Car Accidents

There are many reasons a driver can be found at-fault in a car accident. Listed below are examples of negligence that can result in personal injury lawsuits in the Ashtabula, Ohio area.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving, a primary causes of car accidents, can occur anywhere and at any time. This dangerous behavior diverts attention from the road due and is often due to texting, phone use, eating, or looking for something while driving. Distracted driving frequently results in accidents and injuries. Whiplash, broken bones, head trauma or other life-threatening injuries are commonly seen in emergency room settings. Victims often face substantial medical bills and most personal injury attorneys would recommend legal action. You are entitled to compensation for injuries, lost wages, medical bills and more.

Speeding and Reckless Driving

Both speeding and reckless driving are common behaviors that significantly contribute to car accidents. These behaviors often involve excessive speed, aggressive maneuvers, and tailgating. As a result, accidents occur, leaving innocent victims with severe injuries and trauma. Common personal injuries include head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage.

Impaired Driving (DUI)

Impaired driving, particularly driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs, is a pervasive problem leading to car accidents both locally and nationally. This can result in injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic injuries like paralysis and death. If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of a drunk driver, you need to call me right away and I’ll Make Them Pay!®

Running Red Lights and Stop Signs

Carelessly running red lights or stop signs is another common cause of car accidents. These collisions often result in broken bones, concussions, soft tissue injuries, and more. Speed and impact location factor heavily on the seriousness of the injuries. In addition to pain and suffering, victims have to grapple with medical bills and lost wages.

Motorcycle Accidents

Speeding on a Motorcycle

Excessive speed is a significant factor in motorcycle accidents. When riders exceed safe speed limits, they have less time to react to unexpected obstacles or changes in traffic conditions. This can result in high-impact collisions, often leading to catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and bone fractures. Additionally, the force of impact typically throw riders from their motorcycles, increasing the risk of a critical injury.

Impaired Motorcycle Riding (DUI)

Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a common cause of motorcycle accidents. Impaired riders have reduced coordination, impaired judgment, and slower reaction times, making them more prone to accidents. Injuries resulting from DUI-related motorcycle accidents can range from broken bones and internal injuries to head injuries and fatalities.

Distracted Motorcycle Riding

Distracted riding occurs when motorcyclists engage in activities like texting, phone calls, or adjusting navigation systems while riding. These behaviors takes attention away from the road and their surroundings, increasing the risk of collisions with other vehicles or objects.

Lane Splitting and Unsafe Maneuvers

A practice called lane splitting is where motorcyclists ride between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic, and is a risky maneuver that can lead to devastating accidents. These actions often catch other motorists by surprise, resulting in collisions. Injuries from such accidents can include broken bones, spinal injuries, and road rash, particularly when riders are ejected from their motorcycles.

Dog Bites

Dogs are wonderful companions, however, dogs can sometimes be hostile, especially to people who are unfamiliar to them. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, it likely wasn’t your fault. Dog owners have the responsibility to ensure their pets do not act aggressively. If they do not, they will be held accountable for the injuries their dog caused.

Lack of Socialization

Dogs that haven’t been properly socialized with people and other animals may become fearful or anxious in unfamiliar situations. When confronted with new people or situations, they may react defensively by biting. Injuries resulting from such bites can range from minor puncture wounds to deep lacerations, with the potential for infection and scarring. Experienced Oh lawyers will file personal injury claims for clients injured as a result of a dog bite.

Territorial Aggression

Some dogs exhibit territorial aggression, where they perceive a person or another animal as a threat to their home or territory. In these cases, dogs may bite to protect their perceived domain. If a dog does have territorial aggression, its owner should be aware, and keep their pet away from visitors.

Protective Instincts

Dogs are known for their protective instincts towards their owners and families. While this trait is often desirable, it can lead to aggression if a dog perceives a threat to its human family members. Injuries from protective instincts can range from bites to the face, neck, or limbs, and may involve multiple bites in a single incident.

Pain or Illness

Even the most well-behaved dogs may react aggressively if they are in pain or feeling unwell. Injured or sick dogs may lash out when touched, trying to protect themselves from further discomfort. Injuries from bites in these cases can be severe, as the dog may bite with more force than usual due to its distress, potentially causing deep tissue damage and infections. It’s important for owners to recognize signs of pain or illness in their dogs, and seek appropriate veterinary care to prevent such situations.

Dog bites can be incredibly painful, and can lead to further complications such as infections. If you have been bitten by a dog in or near Ashtabula, call me to discuss your claim free of charge.

Medical Malpractice

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

Misdiagnosis occurs when a healthcare provider fails to correctly identify a patient’s medical condition, while delayed diagnosis refers to a significant delay in the diagnosis of a treatable condition. These errors can result in severe harm or even death, as patients may not receive timely and appropriate treatment. Depending on the condition involved, injuries can range from disease progression, complications, and unnecessary pain and suffering to the inability to pursue effective treatment options.

Surgical Errors

Surgical errors encompass a wide range of mistakes that occur during surgery, such as performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong body part, or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient. Injuries from surgical errors can include infections, organ damage, internal bleeding, and extended recovery times. In severe cases, these errors can lead to permanent disability or even death.

Medication Errors

Errors in medication occur when healthcare providers make mistakes in prescribing, administering, or monitoring medication. These errors can result in patients receiving the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or experience adverse drug interactions. Medication errors can lead to injuries that range from minor side effects to life-threatening complications.

Failure to Obtain Informed Consent

Healthcare providers are required to obtain informed consent from patients before performing medical procedures. Failure to do so can result in medical malpractice claims. Injuries in such cases may not be directly related to the procedure itself, but can include psychological trauma, as the patient was not able to make an informed decision about their healthcare.

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries are all too common, as leadership tends to focus more on production and profit than on safety. This neglect will not go unnoticed, since injuries will likely occur. If you were injured at work because safety protocols were not followed, your have a right to seek compensation.

Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common workplace injuries. They can result from wet or slippery floors, cluttered walkways, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting. Injuries from such incidents may range from minor bruises and sprains, to fractures, head injuries, or back injuries.

Falling Objects and Struck-By Accidents

In workplaces where materials are stored at heights, falling objects and struck-by accidents pose significant risk. Workers may be hit by tools, equipment, or materials, leading to injuries such as head trauma, bone fractures, or internal injuries. Protective gear and proper safety measures are essential to mitigate the risks associated with falling objects and struck-by incidents.

Machinery Accidents 

Working with machinery and equipment carries inherent risks. Accidents can occur due to malfunctioning equipment, lack of training, or failure to follow safety protocols. Injuries resulting from machinery accidents can be severe, including amputations, crush injuries, burns, or traumatic injuries to limbs and extremities. It’s crucial for employers to provide proper training and have safety measures in place to reduce the likelihood of such incidents.

It really comes down to what people say and do when they don't think anyone that matters is listening or they'll get... anything in return.There's the Tim Misny you see on the billboards and on TV, but there's another Tim Misny that I know up close and personal.The Tim Misny I know is genuinely passionate about helping the hard working little folks who get pushed around the big folks. He actually, really honestly cares about people who run into bad luck at no fault of their own. Tim has quietly, out of the sight of cameras and with no fanfare shared generously with the marginalized in our society; single moms, Veterans and others without expecting anything in return.He calls them like he sees them and you wouldn't want to take your troubles to anyone else.read more

Mr. Misny is the best! I am a 27-year-old single mother, and I am finishing law school in May at Cleveland-Marshall... College of Law. When I found myself jobless during the height of the pandemic, I knew I needed help. Going into the legal profession, I wanted to be JUST LIKE Mr. Misny because I knew he was the most successful attorney in the industry. I called him up one day just for the hell of it to see if there was anyway he could help me. I never thought such a big name/reputation like him would respond to me. However, when he learned of my financial situation he PERSONALLY called my cell phone within 5 minutes of my email. Not only has he helped me secure employment, but he continues to teach me every single day what it takes to be the BEST lawyer in the legal profession. I am forever thankful for Mr. Misny. He changed my life. He continues to inspire me every single day, and I am so proud that he took me under his wing and is my mentor. He is the most intelligent, kindest, caring attorney I have ever met, and he is giving me the tools I need to be the most successful lawyer I can be o give my four-year-old son, Gregory, the life he deserves. THANK YOU MR. TIM MISNY. I owe my entire future legal career to you because if you didn't take the time out of your busy day to call me that day and help me when no one else would, I would not have been able to stay in law school. You change lives every single day. Keep being you Tim. There is no one like Tim Misny.read more

If I could reach into the sky just to pull more than 5 stars down for a rating I would! I have used other lawyers in... the past and it was such a pain to reach them when I needed them. Tim is in all honesty there for you. He gave me his personal phone number, and at anytime or any day he answered. If I had to leave a message I could count to 10 and he would already be calling me back. He also was willing to talk on the weekends! He didn’t just forward me to an impersonal automated system or a person with no experience. I will NEVER use another person for legal advice. He’s gracious enough to give me guidance whenever I have a question. No matter how complex. This may sound like an advertisement but I assure you this man was more in touch when I had an issue than my own family. A reasonable and caring family man who will MAKE THEM PAY!Thank you Timread more

Tim has created a highly visible and effective law practice, and despite his decades of experience, he has never once... forgotten why he got into this business in the first place: to help people. He puts his whole heart into his work, and he works hard for everyone he represents. He has a gift for tuning out the noise and tuning into the core of what his clients need, and making it clear he has heard them. As a result, we feel empowered. He is smart, resourceful, creative, positive, and solution-oriented. His abundant energy makes people feel better, stronger, and valued. He loves and promotes his community; he gives back generously, and he always leaves everything better than he found it. Tim is a true man of action, and a man of his word. Could not recommend him more highly.read more

As a young man, I worked at a local garden center. I came from a family that had too many problems to list. I felt I... was never destined to be anything good. I had always wanted to be a police officer since I was a little boy. But, one side of my family told me that I would never be good enough to do it. Anytime I brought it up, they knocked me down until I started to believe that I could never accomplish my dream. One day, about 20 years ago, while working at that garden center, a very tall man came in and asked me to help him select plants. As we walked around the garden center, he struck up a conversation with me. He was very friendly and kind. I was a skinny teenager in dirty blue jeans and a t shirt. This man was dressed very nicely and I was surprised at how nice he was to me. During our conversation, he asked me what I wanted to do with my life after school. I told him that I wanted to be a police officer but many people told me that I’d never make it. I told him how my very own father said I wasn’t smart enough, brave enough, and I was wasting my time. I remember looking at the ground while I explained this to him. The man stopped and got serious. His voice dropped an octave and he looked me dead in the eyes. He pointed his finger at me and told me that I could make anything of my life that I wanted. He told me that it was up to ME to make my life goals come true. He told me to ignore anybody who tells me otherwise. He assured me that if I studied hard in school and never gave up on my dreams that they would become a reality. He told me to say it. I said “I can do it”. In that moment, I thought that if a complete stranger saw something in me, than maybe it could be true.After I helped him through the checkout and he left, many different employees at the garden center asked me if I knew who that man was. I did not. They told me, “That’s Tim Misny!” Once I figured out “who” Tim Misny was, my confidence grew. It was a pivotal moment. One in which steered the rest of my life. His words stuck with me. I worked hard and obtained my Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I was hired by a local Law Enforcement Agency at the age of 21. I was sent to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy, which was an extremely tough place to be, to say the least. At the Academy, they try to break those who don’t have a determined spirit. On days I wanted to quit, I remembered Tim’s words. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was random chance.... I’ll never know But, Tim Misny helped me have the confidence and determination that was necessary to be where I’m at today. I’ve been a law enforcement officer for over 16 years. I’ve told this story to many of my coworkers.Tim, you’ll never understand how your words that spring day helped shape my future. Your words enabled me to provide a great life for myself and my family. I’m forever grateful.Mikeread more

Tim has represented me twice, once 30 years ago and again just recently. I was too young to fully appreciate his... expertise when he represented me the first time (as i was a minor who was the victim of an accident - he won for us, incidentally), but I'm old enough and wise enough now to really appreciate how truly great he is. First off, how many attorney's actually give you their cell phone number and actually answer? I would contend very, very few. Secondly, he has a street fighter mentality combined with a sharp legal intellect which makes you immediately think "I'm so glad this guy is on my side." I was really in a bind recently and Tim came through in spades - he is THE person I would call if I were in trouble or needed help - at a minimum he would know who I should talk to and direct me there (he knows his own limits, which is the key to a wise person) - at a maximum he would take on my fight himself and I'd have full confidence in his ability to deliver the best possible outcome for me - he fights for you like you're family - can't say it better than that.read more

He treats his employees with a level of respect, appreciation and honesty that I've truly not seen anywhere else that I've worked.

He's an honest man who treats people honorably.read more

I don't know much about Tim the lawyer, but I do know about Tim the man. Tim the man befriended me as a youth and gave... me the motivation to excel in school. Tim the man wrote the letter that got me into college and got me a helpful scholarship. Tim the man gave me an internship while in college. Tim the man has been a friend to me for over ten years. He makes himself available day or night whether I need advice or just want to talk about the day. There a lot of stigmas about attorneys (and they are earned) but Tim Misny bucks the stereotype. And if Tim the lawyer is half a good as Tim the man, he will live up to his word, and make them pay.read more
