PERSONAL INJURY CASES
Claims involving personal injury are some of the most sensitive matters a lawyer can handle. When you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is not just dollars and cents at issue. Your physical condition, your ability to work, and your future quality of life are often at stake. For your injury case, you need lawyers who understand just how “personal” a personal injury case can be. At Katz DiCuccio LLP, our Columbus personal injury attorneys treat every client as a person first and a case second.
We represent injured Ohioans in a wide range of accident and injury claims, including car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall injuries and other premises liability claims, and dog bites and animal attacks. Ohio law holds dog owners strictly liable for most bite injuries, meaning you generally do not have to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. In the most tragic cases, we also represent families in wrongful death claims when negligence takes the life of a loved one.
After an accident, the insurance company is not on your side. Adjusters are trained to close claims quickly and cheaply, and an early settlement offer rarely accounts for the full extent of your injuries, particularly before you know whether you will need ongoing treatment. Our attorneys handle the insurance company so you can focus on recovery. We investigate the accident, gather medical records and evidence, work with your treatment providers to document your injuries, and negotiate from a position of strength. If the insurer will not offer fair compensation, we are trial lawyers, and we will take your case to court.
Depending on the circumstances, an injured person in Ohio may recover compensation for medical bills and future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. But you must act promptly. Ohio’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury, and some claims carry even shorter deadlines. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and waiting too long can cost you your claim entirely.
If you or a loved one has been injured in Columbus or central Ohio, contact Katz DiCuccio LLP for a consultation. We will listen to what happened, give you an honest assessment of your case, and explain your options at no obligation.
