Do You Need an Attorney After an Injury?

You may be wondering if it’s even necessary to hire an attorney after a personal injury. To get a better idea, ask yourself the following questions:

• Have I been in a motor vehicle accident involving a car, truck, motorcycle, or bus?

• Did I slip and fall as a result of a property owner’s negligence?

• Did a defective product or mislabeled food item cause me serious bodily harm?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, an attorney can be a valuable resource throughout your pursuit of compensation. From filing an insurance claim to working to hold responsible parties accountable, they can take on the legalities while you focus on what matters most: healing and moving forward.

Damages for Ohio Personal Injuries

After an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, you may qualify for financial compensation, also known as damages. Ohio law typically breaks down personal injury damages into three categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive.

Economic Damages

Economic damages can be quantified and may be easier to prove in an insurance claim. They are awarded to cover the costs of things like: 

• Current and future medical bills

• Therapy expenses

• Property damages

• Lost wages

• Lost earning capacity/opportunity

• Funeral expenses (in the case of wrongful death)

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, can’t be quantified. They compensate for items that can’t be reimbursed dollar-for-dollar, such as:

• Physical pain and suffering

• Physical impairment or disfigurement 

• Mental anguish

• Embarrassment

• Decreased quality of life as a result of your injuries

• Loss of consortium

Punitive Damages

Depending on the type of injuries you’ve sustained, you may be able to sue for punitive damages, which are designed to punish the party whose negligence caused you harm. Get in touch with us to learn whether you may be eligible.

Ohio’s Collateral Source Rule

Ohio law follows the collateral source rule, which prevents you from receiving double payments when you receive compensation from other sources. This includes any payments you may receive from disability benefits, health insurance, or auto insurance. For questions regarding Ohio’s collateral source rule, reach out to our office in Hamilton today.
