FAQ’s
A: In Ohio, you will typically have two years to file a personal injury claim, and this time limit starts on the date your injury happened. If you do not file your claim within this statute of limitations, then it will be thrown out of court regardless of its merits. Two years may sound like more than enough time, but it may take longer than you expect to build your case, so you should consult a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
A: The time it takes to resolve a personal injury case varies based on multiple factors. If you hire experienced legal counsel right away after your accident, you are more likely to build a stronger case and more likely to resolve it quickly. Some cases can be resolved through private settlement negotiation outside of court, and this generally takes far less time than litigation. Settlement may take a few weeks to months, whereas litigation can take several months or longer in some cases.
A: The value of your personal injury case in Toledo largely depends on the severity of the harm the defendant caused. Your personal injury attorney can help you claim compensation for economic losses like property damage, medical bills, and lost wages resulting from the accident, and a plaintiff also has the right to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. Your attorney can estimate the potential value of your claim.
A: The cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Ohio varies. The team at Johnson & Associates accepts personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge our client a fee after we secure compensation for them, and the contingency fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered. If there is no recovery for any reason, the client pays no fee, so this policy makes legal counsel accessible to you at no risk.
