Ohio Personal Injury Attorneys

If you were involved in an automobile collision and suffered injuries, you might have a claim against the other driver. If you were a passenger, you could have a claim against either or both drivers. However, motor vehicle claims aren’t always limited to the drivers. For example, if the claim involves someone who was driving as part of their job, such as a truck driver or a salesperson, you could have a legal claim against their employer. Or if poor roadway maintenance contributed to the collision, you could have a claim against the government or the responsible contractor. Often, highway collisions result from defects in the vehicle itself. In these cases, you could have a products liability claim. A Burg Simpson personal injury attorney can evaluate your specific situation to identify any of these claims.

If you are harmed by the intentional or careless driving of another, you can hold them responsible. Call Burg Simpson’s Cincinnati, Ohio office at 513-852-5600 and speak with a personal injury lawyer now or fill out our Free Case Evaluation Form.

When you set off for a bike ride or walk, you expect that motor vehicle operators will act reasonably to prevent causing you any harm. Unfortunately many drivers do not. In 2015, for example, nearly 5,400 pedestrians and more than 800 bicyclists died in motor vehicles crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Unlike anyone in a motor vehicle, cyclists and pedestrians do not have the benefit of a car’s protective features, and as a result, are far more likely to be critically injured or killed on the road when they are struck. However, simply because they lack the protection offered by a car, does not mean they deserve anything but the full protection of the law.

If you or a family member has been seriously hurt in a collision with a motor vehicle, our personal accident and injury lawyers can help. Contact the Cincinnati office of Burg Simpson by calling 513-852-5600

When you drop your children off at daycare before heading to work, you have faith that the daycare facility and its staff will keep your child safe. You’re counting on the daycare professionals to provide careful supervision of your child. You pay them to act reasonably to ensure your child returns to you better than when you left them. But if this trust is broken and your child suffers a serious injury at daycare, there can be significant lasting physical and emotional pain for your entire family. Speak with an daycare injury attorney to get the help you need.

While accidents can strike under the best of circumstances, they are particularly painful when they take place in a daycare setting, where the children are under the care of trained professionals whose job is to keep them safe. When a child’s injury is caused or even made worse by a daycare provider’s failure to deliver appropriate care, or to take sufficient precautions against foreseeable harm, the daycare could be liable.

If your child has been seriously harmed in a daycare accident, the daycare injury lawyers at Burg Simpson Ohio are there to help.

Property owners are required to maintain their land, buildings, structures, and surrounding areas to certain standards. Property management companies, maintenance companies, snow removal companies or others also might be responsible if they fail to safely maintain property, structures, or equipment. Negligence in maintaining property can lead to dangerous conditions and cause serious events, such as falls, fires, explosions, and drowning. Often, the property owner has a heightened duty to protect anyone invited on their property from such risks.

If you’ve been hurt while on someone else’s property, you can hold them responsible.

Farm work consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous jobs in America. As recently as 2015, it placed fourth on the Department of Labor’s list of most dangerous occupations. The country’s more than 2 million agricultural employees are constantly working with heavy equipment and livestock. Transportation incidents, led by tractor rollovers, are the single most lethal hazard that farm workers face, killing about 100 of them every year. The best way to protect these workers is to equip tractors with Roll-Over Protection Structures that safeguard the operator in the case of a rollover. But less than 60 percent of the country’s tractors are equipped with these devices.

If you’ve been seriously injured in a tractor rollover accident, the Ohio and Kentucky personal injury lawyers at Burg Simpson can help.

Trucking accidents are unlike other motor vehicle accidents. Because of their immense size and weight, tractor-trailer trucks can cause extensive damage to just about anything that crosses their path. This includes passenger vehicles and the people inside them. When a collision like this happens, injuries can quickly turn fatal.

Trucking companies have a responsibility to monitor their drivers and maintain their equipment. Drivers who do not adhere to their specific licensing responsibilities or trucking laws, or who were driving carelessly, can also be found at fault.

If you’ve been seriously injured in a trucking accident, the trucking accident injury lawyers at Burg Simpson in Cincinnati can help. Multiple parties may be found to be at-fault for a trucking accident, including the trucking company, the person who was driving the truck at the time, and even the manufacturer of the truck or its assembled parts.
