Paulozzi LPA fought long and hard (understatement) for me to get the best outcome possible after my car accident. Joe Paulozzi and Amy Higgins were wonderful… dedicated, persevering, and honest. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.

At Paulozzi LPA Injury Lawyers, we are here to help when you need a personal injury attorney in Ohio. Let our skilled and experienced team conduct a full investigation into your claim so we can obtain maximum compensation on your behalf.

Time Limit for Personal Injury Cases

The state of Ohio places a statute of limitation (time limit) on personal injury cases. Personal injury victims have two years from the date their injury occurs to file a civil personal injury lawsuit against an alleged negligent party. However, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases is one year from the date a person is injured or discovers they have been harmed due to a medical mistake.

Since the exact date of the statute of limitations in your case may not be clear, it is critical to get an experienced attorney to handle the legal details of your case. Failure to do so could result in the dismissal of your personal injury claim should you attempt to file once the statute of limitations has already passed.

Common Personal Injuries to Sue for in Ohio

Victims of personal injuries are often unsure whether they have the right to pursue insurance and civil claims. They have concerns that their injuries may not be severe enough to warrant taking legal action against the liable party.

However, if your injuries have had a significant impact on your life and someone else is responsible for causing them, that party should be compelled to compensate you for your damages. With that being said, if you have suffered any of the following types of injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation:

If you suffered another type of injury that was not listed above, our firm may still be able to help you bring the liable party to justice. Do not hesitate to contact our office to find out what your next steps should be.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Ohio Cost?

Most personal injury victims are in precarious financial situations, particularly when dealing with medical bills, as well as general living expenses. At Paulozzi LPA Injury Lawyers, we take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis.

This means that we do not charge any upfront or out-of-pocket costs for a case, and our clients only owe legal fees after we secure the compensation they deserve. You pay nothing until we win.

What Is Your Personal Injury Claim in Ohio Worth?

When you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else in Ohio, you have the right to be made whole. Every financial, emotional, and physical loss you suffered should be recovered as part of your personal injury claim.

With that in mind, your attorney will seek maximum compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. Some of the more common types of damages that you could recover as part of your Ohio personal injury claim include:

  • Payment of your medical bills
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Household out-of-pocket expenses
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of personal enjoyment damages
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Ongoing medical treatment and prescription medication fees
  • Costs of medical equipment
  • Damage to your personal and professional reputations
  • Costs of increased insurance premiums
  • Skin scarring and disfigurement

Depending on how your accident occurred, you may also be awarded punitive damages. These are awarded beyond your compensatory damages when the Ohio civil courts want to punish the liable party.

They may do so when they find the actions of the defendant to be reprehensible or grossly negligent. You can find out more about what your Ohio personal injury lawsuit is worth when you contact our office for a free consultation.
