Car, truck and motorcycle accidents that weren't your fault. We take on the insurance company so you get the full value of your claim, not their lowball offer.

A crash you did not cause can leave you with medical bills, time off work, a vehicle you cannot drive, and an insurance adjuster who wants the file closed as cheaply as possible.
That adjuster is not neutral. Their job is to pay out as little as your claim can be argued down to. Ours is the opposite: to establish what the claim is actually worth and to refuse the number that arrives first.
You were hurt in a car, truck or motorcycle collision in Ohio that was not your fault, or was not entirely your fault.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee: we are paid out of what we recover for you, and if we recover nothing, you owe us no fee. You will never get an hourly bill from us.
These are the case types we focus on. If what happened to you is on this list, it is work we do every day.
If you’ve been hurt in a vehicle accident in Ohio, you may be wondering whether you really need a lawyer, or what hiring one would even involve. When you call Casper, Casper & Casper, we start by listening to what happened and answering your questions. If we take your case, we get to work right away: we open the claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company (and your own, if needed), and we begin gathering the evidence that supports it, including the police report, photos, witness statements, and your medical and billing records. Because Ohio is an “at-fault” state, the strength of your claim depends on showing who caused the crash and how badly you were hurt. We work with your doctors to get clear medical opinions about your injuries, your treatment, and how the accident has affected your ability to work and live your life. Throughout the process, we handle all communications with the insurance adjusters, the other driver’s representatives, and anyone else involved, so you can focus on getting better instead of fielding phone calls and paperwork.
Once your treatment has progressed and we have a full picture of your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, we present a demand to the insurance company and negotiate on your behalf. Many cases are resolved through a fair settlement at this stage. If the insurance company refuses to offer what your claim is worth, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. In Ohio, you generally have only two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, so it’s important not to wait. If you’ve been injured, call our office for a free consultation. We’ll tell you honestly where your claim stands and how we can help.
These are vehicle claims, and no two of them are run the same way. Each has its own evidence, its own opponent and its own timetable, so each has a page of its own. If your collision is not one of these: a pedestrian, a cyclist, a rideshare passenger, a company vehicle, call us anyway. It is still a vehicle claim and we still handle it.
The everyday collision, where the argument is usually not about who ran the light but about how badly you were hurt, whether something was wrong with your back already, and how cheaply the file can be closed.
A different case entirely. Commercial carriers are federally regulated, their vehicles record what the driver was doing, and their insurers can have investigators at the scene the same day. Records that decide these cases may be lawfully destroyed on a schedule, so the first days matter more here than anywhere else.
Where the rider is assumed to be at fault before anyone has looked at the evidence. Injuries tend to be more serious and policy limits are more often too small, which makes establishing what actually happened the whole game.
Struck on foot, where the first move is usually to suggest you stepped out. What answers that is the physical evidence at the spot: sight lines, the position of the vehicle afterwards, the light, and any camera pointing the right way.
Where the driver says they never saw you, which is an explanation rather than a defense. Your own motor policy can matter here too, and people are often surprised by that.
Rideshare coverage turns on what the app was doing at the moment of the crash, and the trip data that settles it sits with the company rather than with you. It is worth asking for early.
Ohio holds an owner responsible in most circumstances, and the claim is usually against a homeowner or renter policy rather than against a neighbor personally.
Free consultation, no retainer, no hourly billing, whichever of the three you are dealing with. Our fee is a share of what we recover and is paid out of that recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
General information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. The only way to know where yours stands is to have someone look at it.
Nothing up front. Vehicle accident cases are handled on a contingency fee, which means our fee is a share of what is recovered for you and is paid out of that recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. The exact share depends on the case, and we will set it out in writing before you agree to anything. A free consultation costs you nothing and puts no obligation on you.
You are generally under no obligation to give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement, and it is worth being careful before you do. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that narrow a claim: about fault, about whether you were really hurt, about whether you had a prior condition. An early answer given casually can be quoted back at you months later. Speaking to a lawyer before you give a statement costs you nothing.
Whichever vehicle was involved in the collision that hurt you. That sounds obvious, but it matters: a crash with a commercial truck is investigated differently, on a much tighter timescale, and against a federally regulated opponent, while a motorcycle case turns on dismantling an assumption about the rider before anything else. Each has a page of its own going into the evidence and the deadlines that apply to it. If your collision does not fit any of them: a van, a company pickup, a rideshare, a pedestrian or a cyclist, call and we will tell you where it belongs. It is still a claim.
In Ohio, you generally have two years from the date of a vehicle accident to file a lawsuit for your injuries or property damage. For wrongful death claims, the two years runs from the date of death. If the injured person is a minor, the deadline usually doesn’t begin until they turn 18. Claims involving a government vehicle follow special rules. Accidents involving a city, county, or state vehicle are still generally subject to a two-year deadline, but they involve immunity laws, damage limits, and, for state claims, a separate court. Accidents involving federal vehicles, such as a postal truck, require a written administrative claim before any lawsuit can be filed. If you were hurt while on the job, a workers’ compensation claim must be filed within one year. Your own insurance policy may also require prompt notice of the accident. Because missing a deadline can end your claim entirely, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
That is worth asking rather than deciding on your own. Injuries that seem minor in the first week: a stiff neck, a sore shoulder, headaches, sometimes turn out to need months of treatment, and once a claim is settled it cannot be reopened for treatment you have not had yet. A short conversation will tell you whether there is anything here worth pursuing.
Then you may have two claims at once: a workers’ compensation claim through your employer, and a separate injury claim against the driver who caused it. They run alongside each other and are handled differently. This is one of the most commonly missed situations we see, and it is worth raising at the first conversation.
Get the offer looked at before you accept it. An early offer usually arrives before anyone knows the full medical picture, and accepting it ends the claim, including for treatment still to come. There is no cost to having someone read it, and no obligation attached to asking.
Usually your own health insurance or medical payments coverage, if you have it, with reimbursement dealt with at the end. The at-fault insurer does not generally pay bills as they arrive. This is one of the most stressful parts of an injury claim, and it is worth getting clear advice on early rather than letting bills go unpaid.
No. Nothing is lost by talking to the police, seeking treatment, or notifying your own insurer. The conversation to be careful about is a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer, which you are generally under no obligation to give.
Cars, commercial trucks, motorcycles, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, ride shares including Uber and Lyft, and dog bites. If what happened to you is on that list, it is work we do every day. If you are not sure whether yours fits, call and ask rather than assuming it does not.
Start with the one that matches what happened to you. Each goes into the evidence, the deadlines and the arguments particular to that kind of collision.
A crash that happens while you are working can be a workers' compensation claim and an injury claim at the same time. An injury that stops you working can become a disability claim.

Casper, Casper & Casper have always done an excellent job for us. We have used them once before and are now using them again and both times they have been super professional and always on top of our cases. Communication is easy and they are friendly and actually seem to care about the case.
I was very pleased with how the firm handled my case. They took care of everything and kept me inform through the entire process. There was not any surprises and the result was what I was expecting. I appreciate the care and time the firm took on my case.
