A Collision of Interests
Alton & Barclay: Experienced Trial Lawyers for Ohio Car Accident Victims
Whether it involves a fatal car accident, a catastrophic motorcycle accident injury, or a devastating semi-truck wreck, the collision that matters now is the collision between competing interests: yours and that of the insurance company insuring the driver who hit you.
So what should you do if you have suffered a serious motor vehicle or car accident injury owing to the negligence of another driver?
The first rule of thumb is this: Don't assume that any insurance company is your friend, even if your auto insurance company is the only insurer involved. What you need to do is get immediate medical attention, report the accident, and make no statements or agree to anything with anyone until you've had the chance to speak with a lawyer.

Subrogation Claims for Medical Expenses
Sometimes government programs such as Medicare or Medicaid will pay the medical bills for an injured car accident victim, particularly when a victim's insurance refuses to pay or when medical costs exceed the amount of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage available.
If that person then goes on to receive a settlement or jury award related to the car accident, the government program that paid those medical bills will be aggressive in seeking reimbursement. In other words, it is possible for an injured plaintiff to win the battle and yet lose the war by having to give back nearly everything just to cover medical expenses.
Our attorneys can help you avoid this kind of problem. With over 30 years of experience each, John Alton and Craig Barclay understand how these government programs work and how to use tools like waivers, structured settlements and supplemental needs trusts to make certain that clients emerge from the legal process as financially well off as possible.
