Car Accidents

If you've been injured in an auto accident, there are many things you can do to preserve your right to full compensation. It is important to follow your doctor's treatment recommendations. This is essential both for your legal case and your recovery.

Truck Accidents

Injuries suffered in truck accidents tend to be catastrophic due to the difference in weight between a car and a tractor-trailer. Most cars weigh from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, while commercial trucks (also known as semis or 18 wheelers) can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when carrying a full load.

Motorcycle & Bicycle Accidents

Many motorcycle riders in Ohio suffer serious injuries due to the negligence of other drivers. Some of the most common accident scenarios are cars making left-hand turns in front of motorcycles or swerving into a lane containing a motorcycle. In these situations, there is little the motorcycle rider can do to avoid a crash. Bicycle riders are often injured in similar accidents and for similar reasons. Many car drivers are simply not aware of the presence of motorcycles and bikes on the road.

Serious Injuries Accidents

When an accident results in a serious and permanent injury such as brain damage, paralysis, loss of limb, or blindness, planning for the future becomes a very important part of your case. Our lawyers are committed to anticipating the future impact of your injuries and planning to provide the resources and money you’ll need.

Medical Malpractice

A bad medical outcome is not the same as medical malpractice. A doctor or hospital can do everything they are supposed to do and you can still be left with a serious and permanent injury. Medical malpractice only occurs when a medical provider fails to follow the accepted standard of care and this negligence results in an injury to you.

Wrongful Death

When an accident results in a fatality, there are important considerations that family members need to address. While nothing can change what happened, a wrongful death lawsuit can help your family deal with the financial consequences. It can also help your family obtain justice for your loved one by holding the responsible party accountable.

Premises Liability

Business owners and homeowners are responsible for maintaining their property in a reasonably safe condition. If you have been injured on someone else's property due to unsafe or negligent conditions, then you may have a cause for filing a personal injury lawsuit.

Workplace Injuries

Ohio workers' compensation laws are very complex. Seeking a lawyer's advice at the beginning of your case can keep you from making mistakes that can result in your employer or the insurance company later denying your claim. A lawyer can also advise you about the possibility of a personal injury claim.

Drunk Driving & Other Alcohol-Related Accidents

In most cases, the insurance company of the drunk driver is responsible for paying for your damages. If the person who caused the accident was driving without insurance, there may be other potential sources of recovery such as your own insurance coverage for uninsured and underinsured drivers. If the drunk driver was over-served alcohol by a bar or a restaurant, you may also have a dram shop claim against the liquor establishment.
