Personal Injuries in Columbus
Accident Liability
Personal injury in Columbus and the surrounding areas is a common consequence to serious accidents that occur every day. Some accidents just happen—but many accidents are avoidable and are the direct result of the negligent actions of others:
- Car wrecks caused by drivers distracted by cell phones
- Slip & falls on poorly maintained property
- Dog bites from unsupervised pets
- Failure to repair a faulty stoplight
- Malfunction of ill-designed safety equipment
- Side-effects of improperly tested pharmaceuticals
- Failure to warn patients of medical risks
As the law sees it, no one has the right to intentionally or unintentionally cause others harm. Accident liability laws are used to make legal decisions concerning fault, negligence, and liability factors in accidents.
A good Columbus injury attorney knows how to uncover the right fault and liability factors that will help prove your accident & injury claim. Our attorneys rely on experience and legal ability to find the right kind of evidence to help convince a judge or jury of the cause and long-term effects of your personal injury in Columbus or central Ohio.
Filing Your Claim
Mularski, Bonham, Dittmer & Phillips, LLC advises people to seek legal help for personal injuries. A personal injury attorney provides valuable legal counsel to help you understand your rights and potential settlement value when filing your claim.
Insurance companies often move very quickly to settle claims out-of-court. They do this to avoid the legal cost of litigation and, often, to reach lower settlements with victims not aware of the full value of their damages.
One of the most valuable services our attorneys provide is assessing the total value of our client’s claim:
- Sum total of all medical fees, i.e., emergency care, surgeries, on-going treatment, medications, equipment, etc.
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and damages
- Lost wages and potential earnings
- Loss of consortium
- Permanent disability
- Diminished quality of life
We calculate all of these factors and many others when negotiating settlements for personal injuries.
It is possible to reach an adequate settlement out-of-court, but you will want an experienced attorney to represent you during the mediation or arbitration negotiations to preserve your best interest.
