    Auto Accident Lawyer Hilliard, Ohio

    Crashes on I-270, Roberts Road, SR-33, and Hilliard-Rome Road happen daily in Hilliard. Latif Law represents drivers and passengers injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout Hilliard and the northwest Columbus corridor. Flat 33% contingency — no fee unless we recover.

    Serving Hilliard Drivers and Passengers

    Hilliard is one of the most rapidly growing communities in Franklin County. The I-270 outerbelt cuts through its eastern edge, SR-33 feeds commuters toward downtown Columbus, and Roberts Road serves as the main commercial spine — each generating heavy daily traffic and a steady share of collisions. Hilliard-Rome Road and Cemetery Road corridors see frequent rear-end and intersection crashes, especially during school-zone hours near Hilliard Davidson and Hilliard Bradley High Schools.

    Our office is in downtown Columbus, roughly 15 minutes from Hilliard via I-270. We meet clients in person, by phone, or by video — whatever works best after an injury. We handle everything from the first call to the insurer through trial if needed.

    Common Hilliard Crash Locations

    I-270 Outerbelt (Hilliard segment)

    High-speed multi-vehicle collisions, rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic, and merge-zone accidents near the SR-33 and US-40 interchange exits.

    Roberts Road Corridor

    Heavy commercial traffic generates frequent left-turn and rear-end collisions near Rings Road, Scioto Darby Road, and the US-33 overpass approach.

    SR-33 / Hilliard-Rome Road

    One of the highest-crash intersections in northwest Columbus — confusing lane configurations and high speeds contribute to angle and turning crashes.

    Cemetery Road

    School-zone and residential traffic collides with commuter flows during peak hours, particularly near Britton Parkway and the Hilliard school campus area.

    Britton Parkway / Davidson Road

    Growing commercial development increases turning-movement conflicts and pedestrian exposure at retail center driveways.

    US-40 (Main Street) through Hilliard

    Older commercial strip with closely spaced driveways and high pedestrian and cyclist activity — a common location for driveway and crosswalk crashes.

    What to Do After a Crash in Hilliard

    Do not admit fault and do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Adjusters are trained to lock you into early statements before your symptoms are fully known. Email info@latif.legal for a free 15-minute phone consultation before you speak with any insurer.

    Call 911 — Hilliard Division of Police or OSHP will respond depending on location
    Get medical attention even if you feel 'just sore' — delayed symptoms are common
    Photograph all vehicles, the crash scene, and any visible injuries
    Exchange insurance and contact information with every driver involved
    Get names and contact info of witnesses before they leave the scene
    Note nearby cameras (gas stations, retail centers on Roberts Rd, traffic cams)
    Keep every medical bill, work-absence note, prescription receipt, and repair estimate
    Don't sign anything from the at-fault insurer before talking to a lawyer

    How the Claim Process Works

    1

    Free Consultation

    Email info@latif.legal to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. We review the facts, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim.

    2

    Investigation & Evidence Gathering

    We collect the police report, crash scene photos, surveillance footage, medical records, and witness statements. For I-270 or SR-33 crashes, dashcam and traffic camera footage can be critical — we move quickly to preserve it before it is overwritten.

    3

    Demand & Negotiation

    Once your treatment stabilizes, we calculate your full damages — medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future costs — and send a demand to the at-fault insurer. Most cases resolve at this stage.

    4

    Filing Suit If Necessary

    If the insurer refuses a fair offer, we file in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. We prepare every case for trial from day one, which typically produces better settlement outcomes.

    How long do I have to file a claim?

    Two years from the date of the accident under Ohio R.C. §2305.10. Don't wait — evidence and witness memory disappear quickly.

    What if the other driver was uninsured?

    If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, that coverage applies. Ohio law prohibits your insurer from raising your rates for using UM coverage.

    What if I was partly at fault?

    Ohio uses modified comparative negligence. You can still recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault (R.C. §2315.33).
