Car accidents happen in moments, but their impact can last for months or years. At Hoover Kacyon, LLC, we help clients focus on where they’re going, not what they’ve been through. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, structure, and clarity so you can move forward with strength after a collision.
Whether you're recovering from a rear-end crash, a distracted driving accident, or a serious highway collision, we’re here to help you secure the compensation and care you need. Our car accident attorneys serve clients throughout Akron, Canton, and Northeast Ohio with personal attention and reliable legal guidance.
Understanding Ohio Car Accident Law
Ohio allows injured drivers and passengers to seek compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. These cases are often built on evidence such as police reports, photographs, medical records, and witness statements. Insurance companies will investigate and determine fault, which can affect whether your claim is accepted and how much compensation you’re offered.
Ohio follows comparative negligence rules. If you’re found partially at fault, your recovery may be reduced but not denied unless you’re more than 50 percent responsible. Our firm works to present your case clearly, minimize unjust blame, and hold the correct party accountable.
We help with a wide range of car accident claims. These include situations involving distracted driving, such as texting behind the wheel or unsafe multitasking. Many of our clients are recovering from rear-end and intersection collisions that result in whiplash, head trauma, or long-term pain. We also handle claims involving rideshare or delivery drivers where responsibility can be unclear. In more serious cases, we represent victims of crashes caused by drunk or drug-impaired drivers. We are also experienced in accidents involving multiple vehicles where establishing fault requires detailed analysis and legal care.
What to Expect When Filing a Car Accident Claim
After a car accident, your focus should be on recovery. Once your medical needs are addressed, the legal process begins by notifying the at-fault driver’s insurance company and gathering the documentation needed to support your claim. This includes the crash report, medical records, photos of the scene, repair estimates, and proof of any lost wages or expenses.
Even with these materials in hand, the process can be overwhelming. Insurers may dispute fault or minimize your injuries. That is where we come in. At Hoover Kacyon, LLC, we manage every step from evidence collection to negotiations so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Ohio law allows you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Your recovery is reduced based on your level of responsibility. We help ensure your role is accurately assessed and your claim stays strong.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Ohio?
You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Acting sooner allows us to preserve evidence and strengthen your case from the beginning.
Should I speak to the other driver’s insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters may use your statements to lower or deny your claim. We handle all communication on your behalf to prevent misunderstandings and protect your position.
What compensation can I seek after a car crash?
You may be eligible for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage. We evaluate all your losses and present a claim that reflects your full experience.
Can I still make a claim if I don’t have health insurance?
Yes. We can help you access care through providers who work on a lien basis. This means they are paid from your eventual settlement. You do not need insurance to get help or pursue a claim.
