Do you need a lawyer who’s ready to fight to help you pursue the highest compensation possible for your injuries?
Our personal injury lawyers serving Colerain can help you navigate the complexities of the law, helping protect your rights when suffering injuries in:
Car Accidents
Hamilton County averaged 71 deaths, 392 serious injuries, 3,133 minor injuries and 22,006 incidents, all relating to traffic crashes, between 2021 and 2023. Collisions can be fatal, cause life-changing or minor injuries, leave you without transportation and more.
If multiple parties or a commercial entity are involved in an accident, the case becomes even more complicated.
Acting quickly will allow you to seek damages for your injuries and losses while holding all negligent parties responsible.
Truck Accidents
A truck accident is similar to a car accident. Someone’s negligence led to your injuries and loss, which can include:
Truck driver
Manufacturers
Loading company
Mechanics
Heavy cargo and massive weights of up to 80,000 pounds can make truck accidents very severe and often fatal. You’ll need the help of a lawyer with experience who can determine who is at fault for the accident and hold all parties accountable.
Motorcycle Accidents
One of the deadliest types of accidents our personal injury lawyers serving Colerain handle is motorcycle accidents. Motorists often fail to see motorcyclists, causing significant injuries or death on impact.
Motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to die in accidents with passenger vehicles and four times more likely to experience serious injuries.
We’ll evaluate the circumstances leading up to your accident and help you seek the compensation you deserve.
Dog Bites & Attacks
Dog attacks, like in the example at the top of this page, have clear laws: the dog’s owner is responsible for damages. Even friendly dogs can attack, causing disfigurement, broken bones, lacerations and more.
Often, a homeowner’s insurance policy will cover medical bills, but the owner may be responsible for paying other damages.
Drunk Driving Accident Victims
In 2023, there were more than 6,400 accidents in Hamilton County involving drivers operating a vehicle while impaired (OVI). Slow reaction time and poor decision-making are common in these accidents. Injuries are often severe due to many OVIs involving speeding or reckless driving, and injuries can include lacerations, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and many others.
A driver is considered to be impaired if:
They had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher as someone over 21, OR
0.02% BAC for someone under 21
Bus Accidents
Bus accidents can cause serious injuries, but pursuing compensation for the damages you incurred can be complex. These types of injury claims can be especially complicated when the bus service is run by the government. You need an attorney with the right experience and understanding of the law surrounding bus accident claims.
Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents are more common than you think. While Uber and Lyft have insurance policies, injured victims struggle to obtain fair compensation for their medical care, lost wages and other damages. As personal injury lawyers serving Colerain, we know the tactics rideshare and driver insurance companies use to avoid paying a fair settlement for injuries. We’ll fight to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their premises. When they fail to meet this standard, they may be held liable for injuries. Premises liability claims can arise due to slip and fall accidents, negligent maintenance, defective construction and other accidents. The first step is to determine whether the property owner owed you a duty of care and whether their negligence caused your injuries. We can help you determine whether you have a case and pursue a claim.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Every year, hundreds of pedestrians and bicyclists are injured in accidents caused by another party’s negligence. Often, victims suffer serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones and more. Our attorneys will fight to obtain the maximum compensation you’re entitled to by law to cover mounting medical expenses, lost income and other damages.
Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one is devastating, especially when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence. Many types of accidents can lead to wrongful death, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, defective products, train accidents and more. Depending on the circumstances of the case, you may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, loss of income, medical expenses and more.
How to Choose A Personal Injury Lawyer
A personal injury lawyer will advocate for your rights, negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and help you pursue the maximum compensation you’re entitled to under the law.
Finding the right attorney is key.
Here are a few important things to consider when choosing a lawyer:
Experience. Your lawyer should have experience handling personal injury cases and, specifically, dealing with cases similar to yours. Their previous experience will help them negotiate a fair settlement and help you navigate the claims process.
Strong negotiation skills. Insurance companies often try to deny or delay claims or make low-ball offers to pay out as little as possible. You need an attorney with strong negotiation skills who won’t not back down and will fight zealously on your behalf.
Accessibility. Your lawyer should be available to answer questions and ensure that you’re always up to date on your case’s progress.
Additionally, you need a lawyer and a firm you can trust. You should feel confident in your attorney’s capabilities.
