Toledo Injury Attorneys

Any type of accident will cause stress, confusion, and anxiety. When an accident is the fault of another person’s carelessness, though, it can be even more frustrating. You will sustain many different types of injuries in an accident that are not only extremely painful, but that are also costly to treat. You may also miss out on time at work and not know how you are going to pay for treatment, or how you will cover your daily expenses. 

If another person’s negligence caused you to become injured, you can file a claim for damages. Our Toledo injury attorneys can provide legal representation and give you the best chance of claiming a full settlement.

Our Toledo Injury Attorneys Handle All Types of Claims

The majority of accidents that happen in Toledo are caused by another person’s negligence. Negligence, or carelessness, can take many forms. Some of the most common injury claims our seasoned attorneys handle include:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Boating accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Construction accidents
• Dog bites
• Premises liability accidents, such as slip and falls
• Defective products
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home neglect and abuse
• Wrongful death

When filing a claim after any of the above accidents, you will have to prove that the defendant was negligent and caused the accident. You must also prove the extent of your injuries. Our Toledo injury attorneys will prove every element of your case so you can claim the maximum damages to which you are entitled.

Why Work With a Toledo Injury Attorney?

You have no legal obligation to work with a Toledo injury attorney when filing your claim, but it is highly recommended that you do. It is never easy to file a personal injury claim and even the smallest mistake could result in the loss of the full damages you deserve. A lawyer will help you overcome the many challenges personal injury claims present, some of which include:

• Insurance policy limits: You will most likely have to file a claim with the negligent party’s insurance company after an accident. You will only be able to claim up to the policy’s limits and if the compensation you receive does not fully cover the cost of your injuries, you may have to file a claim directly against the negligent party or your own insurance company if you have certain types of excess coverage.

• Damage caps: Ohio places a general cap of $250,000 or three times the amount of economic damages up to a maximum of $350,000.00, whichever is greater, on non-economic damages in most personal injury claims. A lawyer will accurately value your economic damages so you can claim the full non-economic damages you justly deserve.

• Allegations of fault: The defendant will likely try to shift the blame to you to reduce the amount of compensation they have to pay. A lawyer will refute these claims and present evidence to prove you were an innocent victim.
