Fault is primarily established based on the concept of negligence. Every driver has a duty to avoid endangering those who share the road. This means they must take any and all necessary precautions while driving, and the failure to do so is considered negligence. When a driver’s negligence leads to an accident, he or she is considered at fault. However, this is not always a simple concept:
Sometimes, negligence can be difficult to prove, and other times, more than one driver may have contributed. This is why it is necessary to have quality legal counsel fighting for you.

There are options for you even if you do not have medical insurance. You must go see your doctor or visit the ER after an accident. Not only will you receive the attention you need, but you will also be able to provide an attorney with a record of your injuries and treatment, which can be given to the other driver’s insurance company as evidence of your claim.

Generally, you have about two years to file a lawsuit after an accident. Although the exact amount of time may vary depending on the circumstances, this is why it is imperative to seek out the
services of an attorney right away.

Fortunately, even if the other driver in an accident does not have insurance, you may still have options enabling you to collect. Most policies have what is called uninsured motorist coverage, which protects you in this exact scenario.

Before accepting any settlement, you should speak with Frank Piscitelli and his team. Despite what they say, insurance agencies are generally not in the business of providing the financial support that is needed and owed. Instead, they will do all they can to minimize the amount of money they have to pay so that they can maximize their own profits. This means that your settlement offer will likely be far less than you deserve.

If your family member or a loved one passed away due to a wrongful death incident, you may be entitled to claim financial compensation on their behalf. We will examine the circumstances and determine your eligibility to file a claim.

Ohio’s statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases is two years. Medical malpractice claims have a statute of limitations of one or four years, depending on when the causation was discovered. The statute of limitations for product liability claims is two to 10 years, depending on the discovery of injury and when the product was made. Essentially, you should file your claim as soon as possible to ensure that you are within your legal right to do so.

Ohio enforces a comparative negligence law. This means that a person can pursue damages minus a percentage equal to his or her own contribution to the accident, up to 50 percent. For example, if it is determined that you were 20 percent at fault for an accident, you can pursue up to 80 percent of the total damages. However, any person who is more than 50 percent at fault for an accident will not be able to recover any percentage of compensation.

Similar to case worth, each lawsuit is unique, and there is no set timetable to accurately determine the length of time the case will take. Depending on the severity of your case, the cooperation of all parties, and the availability of evidence and witness testimony, personal injury cases can take anywhere from a few months to years to resolve.

There are many different factors involved in determining the value of your case. This includes the physical damages that were incurred to you or your loved one, emotional pain and suffering, and financial losses such as medical bills and lost wages. However, there is no exact calculator to accurately estimate the amount of compensation you may be able to recover. Additionally, other intangible factors, including your and the defendant’s conduct throughout the case, can have an effect on the value of your claim. We can discuss the details of your unique situation in a case evaluation to determine the maximum compensation to pursue.
