Ohio auto accident victims are wise to retain a Dayton personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident or other personal injury. Whether someone is injured on the job, on the freeway or from using a product that caused injury or even death, there are important time limitations that must be adhered to in order to pursue a case.
Statutes of Limitations:
The Statute of Limitations for a Dayton personal injury lawyer to file a personal injury action is two years. Damages sought would be for medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, pain and suffering and more. For people injured from general medical malpractice, the Statute of Limitations is one year. The statute for injuries caused by a dangerous product is two years, and the time limit for family members to file a lawsuit on behalf of a loved one who died from his or her personal injuries is two years.
Early Investigation:
It is important that a personal injury case be investigated as soon as possible after an accident or injury. The attorneys may need to investigate the site of the accident before evidence disappears or the site is altered. An accident reconstructionist may be brought in to help support a client's case.
Insurance Companies:
The Dayton personal injury lawyer at Altick & Corwin Co. LPA will contact the insurance companies on both sides of the claim. He or she will also have ongoing communication with the insurance companies' defense attorneys.
Medical Care:
A Dayton personal injury lawyer at Altick & Corwin will refer the client to a physician who specializes in personal injury patients. This doctor may refer the patient to other medical providers, such as physical therapists or specialists, but the doctor who does the referring continues to direct all of that patient's care.
All of the medical providers, including the referring physician, physical therapists, pharmacies and specialists, file liens against the case. This means that they are not paid for their services until the end of the case. The patient attends appointments and therapy sessions and receives medications without having to pay anything out of pocket.
Attorney Fees:
When an injured person retains a Dayton personal injury lawyer at Altick & Corwin, the case is usually taken on a contingency basis. This means that the client pays no attorney fees unless or until the case settles or goes to trial and receives a favorable verdict. If the client does not win at trial, he or she pays nothing.
Settlement or Litigation:
Once the client is on the road to physical recovery, the Dayton personal injury lawyer at Altick & Corwin sends a demand letter to the the opposing insurance company's attorneys requesting a settlement that covers past and future medical expenses, loss of income reimbursement, future lost wages, auto repair or total replacement (if applicable) and monetary compensation for the client's pain and suffering. If the case does not settle, then it goes to trial before a judge and jury who determine the outcome.
