Car Accident Lawyers Serving Wheeling and the Ohio Valley
Injured in a Car Accident? Bordas & Bordas Can Help.
A serious car accident can leave you facing painful injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about the future. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to seek compensation from the responsible party.
The attorneys at Bordas & Bordas have recovered significant verdicts and settlements for accident victims throughout the Ohio Valley and Pittsburgh. Our firm has won landmark cases against major automobile manufacturers, including DaimlerChrysler and Honda, and has secured notable results in cases such as Clegg v. Geiser, Marshall v. Nationwide, Doe v. Driver, and Bonar v. Driver.
How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim?
Taking prompt legal action after a car accident is important. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio law impose strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits, and waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation.
In many cases, injured victims have only two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline can result in your case being dismissed, regardless of its merits.
Additionally, delaying action can make it more difficult to preserve evidence, locate witnesses, and negotiate effectively with insurance companies. An experienced car accident attorney can ensure that all deadlines are met while you focus on your recovery.

Common Causes of Car Accidents
Car accidents come in many different forms, including rear-end collisions, front-end collisions, side-impact accidents, and multi-vehicle wrecks. Though every case is unique, driver negligence is often a contributing factor.
Our attorneys frequently handle accident claims involving:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Failure to yield
- Reckless driving
- Following too closely
Not all accidents are caused by driver error. Defective vehicle components, poorly designed roadways, inadequate maintenance, and dangerous weather conditions can also contribute to serious collisions.
A thorough investigation is often necessary to determine exactly what caused a crash and identify all responsible parties.
