Were You Injured by Someone’s Negligence While Driving?

Below is a list of the most common injuries suffered when a car accident occurs.

Whiplash Injury

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury that commonly affects the neck and upper back. It occurs due to a sudden and forceful jerking motion of the head, often resulting from rear-end collisions, or when a vehicle is hit from behind. The impact causes the head to rapidly snap backward and then forward, straining the soft tissues in the neck. Whiplash can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may end up with limited neck mobility, discomfort during daily activities, and the need for physical therapy or chiropractic care to aid in the recovery.

Fractures

Fractures, or broken bones, can be sustained in car accidents and can occur in various parts of the body depending on the impact’s force and location. High-speed collisions or T-bone accidents (side impact) can result in fractures due to the significant force and compression exerted on the bones. The severity of fractures can vary, ranging from hairline fractures to compound fractures that pierce the skin. Fractures may involve a period of restricted mobility while the bones heal, and the need for physical therapy to regain strength and function. There are potential long-term consequences depending on the extent of the fracture.

Head Injuries

Head injuries encompass a broad spectrum, from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and are often caused by direct impact to the head or violent jerking motions. Head-on collisions or accidents, where the vehicle is crushed or rolls over, can lead to severe head injuries due to an impact with the steering wheel, windshield, or roof. Head trauma may result in varying cognitive and physical abilities, ranging from temporary confusion to long-term disabilities. You may need extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and significant adjustments to daily living activities, for you and caregivers.

Chest Injuries

Chest injuries resulting from car accidents can range from bruising and rib fractures, to to internal organ damage. Frontal collisions, where the driver or passenger’s chest hits the steering wheel or dashboard can lead to severe chest injuries. The severity of the injury depends on the force of the impact and the individual’s overall health. Lifestyle changes resulting from chest injury may include pain management during the recovery period, oxygen dependence, and the need to modify certain activities to avoid exacerbating the injury.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are among the most severe consequences of a car accident and can cause partial or complete paralysis. Spinal cord injuries typically result from a severe impact that damages the spinal cord, affecting the body’s nerve impulses and motor function. High-speed accidents, rollovers, or collisions with significant force can cause spinal cord injuries. Lifestyle changes following a spinal cord injury are often substantial, requiring long-term medical care, the use of assistive devices, and extensive adjustments to daily living activities and mobility. Individuals with spinal cord injuries may require ongoing physical and occupational therapy to improve function and adapt to the new challenges posed by the injury.

Getting into a car or truck accident can be devastating. In a split second, your life can change, often times through no fault of your own. You need a personal injury attorney with experience, and a history of success. Call me today for your free consultation, and I’ll Make Them Pay!®

Are You a Victim of a Medical Mistake at EMH Elyria Medical Center?

Personal injury attorneys work to affect change in the medical community. I have spent my career making sure doctors treat all patients with the standard of care they deserve. Unfortunately, mistakes are still made. Listed below are the most common types of medical malpractice.

Surgical Errors

There can be a range of mistakes made during surgical procedures, such as a wrong-site surgery, organ damage, or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient’s body. These errors can lead to complications, infections, and prolonged recovery times. The injury may occur due to miscommunication among medical staff, inadequate preoperative planning, or surgeon fatigue. Surgical errors may extend hospital stays, require additional surgeries for correction, physical therapy, and emotional distress.

Medication Errors

When patients are prescribed the wrong medication, such as an incorrect dosage, they may experience adverse drug interactions. These errors may result in allergic reactions, organ damage, or worsening medical conditions. The mistakes may happen due to misreading prescriptions, incorrect dosage calculations, or poor communication among healthcare providers. These can lead to exaggerated side effects of medications and frequent doctor visits to monitor symptoms or change treatment.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis is the failure to identify a patient’s medical condition accurately or promptly. This may cause delayed or incorrect treatment, worsening of the underlying condition, and missed opportunities for early intervention. Medical mistakes may occur due to inadequate examination, misinterpretation of test results, or communication breakdown among healthcare providers. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can result in the need for more aggressive treatment, managing a more advanced or chronic condition, and potential emotional and financial burdens.

Birth Injuries

Injuries sustained by infants during childbirth, such as nerve damage, fractures, or oxygen deprivation leading to brain damage, are known as birth injuries. They can result from improper delivery techniques, delayed response to fetal distress, or inadequate monitoring during labor and delivery. Adverse effects from birth injuries can include lifelong medical care for the child, specialized therapies, and significant emotional and financial strain on the family.

Hospital-Acquired Infections

Problems occur when patients develop an infection while receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. These infections can be due to improper sterilization techniques, unsanitary conditions, or healthcare providers not following proper hygiene protocols. The infection can lead to extended hospital stays, additional treatment, and, in severe cases, life-threatening complications. Hospital-acquired infections may include ongoing medical treatment, extended recovery periods, and the need for extra precautions.

Personal injury lawyers have a duty to hold negligent doctors accountable, and provide you with damages to afford the additional care you may need. In my 40 years of providing legal representation to those wrongfully injured, I have dealt with a variety of medical mistakes. I am here for you. Call me today, and I’ll Make Them Pay!®

Other Types Of Personal Injuries

Slip and Fall Injuries: These injuries occur when a person slips, trips, or falls on someone else’s property due to hazardous conditions, such as a wet floor, uneven surface, or inadequate maintenance. The accidents can lead to sprains, fractures, or head injuries, depending on the severity of the fall. If you suffer a slip and fall injury, you may face mobility limitations during recovery, potential loss of income due to missed work, and possible lifestyle adjustments to avoid aggravating the injury.

Product Liability Injuries: Defective products, such as malfunctioning machinery, faulty medical devices, or contaminated food items can cause serious problems. These injuries can range from minor cuts and burns to severe internal organ damage or poisoning. They may also lead to ongoing medical treatment, potential legal actions against the product manufacturer, and heightened caution when using similar products in the future.

Premises Liability Injuries: When someone is injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions, such as inadequate security, poorly maintained premises, or lack of warning signs, it’s a legal issue. These may cause broken bones, head injuries, or back injuries, depending on the nature of the hazard. If you suffer a premises liability injury, you might experience pain and discomfort during recovery, potential long-term rehabilitation or therapy. If you’ve suffered an injury due to an unsafe premises, I’ll be your personal injury attorney, and I’ll seek financial compensation through a premises liability claim.

Dog Bite Injuries: Injuries that occur when a person is bitten or attacked by a dog due to the owner’s negligence or failure to control their pet. They can range from minor wounds to severe lacerations and infections. If you suffer a dog bite injury, it may result in emotional trauma, potential scarring or disfigurement, and lifestyle changes to cope with the fear of dogs or potential post-traumatic stress.

Workplace Injuries: On the job injuries due to unsafe working conditions, lack of safety protocols, or employer negligence. These injuries can vary widely, including sprains, fractures, or occupational illnesses. If you experience a workplace injury, you may face time away from work for recovery, a potential workers’ compensation claim, and changes to your job responsibilities.

Crush Injuries: Crush injuries occur when a body part is subjected to significant pressure or force, leading to tissue damage, and fractures. This can occur from accidents involving heavy machinery, a building collapse, or being pinned between objects. Crush injuries can be life changing. If you suffer a crush injury, you will likely face prolonged recovery, potential disability or loss of limb function. You may require adaptive devices or assistive technologies to aid mobility.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Caused by a sudden jolt or blow to the head, TBIs can lead to brain dysfunction or damage. Issues can range from mild concussions to a severe brain hemorrhage or contusions. These injuries may result from slip and fall accidents, sports-related impact, or violent incidents. If you suffer a traumatic brain injury, you may also experience cognitive and memory difficulties, and potential changes in behavior and personality.

Wrongful Death: Wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligence or intentional actions result in the death of another person. This can happen in various scenarios, including car accidents, medical malpractice, or workplace accidents. Loved ones who are left behind after a wrongful death, experience immense emotional distress and financial strain.

If you’ve suffered any of the injuries noted above, you need to call me. We’ll review your situation, and discuss your personal injury claim.

Medical Expenses: Compensation for medical expenses to cover the costs of hospitalization, surgeries, doctor visits, medications, and any other necessary medical treatments related to your injuries.

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
