Put An Experienced
Lawyer On Your Side
The insurance company responsible for paying your damages have adjusters whom they have trained to be experts on its side working to minimize the amount it has to pay. To protect your interests, you need an experienced lawyer on your side — and as soon as possible.
Prior to opening my own firm, I worked for one of the largest personal injury law firms in Ohio. There, I represented hundreds and hundreds of injured parties from all across the state. I fought extremely hard against the insurance companies to maximize my clients’ compensation.
The reason I was able to do that better than most is what I uniquely bring and makes me stand out from other law firms. Other law firms can say that they have represented insurance companies, but few can say that they have attorneys who have worked on the INSIDE of an insurance company.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Car Accident FAQ
Yes, if you do not have insurance, the car in which you were a passenger may be held responsible for any lost wages and medical bills. If you have insurance, then you should make a claim with them. Still, an attorney can help you get the maximum settlement that you are entitled to.
For small auto accidents, you may not. But, for major accidents with medical costs and financial losses, an attorney can help you get the full reimbursement from the insurance company. Consult with a personal injury lawyer that handles all legal paperwork, meetings, court appearances and negotiations to settle your case.
It is always best to contact the insurance company as soon as possible when filing a claim. Most states, like Ohio will allow two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. There are also exceptions to statutes of limitations, so it is always advised to consult with an attorney.
