck strain or sprain. Seatbelts can also cause broken collarbones and other broken bones and bruising.
In most cases, the liability for a rear-end collision rests with the person who rear ended the vehicle in front. This is because it is assumed that if the person had left enough distance between his or her car and the car in front, the crash would not have happened. Our firm can help you determine who is liable for your injuries and pursue compensation for the losses you have suffered.
In standard car accident cases, we are usually going up against the insurance company that represents the negligent driver. In commercial vehicle accidents, we will not only take on the insurance company that represents the driver, but also the company that employs the driver, as well as the company's insurer.
