As your personal injury lawyer, my goal is to be your advocate during this difficult time, providing compassionate support and expert guidance to help you navigate the legal process and get the compensation you deserve. Here are a few of our areas of expertise.

What to Expect When Filing a Personal Injury Claim

Before initiating a claim, it’s essential to cover the fundamentals. Merely being injured does not automatically entitle one to compensation.

1. Seek Medical Attention & Document Your Injuries
In Ohio, you have 2 years from the date the injury occurred to file a personal injury claim. (There are some exceptions to this rule.) Be sure to document all medical records and expenses, as these will be crucial to your case.

2. Assess Your Case
Determining whether you have a viable personal injury claim involves asking critical questions about the circumstances surrounding your injury:
– Was your injury caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness?
– Do you require extensive medical treatment for your injuries?
– Are you facing a prolonged recovery period?
– Have you experienced financial hardships as a result of the incident?
– Have you missed work due to your injury?
– Is there evidence demonstrating negligence or lack of care during the incident?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a valid basis for pursuing a personal injury claim.

3. Provide Notification
Notify the relevant parties involved in the incident of your intention to file a claim, adhering to specific legal requirements.

4. Gather Evidence
We’ll help you collect relevant evidence, including medical records, witness statements, photographs, and documentation of financial losses.

5. File the Claim
We’ll submit your claim to the appropriate insurance companies or legal entities, following the prescribed procedures.

6. Negotiate Settlement
Next, we will engage in negotiations with insurance adjusters or opposing parties to reach a fair settlement agreement.

7. Consider Arbitration
If needed, we’ll explore the option of arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution method to expedite the resolution process. Arbitration is a popular form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which parties (both sides of a case or disagreement) have an opportunity to be heard by a neutral third party called an arbitrator.

8. Get the Compensation You Deserve.
Once a settlement is reached, it could take a few months to get your personal injury settlement check. However, each case is unique, and some victims may get their check sooner than others. It depends on a variety of factors, including whether there are any delays.

However, litigation funding is compensation from your settlement that is paid out before the settlement is finalized. You could receive a portion of what you are expecting to receive in the settlement.
