Who the firm helps

-
Motor vehicle crashes
Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions, and the insurance claims that follow.
-
Wrongful death
Claims for families who lost someone because of another’s wrongful act or neglect.
-
Serious injury claims
Injuries that change how you work, move, and live call for a claim that accounts for the long term, not only the bills already in hand.
What a claim can cover
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term disruption to your work and daily life
What a particular claim is worth depends on the injuries, the treatment, the income lost, how the injury happened, and the insurance available. No lawyer can honestly promise a number at the start.
How a claim usually moves
- Free consultation. You explain what happened and ask your questions.
- Investigation. Crash reports, medical records, bills, photos, and witness information are gathered.
- Demand and negotiation. The claim is presented to the insurance company with the documentation behind it.
- Lawsuit, if needed. If the insurer will not resolve the claim fairly, the case can be filed in court.
Do not wait on the deadline
Ohio generally requires a lawsuit for bodily injury to be filed within two years (R.C. 2305.10). Some claims have different deadlines and there are exceptions, so talk with a lawyer early.
Common questions
- What does a consultation cost?
- Personal injury consultations are free.
- Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
- The other driver’s insurer does not represent you. Before you give a recorded statement or sign a release, talk with a lawyer.
- What if I was partly at fault?
- Under Ohio law, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and is barred only if your fault is greater than the combined fault of the others involved (R.C. 2315.33).
- Where does the firm take cases?
- The firm is based in Akron and serves clients across Northeast Ohio, including Canton, Medina, Fairlawn, and surrounding communities.
