If another person’s negligence caused you to suffer a serious injury, it can be physically, financially and emotionally devastating. Your injury can be compounded with financial inconvenience if you require surgery or ongoing medical care and are you unable to return to work for an extended period of time as a result. While there is no way to turn back time and prevent the accident now, you can seek compensation for the expenses associated with the injury. These expenses can accumulate rapidly, and a successful personal injury lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected, that you recover the damages to which you are entitled, and that the negligent party is held liable for your injuries. A highly skilled personal injury lawyer will assist you with the claims process and secure the maximum financial compensation you deserve.

What Damages Am I Entitled to Receive in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

In the state of Ohio, the deadline for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident. While this may seem like a significant amount of time, there are a number of steps involved in the claims process, and if you wait until the last minute to file your claim, it can have a negative impact on the outcome of your claim. For example, if you did not take pictures, or collect key evidence at the scene of the accident, it may be difficult, if not impossible to collect physical evidence at a later date. In addition, witnesses who were at the scene, may not remember important details about the accident if you wait to obtain witness statements until days, weeks or months after the accident. From a financial standpoint, if you suffered a serious injury, you will likely start to accumulate medical expenses that will need to be paid. If you do not initiate the claims process as soon as possible, you could be responsible for these expenses, which can be financially devastating. Finally, if you fail to file your claim within the statute of limitations, your claim will likely be denied, and you will be ineligible to recover any damages. A skilled personal injury lawyer will assist you with the claims process and ensure that your claim is filed well before the deadline.
