Our firm has represented clients in all of those areas and is well-equipped, skilled, and experienced to obtain the maximum possible settlement and/or judgment against the negligent party and/or insurance company. Keep in mind that in Ohio you have only a two-year Statute of Limitations to bring a lawsuit after an automobile accident. If you do not hire an attorney and file the suit to protect your rights within the first two years, you will lose your right to any settlement or judgment as a result of your accident. It is very important that you immediately contact an attorney to protect your rights after any accident or injury.
Personal Injury terms:
- Medical Payment Coverage - The automobile insurance policy will specify this ,usually $5000, to cover immediate medical needs of any injured party
- Subrogation - An insurance company can go after the party who caused the accident to recover their expenses for medical bills and payouts to the injured party
- Doctor Bills - Issued by any medical provider who performed services as a result of the accident. These are all included in the settlement negotiations.
- Pending Settlement - Your attorney will keep you advised of any offers made to settle your case while it is going through the first two years of negotiation and after any litigation is filed on your behalf
- Statute of Limitations - In Ohio, you will have only two years to settle your case, or you must file a lawsuit in order to not lose your right forever to any recovery from the automobile/vehicle injury
