Frequently Asked Questions

Clear Answers to Keep You Informed

  • How do I know if I have a case?

    If another party’s careless conduct caused your injury and there is insurance or assets available, you may have a claim. We evaluate liability, causation, and damages in the first meeting.

  • What is the statute of limitations in Ohio?

    Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident. There are limited exceptions, so early review is important.

  • How much does it cost to hire you?

    For injury cases, fees are contingency based. You do not pay an attorney fee unless there is a recovery. We explain case costs before you sign.

  • How long will my case take?

    Simple claims may resolve a few months after treatment ends. Disputed liability, significant injuries, or multiple insurers can extend the timeline.

  • Will my case go to trial?

    Many cases settle. We prepare each file for trial so negotiation leverage is real if settlement offers do not reflect the evidence.
