Personal Injury Questions

Quick answers to common questions about personal injury cases.

Q:

What qualifies as a personal injury?

A:

A personal injury is a physical or emotional injury to a person. We do not handle property damage claims. Our personal injury practice focuses on motor vehicle accidents and slip-and-falls.

Q:

How long do I have to resolve my case?

A:

Ohio's statute of limitations gives you about 24 months. If your case is not resolved before that deadline, we file a lawsuit before it passes.

Q:

How long until I get my settlement money?

A:

It varies. The timing depends on the length of your treatment and whether Medicare or Medicaid records are involved.

Q:

Do I have to pay anything upfront for a personal injury case?

A:

No. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning there's no fee unless we recover for you.

Q:

How do I know if I have a case?

A:

Every situation is different. The best way to find out is a free initial consultation where we can go over the details with you.

Q:

Will my case go to trial?

A:

Most cases are resolved through negotiation, but if a fair resolution can't be reached, we're prepared to take a case to trial.
