Every case, and every client, is unique, but the our experience with personal injury law will help you get the best possible settlement for your situation.
What Does “Personal Injury” Mean?
“Personal injury” law refers to situations where someone has been injured due to another person’s negligence – or due to the negligence of a company or institution. If that injured person has suffered material (financial), emotional, or psychological damage due to their injury, they may be eligible for support in the area of tort law. This typically means an injured person would receive a financial payment to cover medical bills, lost wages from work, and possibly compensation for any suffering they may have experienced.
These injuries can take a variety of forms, too. It could be a physical injury from a traffic accident or an on-the-job accident. It could be an ongoing, lingering condition due to malpractice — medical or any other type of professional malpractice. It could be a psychological injury stemming from the use of a defective product. It could be chronic back pain or other bodily injury from a slip-and-fall incident.
As personal injury attorneys in Cincinnati, we specialize in helping our clients get what they need and deserve after they’ve been harmed.

How Will I Be Compensated for My Personal Injury?
The amount and type of compensation for personal injury cases varies widely as well. The severity of your injury, the extent of the negligence, and your long-term prognosis will all be factors for consideration. If the individual or the company knew about unsafe conditions and did not take steps to correct or modify those conditions, it can affect the outcome of the case’s settlement. As personal injury attorneys in Cincinnati, we’ve seen a variety of types of cases, and no two are the same – we will have to discuss your injury with you, personally, to give you an idea of what type of settlement you could receive.

1. Knowledge of the Law
New decisions, from the local, district court level to the highest level of the Supreme Court, can change the whole terrain of personal injury law. Lawyers who want to succeed in this field stay informed and curious about new cases and new precedent. Having an insatiable appetite for keeping up with the latest changes in personal injury law is an important quality in a great personal injury attorney.
2. Knowledge of the Medical Industry
Given how much an attorney for personal injury works with the medical profession, medical records, and medical terminology, knowledge and experience with the medical field is an important and necessary trait.
3. Experience
Having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can help you avoid missing out on a settlement due to common mistakes with the legal process. Your lawyer can offer expert guidance and help you gather and preserve critical evidence regarding your case, document the severity of the injuries you incurred, and track down the expenses you incur from the injuries you suffer, and help you present a concise, convincing case, correctly.
4. Honesty
The best personal injury lawyers can be frank with you. If a part of your case is problematic, or if your chances in court have just become more limited due to a development in the evidence, your lawyers should tell you right away. A good personal injury attorney shouldn’t tell you what you want to hear, they should tell you the truth and be straightforward about your chances for success.
