Introduction

Thomas A. Skidmore has spent more than 23 years representing people who have been seriously injured, building his Akron firm around a single consistent focus: clients whose injuries are severe enough to require sustained legal advocacy over the course of a claim or litigation. The firm, Thomas A. Skidmore Co., L.P.A., operates from The Andrew House at 655 W. Market Street in Akron and covers the Cleveland, Akron, and Canton corridor of northeastern Ohio.

The practice is direct in scope: personal injury, car accidents, truck accidents, and wrongful death. Skidmore has handled these matters for over two decades, developing the depth of experience that injury clients need when the stakes involve significant physical harm, long-term treatment costs, or the loss of a family member.

Practice Areas

Personal Injury

Personal injury is the core of the firm’s practice. Skidmore represents clients who have been seriously injured by another party’s negligence or misconduct. The firm’s focus on serious injuries, rather than the full spectrum of minor to major claims, reflects a practice model built around cases where the legal work matters most.

Car Accidents

Vehicle crashes represent a significant portion of the firm’s caseload. Ohio’s roadways produce accidents ranging from rear-end collisions to high-speed multi-vehicle incidents. For clients who have suffered serious injuries in car accidents, the firm handles the legal claim from initial evaluation through resolution, whether by settlement or trial.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucking accidents typically involve more complex liability questions than standard passenger vehicle collisions. Federal regulations governing hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualification add layers to these cases, as does the involvement of corporate trucking companies and their insurers. Skidmore handles these matters for the injured parties in northeastern Ohio.

Wrongful Death

When a family member is killed as a result of another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct, surviving family members may have the right to bring a wrongful death claim. The firm handles these cases with the particular gravity they require, pursuing accountability and compensation for families who have suffered an irreversible loss.
