RIDSHARE ACCIDENTS: Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft are more complex and difficult to hold accountable in car accidents due to their unique business models. Having an experienced legal professional on your side is key.

Frequently Asked Questions

The personal injury attorneys at Minnillo Law Group understand that being injured in an accident can be a confusing and overwhelming experience. You probably have a lot of questions about what to do next and how to protect your legal rights. To help you get started, we have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about personal injury law.

What is personal injury?

A personal injury, as defined under Ohio law, refers to any harm caused to a person such as physical injuries, emotional distress or mental suffering that results from another party’s negligence, intentional acts or strict liability. Many personal injury cases involve incidents such as automobile accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice or workplace injuries.

In Ohio, a personal injury claim is a legal avenue for injured individuals to seek compensation for their losses and damages. This encompasses not only medical expenses and lost wages but also non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Specifically, Section 2305.10 of the Ohio Revised Code plays a crucial role in personal injury cases. This section stipulates the statute of limitations for bodily injury or injury to personal property. It states that an action for such injuries must be brought within two years of the occurrence of the accident or incident that caused the injury. This means that as an injured party, you have a two-year window from the date of the injury to initiate legal proceedings against the party responsible for your damages.

How do I know if I have a case?

If someone hurt you on accident or on purpose, you might have a case. An experienced personal injury lawyer from the Minnillo Law Group can review what happened and tell you what to do next.

What can I do if my insurance denies my claim?

When your insurance company says no to your claim, it can feel like the end. But it doesn’t have to be. If you work with a lawyer, you can make sure you have all the papers you need (like your medical records) and your appeal is taken seriously.

Consider the reason why

First, think about why your claim was denied. It could be for lots of reasons, but knowing why can help you decide what to do next. Even if you just got denied, it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer. They can help you figure out what to do.

Appeal the claim

One thing you can do is appeal the denied claim. Most insurance policies have rules for appeals. A lawyer can help you collect the proof you need for the appeal and help you get paid what you should.

If you think your insurance company is not being fair or is breaking the law, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit. You have to do it within a certain time, so it’s important to talk to an attorney as soon as you can.

How much will it cost to hire an attorney?

Many attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will not owe any fees unless the attorney recovers compensation for you. Minnillo Law Group offers free initial consultations, so you can learn about your legal options without any obligation before hiring one of our personal injury lawyers.

How can a personal injury lawyer help me?

Hiring a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer is a part of how you reclaim your control after a serious accident. You might feel out of your depth, but that’s the wrong mindset. When it comes to working with an attorney, ask yourself:

  • Do I want to be involved in every step?
  • Do I want a fast process?
  • What is my goal?
  • How far am I willing to go?

These seem like simple questions to answer, but they can guide you through what may be a particularly trying moment. For some people, it may be that they want an attorney who will do everything and tell them how it turned out when it’s all over. Others may want an attorney that keeps in contact with them throughout the entire process from beginning to end. It’s up to you.

What Should You Do If You Are Injured In An Accident?

If you get into a car accident, call 911 for help from the police and an ambulance if someone is hurt. Don’t admit it was your fault to the other driver and ask the police to file a report. Other steps include:

  • Go to the doctor right away. Even if you think you’re okay or feel just a little sore, it’s still important to get checked by a medical professional.
  • Take photographs of the damage to your car and your injuries, including any cuts and bruises.
  • Do not speak to any insurance company, including your own, before talking with a personal injury lawyer.
  • Stay off social media. Anything you post online may be used by the other insurance companies later in the case.

Types Of Compensation

There are many different types of personal injury compensation. If you have been injured in a serious accident in Cincinnati, you may be able to receive payment for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also be able to recover additional money (known as punitive damages) if the other person was extremely careless. If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s carelessness, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This type of claim can help you receive payment for things such as funeral expenses and loss of companionship.

MEDICAL TREATMENT

When you get hurt, your medical bills are part of what you can get paid for. This includes things like appointments, surgeries, and hospital stays. If you need ongoing care or medication, that cost will be considered too. Will you need long-term care to maintain your health after a severe injury? Does your injury require extensive physical therapy? Will your injury result in ongoing medication use or the use of mobility aids? It’s important to think about the future and how much these expenses might add up over time.

LOST INCOME

As you recover from your injuries, you might find yourself unable to work. You may be able to get compensation for this.

The money you receive can also include how much you would have made in the future if you didn’t get hurt (known as “loss of earning capacity”). For example, if you or your loved one can’t work anymore because of the injury, this will be taken into account.

PROPERTY LOSS

When you get hurt in an accident, it’s not just your body that gets damaged. Your stuff can get damaged too, like your car, clothes, or bike. If that happens, the person who caused the accident has to pay you for the cost of fixing or replacing your things.

EMOTIONAL DISTRESS

Accidents are really stressful. You might have to pay a lot of money for medical bills and deal with difficult conversations with insurance companies. All that stress can affect your life, and this can also be taken into account for compensation.

LOSS OF ENJOYMENT

The loss of enjoyment considers the impact that your injuries have on your day-to-day life. Has damage to your hands prevented you from pursuing your love of music? Has a leg injury limited your ability to enjoy bicycling in the way you did before? Has your injury impacted your ability to pursue a hobby, exercise or another form of recreation? These lost opportunities are considered to be a loss of enjoyment.

FUNERAL COSTS

If your case involves the wrongful death of a loved one, the cost of their funeral could be included in the compensation you receive.

LOSS OF CONSORTIUM

While no sum of money can make up for the loss of a loved one, that loss can be compensated for in a wrongful death case. Their loved ones can receive compensation for the loss of their relationship with the victim.

PAIN AND SUFFERING

Your suffering — physical and emotional — is certainly a challenge you face after an accident, and additional compensation may be awarded in light of that pain and suffering.
