Put Thirty Years of Experience To Work For You - Columbus Auto Accident Lawyer Scott Elliot Smith

Car accidents on Central Ohio roads and highways are common, whether you are in Franklin County, Delaware County, Licking County, Fairfield County, Pickaway County, Madison County or Union County. Columbus car accident lawyer Scott Elliot Smith has been representing personal injury accident victims throughout the region for more than thirty years. He can put that familiarity with local roads and highways and the dangers they may present to work for you.

An aggressive Columbus car accident attorney familiar with the causes of car accidents can ease the burden on you and your loved ones during the difficult times following an accident. You likely have your hands full with medical appointments, police investigators and dealing with insurance companies. Chances are good that the person at fault in the accident - whether they were texting, speeding or just not paying attention to the road - is not going to admit any responsibility for your trauma. In fact, they probably are working hard to shift the burden to you. Scott Elliot Smith knows how respond to every challenge posed by a personal injury automobile accident in Central Ohio. He has obtained compensation and closure for victims of hit and run accidents, drunk driving accidents and other serious cases of negligence.

How a Car Accident Attorney in Columbus Can Help You

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a personal injury car accident, you need time to heal physically, emotionally and mentally. You need time to put your life back in order - to return to work, to repair or replace your damaged vehicle, to find a sense of justice in the chaos. Scott Elliot Smith can help remove some of the worry by securing compensation for your losses, as well as for your pain and suffering. His law office offers a free, confidential initial consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis. In other words, we don't collect a penny from you until we win a financial settlement on your behalf. You have nothing to lose - and so much to gain - by calling today.

What You Should Know About Ohio Car Accidents

The police in Central Ohio investigate hundreds of crashes every month. That represents a tremendous caseload for law enforcement agencies and the courts. They simply do not have either the staff or the time to give each case thorough attention. Details may go unnoticed by overworked personnel. The Smith Law Office knows how to find the facts that will give your case the best chance for justice and a fair financial settlement for you and your loved ones.

Too often, insurance adjusters are not looking out for your best interests. Even your own insurance company is more interested in its own bottom line than it is in writing you a large settlement check, even if you deserve it. For more than three decades, Scott Elliot Smith has been standing up to insurance companies on behalf of clients who are suffering through physical, emotional and mental trauma.

Auto accidents in Central Ohio can lead to a variety of serious injuries, including:

  • Broken bones
  • Neck and back pain
  • Concussion or other traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injury or paralysis
  • Internal injuries requiring surgery
  • Facial and other head injuries
  • Burn injuries

We know where to look for evidence that proves the other driver's negligence was responsible for the accident that left you injured. Scott Elliot Smith reviews all documents related to the crash, including accident reports and medical records. He identifies witnesses and interviews them himself. If needed he'll bring in experts, such as an accident reconstruction expert. He builds a strong case that the insurance company can't simply ignore to pursue the compensation you deserve.
