Personal Injury Questions
Quick answers to common questions about personal injury cases.
What qualifies as a personal injury?
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.
How long do I have to resolve my case?
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.
How long until I get my settlement money?
It varies. The timing depends on the length of your treatment and whether Medicare or Medicaid records are involved.
Do I have to pay anything upfront for a personal injury case?
No. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning there's no fee unless we recover for you.
How do I know if I have a case?
Every situation is different. The best way to find out is a free initial consultation where we can go over the details with you.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases are resolved through negotiation, but if a fair resolution can't be reached, we're prepared to take a case to trial.
