Types of Personal Injuries
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Victims of motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck and motorcycle accidents, are often justified to file personal injury claims. These accidents can result in serious personal injuries such as broken bones, whiplash, internal injuries or traumatic brain injuries. Victims may suffer physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial hardship due to medical bills and lost wages. It is not easy to deal with an insurance company, or navigate the legal process, but I’m here to help you.
Wrongful Death
When a person loses a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, they may file a wrongful death personal injury claim. This tragic event can have a devastating impact on the family left behind. Emotionally, they may experience grief, anger, and even depression. Financially, they may face the burden of funeral expenses and loss of financial support, which can forever change their financial well being. As a personal injury attorney, I know how hard this can be on a family. You need to be represented by someone who understands your hardship. You need to call me.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can lead to serious personal injury or even wrongful death. Victims of medical malpractice may experience physical harm, prolonged suffering, and lifelong disability. They often require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and counseling to cope with the emotional distress caused by a medical error. The medical care necessary to help victims feel like themselves again is very expensive. This is precisely why I am here to Make Them Pay!®.
Nursing Home Neglect
Elderly residents in nursing homes can suffer from neglect and abuse. Victims may endure physical injuries such as bedsores, malnutrition, or broken bones, and their emotional well-being may be severely affected. It is so difficult and sad to discover your loved one is struggling. Neglect may leave victims with a diminished quality of life, and the need for long-term medical care. This treatment is reprehensible, unacceptable, heartbreaking, and illegal under Ohio law. I’ll help you take action against those that have harmed your innocent elderly relative.
Birth Injury
Birth injuries can have an adverse lifelong impact on both the child and their family. Injuries can result in physical disabilities, cognitive impairments, and emotional distress for the child. Parents may face mounting medical bills and the emotional toll of caring for a child with special needs. You need to work with a personal injury lawyer who cares. Someone who is only a phone call away, day or night. I will be there for you, and hold those who are responsible, accountable.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen at work, in a store, or other public places, and often occur due to someone else’s negligence. They can also result in serious personal injuries. Victims may experience fractures, sprains, or bruising and head injuries. The injuries can lead to physical pain, limited mobility, and financial strain due to medical expenses and missed work. This is no laughing matter, and the responsible party needs fill the financial void created by the injury. I am here to help.
Product Liability
When a defective product causes injury, victims may file a personal injury claim against the manufacturer or distributor. Injuries include physical harm, such as burns or lacerations from malfunctioning products. The physical pain is accompanied by emotional distress and financial losses due to mounting medical bills and property damage. The malfunctioning product may also affect your trust as a consumer. It is vital that these companies conduct proper testing to ensure the safety of what they’re selling. Ohio personal injury lawyers like myself, go after these negligent companies because they must be held accountable for the injuries their negligence caused.
Dog Bites
Dogs make great pets. They’re friendly, lovable, and protective. Their protective nature can result in biting and serious personal injury, especially when children are bitten. Victims may suffer physical injuries, scarring, and emotional trauma. Dog owners need insurance. When a dog bite occurs, the victim often requires medical treatment for the injury. This comes at a great cost dog owners must bear if found to be negligent.
Toxic Exposure
Exposure to toxic substances, usually in the workplace, can lead to serious personal injury, including l cancer, respiratory issues, skin damage and more. . Victims may require extensive medical treatment and face financial burden due to mounting medical bills and lost income. Businesses must keep their employees safe, and if they don’t, they face multiple lawsuits for gross negligence. As an experienced personal injury lawyer, I have worked to ensure Cleveland workplaces are safe for more than 40 years.
Treatment for Personal Injuries
Medical Evaluation and Diagnosis
After a car accident or serious personal injury, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. A medical evaluation is essential to assess the extent of injuries, which can range from minor to catastrophic. Medical documentation is vital for successful personal injury legal claims.
Emergency Medical Care
In case of serious injury from a car accident or other accidents, the injured victim may require emergency medical care, including surgery, wound treatment, or bone stabilization. This care is essential to address life-threatening conditions and to prevent further harm.
Physical Therapy
For individuals with long-term injuries, physical therapy is often a crucial part of their recovery process. Physical therapy aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and regain strength. The ongoing therapy should be accounted for in your personal injury claim. I work with a team of experts who will take into account all aspects of your injury and recovery timeline to determine proper compensation.
Pain Management
Serious injuries can result in chronic pain. Pain management treatment, including medications, injections, and physical modalities, are often necessary to enhance the quality of life for those who have experienced a serious injury.
Rehabilitation Services
Individuals with catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries, may require long-term rehabilitation services. These services can include occupational therapy, speech therapy, and vocational rehabilitation to help the victim regain independence and adapt to their new life’s circumstances.
Psychological Counseling
The emotional impact of serious personal injury cases cannot be underestimated. Being involved in an accident can often leave the victim anxious, afraid, and untrusting. As an experienced attorney, I will ensure psychological counseling or therapy to cope with your mental trauma is addressed and compensated for in the personal injury process.
Surgical Interventions
In the case of significant injury, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair damage to bones, nerves, or internal organs. Surgery aims to improve functionality and reduce the long-term impact of the injury.
Assistive Devices
Some serious injuries may require the use of assistive devices such as wheelchairs, prosthetics, or mobility aids. These devices enable injured individuals to regain some level of independence and mobility.
Vocational Rehabilitation
For those unable to return to their previous jobs due to the seriousness of the injury, vocational rehabilitation programs can help injured victims develop new skills and find employment opportunities that accommodate their limitations.

Damages
Economic Damages: Economic damages in a personal injury case are intended to compensate injured people for tangible financial losses. This includes medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages due to the catastrophic injury. Economic damages help victims pay for their immediate and future medical expenses, as well as cover any income they have lost or will lose in the future due to the injury.
Non-Economic Damages: Non-economic damages aim to provide fair compensation for intangible losses that injured people experience, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and decreased quality of life. These damages acknowledge the physical and emotional toll that catastrophic injuries can have on victims.
Punitive Damages: Punitive damages go beyond compensating the victim for their injuries; they are designed to punish the at-fault party for their egregious behavior. Punitive damages are typically awarded when the defendant’s actions were especially reckless or intentional. Punitive damages can serve as a deterrent and provide additional financial relief to injured victims.
Medical Expenses: Compensation for medical expenses includes reimbursement for past and future medical bills related to the catastrophic injury. This covers hospital stays, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and any necessary assistive devices or home modifications.
Lost Income: Victims of serious personal injury often miss work due due to their condition. Compensation for lost income helps injured people recover the wages they would have earned if not for the injury. This includes both past and future lost earnings.
Pain and Suffering: Pain and suffering damages aim to provide compassionate representation by acknowledging the physical and emotional anguish experienced by the victim. These damages are intended to offer fair compensation for the distress and discomfort caused by the catastrophic injury.
Loss of Consortium: Loss of consortium damages can be awarded to a spouse or family member If they’ve lost a loved one, or the victim has had their life altered because of the injury, . These damages compensate for the loss of companionship, care, and support that the family member experiences due to the catastrophic injury.
Property Damage: In some cases, personal injury incidents may result in damage to the victim’s property, such as their vehicle in a car accident. Compensation for property damage helps the injured repair or replace their damaged property.
