Serving Westerville Drivers and Passengers
Westerville sits on the northeastern edge of Columbus, spanning both Franklin and Delaware counties. The city's rapid growth along the Polaris corridor and continued development near I-270 and SR-3 drive significant daily traffic — making crashes involving commuters, commercial vehicles, and rideshare drivers a common occurrence.
Our office is in downtown Columbus, roughly 20 minutes from Westerville via I-270. We meet clients in person, by phone, or by video — whichever works best after an injury. We handle the entire claim from the first call to the insurer through trial if needed.

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.
Where will the case be filed?
Cases involving Westerville crashes may be filed in Franklin County or Delaware County Common Pleas Court depending on the crash location. We handle the filing and all court appearances.
