Whether you have been injured in an auto accident, on-the-job, by medical malpractice, or in some other type of accident, you need the help of an experienced personal injury attorney to obtain just compensation so that you and your family can get back on your feet. Our Columbus personal injury attorneys understand the challenges that you are facing. We are ready to fight for you.
Do Not Wait until It Is Too Late
One of the most disheartening things that we see as attorneys is the injury victim who desperately needs compensation and clearly has a winning case, but has waited too long and no longer has a legal right to pursue the matter.
There is a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit called the statute of limitations. Different types of personal injury, such as product liability or medical malpractice, have different statutes of limitations. The issue becomes even more complicated in cases where the “discovery rule” applies. The discovery rule is commonly applied in medical malpractice cases. It can give you more time because it means that your time limit did not start tolling until you discovered that malpractice caused your injury.
Each case is unique, so we urge you not to make assumptions about the deadline for filing yours. If you miss that deadline you will have given up your right to compensation.
Compensation
The type of compensation that you may be entitled to will depend on the nature of your injuries. In most types of personal injury cases you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Future lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Property damage
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, please call our Columbus personal injury attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
