Types of Catastrophic Injury Accidents We Can Help You With

As a law firm in personal injury litigation, we pride ourselves on being well-equipped to handle a wide range of injury claims. We believe that every case is unique and deserves our undivided attention, care, and expertise. Here are the types of personal injury cases that we handle:

Automobile Accidents

Car crashes, truck accidents, and motorcycle collisions are some of the most common personal injury cases we handle. Our team is well-versed in understanding the intricacies of traffic laws, insurance policies, and medical bills that arise from these accidents. We also specialize in cases where the at-fault party was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Premises Liability Accidents

Accidents in the home and public places are often overlooked, but they can result in serious injuries, such as swimming pool drownings, dog bites, and incidents causing fractures, head injuries, and even spinal cord injuries. Our team of personal injury attorneys knows how to navigate the complicated web of premises liability laws to get our clients the compensation they deserve.

Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims can arise when a product that was used properly causes injury due to design, manufacturing defects, or improper labeling. These claims can range from defective automobiles to malfunctioning household appliances. Our lawyers are familiar with the intricate product liability laws and work with medical experts to prove liability and ensure just compensation.

Workplace Injuries

Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment for their employees. However, workplace injuries are still a common occurrence, particularly in hazardous jobs like construction or manufacturing. Our team is experienced in filing third-party lawsuits to ensure our clients receive the compensation they need to recover from their injuries.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases occur when a medical professional’s negligence leads to a patient’s injury or death. These cases require significant legal knowledge and a team of experienced lawyers who can hold negligent healthcare professionals accountable.

Catastrophic Injuries That Result in a Wrongful Death

Any of the above situations can become a wrongful death case if the victim passes away due to their catastrophic injuries. The victim’s family or estate representatives may hold the responsible party accountable for their actions or inactions that caused the injuries and losses had the victim survived.

Our Dayton Catastrophic Injury Lawyers Will Work Hard for You

One of the most important services that our Dayton, Ohio lawyers give to all our clients is the promise that we will work as hard as possible for your best outcome. We promise to stand with you from the time you hire us until the case’s conclusion.

Unlike some other personal injury law firms that may try to settle your case fast so they can move on to the next client, we give our clients’ cases the time and attention they deserve while fighting for every last dollar.

We Focus Our Recovery Efforts for Damages in Multiple Areas

Insurance companies may try to minimize awards or ignore certain losses, but we will thoroughly investigate the accident and how it has affected your life to ensure we account for all your damages. Knowing the areas where insurers may try to minimize your payout helps us thoroughly prepare for negotiations.

We will seek compensation for the following and more:

• Lost wages: We will seek reimbursement for any time you could not work at your job while recovering from your injuries.
• Medical costs: You should not have to pay your own medical bills if someone else caused your injuries, so we will seek reimbursement for these costs.
• Pain and suffering: While your pain has no direct monetary value, it still deserves compensation. We can seek compensation for the effects of your traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, emotional anguish, reduced quality of life, or any disfiguring or disabling injuries. With our experience helping injured people, we know how to calculate an accurate amount to seek for your pain and suffering award.
• Property damage: You have a right to seek compensation to cover the repair of damaged property or the costs to replace destroyed property.

We Can Help You Estimate Your Future Damages

Because you cannot request more money in the future after agreeing to a settlement, it is important to request the proper amount of money right away. You deserve to receive enough money to cover any long-term medical care and other potential future losses.

Your Dayton catastrophic injury lawyer’s experience will be valuable in calculating an appropriate settlement covering your future medical bills, future lost wages, and ongoing pain and suffering.

We Can Help You Understand Ohio’s Catastrophic Injury Laws

In Ohio Revised Code Section 2315.18, the state defines a catastrophic injury as either of the following:

• A permanent and significant deformity, such as loss of limb or loss of function of a major bodily organ 
• A permanent injury that prevents the victim from being able to care for themselves 

This is an important legal designation, as the law does not limit non-economic damages for catastrophic injury victims.

As you might imagine, insurance companies prefer to calculate a settlement for pain and suffering in a severe accident case without the catastrophic injury designation because they prefer to limit your damages. Consequently, if you meet the qualifications, our team will work tirelessly to prove you have catastrophic injuries and deserve a higher payout.

We Provide Legal Services on a Contingency Fee Basis

We are aware of the hardships our clients are facing when recovering from a catastrophic injury. You could be away from work for months, years, or possibly forever. Medical care alone can often be astronomically expensive due to surgeries, rehab, therapy, and rest. You may even need a family member to sacrifice their time and life to help care for you as you recover. 

To help victims like you and your family get the legal representation you need without adding more financial stress, we work on contingency. A contingency agreement allows us to represent you without any upfront fees. We only get paid when you win a settlement or court award. 

Trust the Experience of Our Dayton Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

When insurance companies try to deny or limit your compensation, our team’s experience can be an advantage for you. We work with victims of catastrophic accidents daily, and we know how to collect facts that prove the serious nature of your injuries.

Another area of service that you receive from The Fitch Law Firm LLC is our willingness to spend time with you. We’ll discuss your goals, your fears and hopes for the future, and what you want to accomplish with your legal claim or personal injury lawsuit.

We want this information so we can properly represent you. Other law firms may guess what you want to accomplish or dictate appropriate goals to you. This is not how we operate. We tailor our strategy for each case to each client’s unique wishes and goals.
