Senft Injury Advocates were life savers for me after experiencing a serious accident on the highway during rush hour traffic. My car was rear-ended and I received back injuries. Everyone I dealt with at Senft Legal were excellent advocates in helping me navigate through a very complex, difficult case. Katie responded immediately whenever I had questions. Jack got me the best settlement possible in my case. I highly recommend this firm! They are knowledgeable, responsive and capable.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Reach A Lawyer

In Ohio, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim except when it comes to medical malpractice cases which need to be filed within a year. However, if the injury was not immediately discovered, the clock may start when the injury is discovered, rather than when it occurred. For minors, you have to file a claim within two years after turning 18. It’s important to consult with an Ohio personal injury lawyer to ensure your claim is filed within the applicable time limit for your specific situation.

Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. Our fee ranges from 33% to 40% of the settlement or award, depending on the complexity of your case. There are no upfront costs, so you don’t have to pay anything unless we successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to access legal help without paying out-of-pocket fees, making it easier for you to pursue a claim.

Compensation for a personal injury accident may cover medical costs for treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation. You could also be entitled to compensation for lost wages if your injury prevents you from working, as well as for any property damage to your vehicle or belongings. Additionally, compensation may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. If your injury is permanent or disabling, you may qualify for compensation for long-term care needs or future lost earnings. In extreme cases of negligence, additional compensation may be awarded to punish the offense.

Yes, you can still file a personal injury claim in Ohio if you were partially at fault for the accident. Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident and the total damages are $100,000, you would be eligible to receive $80,000. However, if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation. It’s important to consult with an Ohio personal injury lawyer to understand how your level of fault may affect your claim.

In Ohio, if you're involved in an accident caused by a driver who is either uninsured or underinsured, your own auto insurance policy can provide protection through Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverages, if available. UM/UIM coverage, can help cover expenses for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you're unsure whether you have this coverage, or if you're struggling with a claim, an Ohio personal injury lawyer can review your policy and guide you through the process.

The length of a personal injury lawsuit can vary greatly, ranging from a few months to several years, depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of both parties to negotiate. Cases with serious injuries or disputed liability typically take longer, as they require extensive evidence and expert testimony. Delays in settlement may occur if the defendant or their insurance company is unwilling to negotiate fairly, which could result in a trial. Court delays and the trial or appeals process can further extend the timeline. For a more accurate estimate, consult an Ohio personal injury lawyer.

Yes, undocumented individuals in Ohio can pursue personal injury claims. Under the U.S. Constitution’s Due Process Clause, all individuals are entitled to due process and equal protection under the law, regardless of immigration status. This ensures that undocumented individuals have the right to seek compensation for injuries sustained in accidents, just like any other person.
