About Johnson & Associates
Toledo Personal Injury Attorney
Fighting for Injury Victims Since 1998
Our team at Johnson & Associates helps clients in northwest Ohio and throughout the state pursue justice in a wide range of matters.
Johnson & Associates, LLC is a personal injury law firm in Toledo, OH. Founded on January 4, 1998, the team at Johnson & Associates has more than 36 years of experience serving clients in Toledo and the surrounding communities of northwest Ohio. Attorney D. Lee Johnson is confident that he and his team can provide unmatched representation for your personal injury case in Toledo.
Attorney D. Lee Johnson holds several credentials proving his experience and commitment to fighting for clients in Ohio, including membership on the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct with the Ohio Supreme Court Board of Commissioners, membership in the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Lucas County Trial Lawyers Association, and certification from the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
Johnson & Associates has a strong record of success with difficult personal injury cases throughout Ohio. It is vital to remember that insurance companies are never on the side of the victim. These companies exist to generate and protect their profits, not to compensate the injured.
Our firm excels at holding these companies accountable when they refuse to be reasonable when handling injury claims. An injured victim needs legal counsel they can trust to level the playing field between them and an insurance company.

Who We Serve
When you are searching for an experienced personal injury lawyer to represent you, it’s crucial to choose one who has proven experience handling cases like yours. Johnson & Associates consistently provides responsive, client-focused legal counsel to many types of victims in Toledo and throughout northwest Ohio:
- We help car accident victims assess the scope of their losses, gather evidence to prove fault, and fight for their rights through all stages of their recovery efforts. You can trust us to confront an auto insurance company on your behalf; insurance companies are not your friends, and you should not expect them to offer a fair settlement unless you have legal counsel.
- Our firm excels at helping truck accident victims recover from these damaging accidents. While many truck accidents occur for the same reasons as other vehicle accidents, they tend to raise more difficult legal questions, and determining liability can be challenging. We have helped victims who have been injured in truck crashes on I-75, the Ohio Turnpike, and other major trucking corridors in the area.
- We help victims of negligent security pursue accountability. When you have been harmed by a criminal act on someone else’s property, we can assess whether the property owner’s negligence allowed the incident to happen. If so, we will not let them or their insurance company shift blame.
- We help victims of medical malpractice hold doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other medical professionals accountable when their negligence harms patients. Medical malpractice cases require following strict procedural rules, so it’s important that your attorney has proven experience handling these cases.
- When you have lost a family member unexpectedly due to another party’s negligence or misconduct, we can build a wrongful death claim on your behalf. You can trust us to fight to hold the defendant accountable for the fatal effects of their actions and secure the compensation you and your family need to adjust to your new circumstances.
The team at Johnson & Associates takes time to learn as much as we can about our client, their injury, and the effects the injury has had on their life to provide fully personalized legal representation. We believe in aggressively pursuing accountability and compensation for our clients, so when you need help building a complex personal injury case, you can trust the team at Johnson & Associates to fight for you through every step of your proceedings.
What to Expect When You Hire Us
When you are looking for a Toledo personal injury attorney to represent you, Johnson & Associates can provide the results-driven legal counsel you need in this challenging situation. During your initial free consultation, there is no pressure and no commitment; we will listen to your story, help you determine whether you have grounds for legal action, and then explain the services we provide that can assist with your recovery.
Once you hire our firm to represent you, we immediately begin investigating your case. We will seek to gather and preserve physical and digital evidence needed to establish fault for your injury, and we will draw upon our network of expert witnesses on retainer for the valuable professional insights they can provide that may help your case. We seek to obtain vital evidence and build the foundation of the case swiftly, before crucial evidence becomes unobtainable.
You can then rely on our team to handle all aspects of building your case, from compiling evidence, documentation, expert reports, and other materials to preparing your demand for compensation. Johnson & Associates does the work so our client can focus on their recovery, fighting for the outcome our client deserves.
We will seek to negotiate first, ideally securing a swift and fair settlement for our client, but when an insurance company refuses to play fairly, we take the case to court. D. Lee Johnson will handle this fight for you, aggressively pursuing accountability and compensation until you get the results you deserve.

Why Work With Us
Experienced legal counsel is an invaluable asset after a vehicle accident, an injury from negligent medical care, or any other personal injury. However, you should not only seek an attorney who has a strong record handling personal injury cases in your case, but also one who has proven experience resolving cases like yours.
Our firm not only offers aggressive and client-focused representation in a wide range of personal injury cases, but also a unique edge that few other firms can match. Johnson & Associates has a roster of expert witnesses on retainer, ready to provide their invaluable professional insights to some of the most complex cases we accept.
3D accident reconstruction specialists can help us prove exactly how a vehicle accident happened, identifying the driver responsible. Former Toledo Police Department and Ohio Highway Patrol officers can also leverage their experience to explain crash dynamics, helping us establish liability and hold at-fault drivers accountable for the damages they have caused.
In every case we accept, we leverage the full scope of our experience, skills, and professional resources to build the strongest possible case for our client. When you hire Johnson & Associates to represent you, you will not only have a dedicated legal representative fighting for you through every stage of your proceedings, but also access to expert witness testimony that can strengthen your claim.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Ohio?
A: In Ohio, you will typically have two years to file a personal injury claim, and this time limit starts on the date your injury happened. If you do not file your claim within this statute of limitations, then it will be thrown out of court regardless of its merits. Two years may sound like more than enough time, but it may take longer than you expect to build your case, so you should consult a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Personal Injury Case?
A: The time it takes to resolve a personal injury case varies based on multiple factors. If you hire experienced legal counsel right away after your accident, you are more likely to build a stronger case and more likely to resolve it quickly. Some cases can be resolved through private settlement negotiation outside of court, and this generally takes far less time than litigation. Settlement may take a few weeks to months, whereas litigation can take several months or longer in some cases.
What Is the Value of My Personal Injury Case in Toledo?
A: The value of your personal injury case in Toledo largely depends on the severity of the harm the defendant caused. Your personal injury attorney can help you claim compensation for economic losses like property damage, medical bills, and lost wages resulting from the accident, and a plaintiff also has the right to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. Your attorney can estimate the potential value of your claim.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney in Ohio?
A: The cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Ohio varies. The team at Johnson & Associates accepts personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge our client a fee after we secure compensation for them, and the contingency fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered. If there is no recovery for any reason, the client pays no fee, so this policy makes legal counsel accessible to you at no risk.
D. Lee Johnson and the team at Johnson & Associates have a strong record of success with a wide range of personal
injury cases in Toledo and the surrounding communities of northwest Ohio. If you believe another party is responsible for
harming you or a loved one, do not hesitate to reach out to legal counsel you can trust right away. Contact Johnson &
Associates today to schedule your free consultation with an experienced Toledo personal injury attorney.
