What to Do After a Personal Injury in Toledo
The steps you take immediately after an injury can have a major impact on your health and your future legal claim. In general, you should:
- Seek medical attention right away. Even if your injuries seem minor, get evaluated as soon as possible. Some injuries, such as concussions and internal bleeding, may not produce visible symptoms right away. Toledo is home to several hospitals equipped to treat a wide range of injuries, including: ProMedica Toledo Hospital, Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center, and the University of Toledo Medical Center. Medical records can also link your injuries to the incident, which will be critical for your claim.
- Report the incident. If you were in a car accident, call the police and make sure an official report is filed. For workplace injuries, notify your employer immediately and file a First Report of Injury with the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. For injuries on someone else’s property, report the incident to the property owner or manager.
- Document everything you can. If you are physically able, take photos and videos of the scene, your injuries, any hazardous conditions, vehicle damage, and anything else that may be relevant. Collect the names and contact information of the other parties involved and any witnesses. Save all medical records, bills, receipts, and correspondence related to your injury.
- Request a copy of any official reports. If your injury involved a traffic accident in Toledo, you can request a copy of the accident report through the Toledo Police Department’s online portal. You can also check the Lucas County Sheriff’s Records Request site or the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Crash Ordering System.
- Be cautious with insurance companies. You may be contacted by an insurance adjuster shortly after your injury. Remember that adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Avoid giving recorded statements, accepting early settlement offers, or signing any documents before speaking with an attorney. Early offers are often far lower than what your case is actually worth.
- Consult a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Evidence may disappear and memories fade quickly. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better positioned you will be. At Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy, our Toledo personal injury attorneys can begin investigating your case immediately.

Understanding Personal Injury Laws in Toledo, Ohio
At Nurenberg Paris, it’s our goal to handle every aspect of the legal process for you. However, we also believe it’s important for our clients to understand the basics of personal injury law in Ohio.
- Statute of Limitations: In Ohio, you have two years from the date of an accident or injury to file a claim for compensation. However, it’s important to act as soon as possible. Evidence can disappear and witnesses can become more difficult to locate or contact. The sooner you call a lawyer, the better.
- Comparative Negligence: Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that if you are found partially responsible for the incident that caused your injuries, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, as long as you are less than 50% responsible, you can still recover damages.
- Damages Available: After an accident in Ohio, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. Punitive damages may also be available in cases of extreme misconduct to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar actions in the future
