Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case. The fee is a percentage of the settlement or award. We can explain our fee structure during your free initial consultation. The exact percentage can depend on the complexity of your case.
Evidence is key to a strong personal injury claim. We will need police reports, witness statements, and photos of the accident scene and any damage. Medical records detailing your injuries and treatment are also vital. We help you gather all necessary documentation to build your case effectively.
Ohio has a statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident. However, it's best to contact us as soon as possible. Starting early allows us to investigate thoroughly and preserve evidence while it's fresh.
