Personal Injury Attorney and Insurance Companies

An insurance company is often the entity responsible for paying damages in a personal injury lawsuit. To understand this, we need to delve into the concept of insurance and the role it plays in compensating injured parties. Additionally, in pursuing a lawsuit against an insurance company, you’ll need an experienced personal injury representation to deal with the insurance companies. With more than 40 years of injury law experience, I have gone up up against the largest insurance companies and won on behalf of my clients.

The Role of Insurance Companies: Insurance companies offer financial protection to individuals or organizations in the form of insurance policies. People pay premiums to the insurance company, and in return, the insurance company promises to provide coverage and compensation for certain types of losses or damages. For example, individuals may have auto insurance to cover damages in case of a car accident or health insurance to cover medical expenses in case of injury or illness.

Compulsory Insurance Laws: In many jurisdictions, there are compulsory insurance laws that require individuals or entities to have specific types of insurance coverage. For example, doctors are often required to have medical malpractice insurance to cover potential damages resulting from errors. This ensures that injured parties have a means of seeking compensation.

Financial Responsibility: In personal injury lawsuits, the liable party is responsible for paying damages to the injured party. However, the defendant may not always have the financial means to cover these damages fully. Insurance companies act as a financial backstop, providing the necessary funds to compensate the injured party up to the limits of the insurance policy.

Faster and More Certain Compensation: Insurance companies are equipped to handle claims efficiently and promptly. When someone is injured and files a claim against the responsible party’s insurance, the process typically moves faster than if they were to pursue a lawsuit directly against the at-fault party. This ensures more immediate compensation for medical bills, wrongful death, etc.

Reduces Burden on the Legal System: Insurance companies help reduce the burden on the legal system by handling claims outside of court. This allows the courts to focus on more complex cases while enabling injured parties to obtain compensation without resorting to lengthy and costly litigation.

Expertise in Evaluating Claims: Insurance companies have experienced claims adjusters who are skilled at evaluating the extent of damages and determining appropriate compensation. While they aim to minimize payouts, their expertise helps ensure a fair settlement for the injured party.

Importance of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer:

In Painesville, personal injury cases are often handled directly with the insurance company. I have helped injured victims obtain the compensation they deserve throughout my career. Below are someone of the reasons why you need to call me if you’ve suffered from wrongdoing.

1. Legal Expertise: I specialize in handling cases like yours, understanding the legal complexities and potential pitfalls involved. My knowledge of personal injury laws enables me to build a strong case on your behalf.

2. Experience in Dealing with Insurance Companies: With a long history of interacting with insurance companies during negotiations and settlements, my experience is critically important. I understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts and can counter these strategies effectively.

3. Calculating Fair Compensation: Determining the value of your personal injury claim can be challenging. I work with a team of professionals that assess your damages comprehensively, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future rehabilitation costs, to help you seek justice and fair compensation.

4. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: As a successful personal injury attorney, I have the resources and experience to conduct a thorough investigation, gather evidence, and interview witnesses to support your claim. This strengthens your case and increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

5. Negotiation Skills: Negotiating with insurance companies can be difficult, as they aim to settle claims for as little as possible. I have a history as a skilled negotiator who can advocate for your rights and fight for a fair settlement on your behalf.

6. Litigation Experience: If negotiations with the insurance company fail, I will take your case to court. My litigation experience ensures your interests are protected during the trial process.

7. Contingency Fee Arrangement: I work on a contingency fee basis, meaning I only get paid if I successfully secure compensation for you. Not all personal injury attorneys have this capability. This arrangement allows you to access legal representation without upfront costs.

I pay every cost of your case up front, so you don’t have to worry! I am paid only if your case resolves successfully.

If you or a family member suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of someone’s mistake in Painesville or anywhere in Northeast Ohio, call me as soon as possible.  As your personal injury lawyer, I’ll be there for you, and I’ll Make Them Pay!®

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
