Life can and will changedramatically when you or a loved one iswrongfully injured or financialy harmed.The list of problems and difficulties can be seemingly endless.This includes the inconvenience of multiple doctors appointments, property damage to cars and motorcycles, injuries, illness,most unfortunately at times death and loss of income.
Further problems often include finding appropriate medical treatment, payment for medical bills, loss of employment, subrogation or repayment to yourinsurance companies as well as vehicle rental, replacement and repair.I have a very successful track record in resolving these problems for clients and providing assistance through the difficult times.
Please note that my practice concentration is in the area of Personal Injury,Accident Claims and Securities Disputes.Please feel free to call for a free consultation. I have successfully completed over 300accident claims andmany investor claims.
Nursing home negligence cases have been greatly clarified by the passage of the Ohio law known as the Patients Bill of Rights. Nursing homes have many obligations to prevent abuse and properly and fairly treat those in their care and custody. Unfortunately, negligence and abuse often occur with a lack of the high standards of respect patients deserve.Injuries resulting from improper or overmedication, improper bed care, malnourishment sub-standard hygiene, etc. are not at all unusual.My goal is to assist in advancing proper nursing home care and obtaining compensation for those who have been wrongfully treated.
Please keep in mind that insurance companies are very financially powerful and have resources that the common person cannot compete with.As with any profession or trade it takes a great deal of experience and knowledge in order to delve into the complex topics of personal injury and insurance reimbursement.Please be very careful to choose an experienced professional or the odds that you will be taken advantage of will greatly increase.Unfortunately, many have been taken advantage of by seemingly "friendly" insurance adjusters.Their job and bottom line is to take care of the insurance company first and leave you in second place.
Youmay be charged on a contingency fee basis and there is a fee only if there is a recovery.Regarding injury cases,the costs of your case are advanced by myself and repayment is required only if there is a recovery. You are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, automobile repair or replacement and a rental car if necessary.
Automobile,motor cycle and dog bite accidents can change one's life instantly. Dealing with injuries and medical treatment is often only the beginning of the story. A very complex coordination of insurance coverages and medical bills is now thrust upon an injured person. This includes automobile insurance coverage for the driver at fault, the driver and passengers not at fault, medical insurance, insurance subrogation reimbursement (entitlement of insurance companies to reimbursement from a claim), the selection of proper medical treatment and lost wages claims. Several are matters may be at issue including liability or the cause or causes of an accident. In the very unfortunate case of the death these matters are now left to the heirs and beneficiaries.
Another area of great concern is the fact that many insurance companies have adjustors who are assigned the job role of contacting an injured person immediately after an accident. Frequently the goal is to persuade the injured person to accept a settlement which is far less than the genuine value of the case. For example,I have recovered over $20,000 in several cases where the insurance adjuster initially tried to persuade a settlement for only $500. Evaluation of an injury claims is a very complex matter which includes a substantial understanding of medicine and accident related injuries.
Also, the causal connection between an injury and an accident maybe subject to verification or be disputed. Oftentimes expert accident reconstruction is necessary.I havea great deal of experience in all of these areas and has successfully resolved hundreds of claims for innocently injured clients.This isbased uponyears experience as a trial lawyer and a comprehensive knowledge of all matters necessary to present a Jury Trial.I have also successfully pursued injuries caused by dog bites, unsafe work environments and the wrongful denial of insurance claims.
In addition tomy personal injury practice,I ama Certified Arbitration Chairman for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).I have substantial Judicial type experience in this area. This is quite beneficial as far as understanding all sides ina dispute. Securities disputes typically regard whether an investment plan was Suitable or appropriate according to the needs and goals of a particular investor. As an Arbitration Judge, I am thoroughly familiar with all of the applicable Federal and Ohio laws, Rules of Trading and all types of investments. Such disputes are typically resolved by an Arbitration process through FINRA (formerly NASD) or the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). A great deal of knowledge and experience is necessary in order to properly evaluate and present a case. I also have affiliations with the most knowledgeable and nationally successful expert witnesses. My substantial experience in Trials and Securities Arbitration's have resulted in the recovery of investor losses as well as the successful defense of investment advisors and securities brokers. A comprehensive knowledge of all sides of case evaluation and preparation are critical in this unique and highly specialized area.

I recommend that you not discussyour case until you have received appropriate advice. Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free contact me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

..... Do take photos of injuries & auto damage. A picture tells a thousand words.
..... Do not accept a quick settlement offer. This is a device to minimize the valueof your claim.
..... If you need medical treatment start right away. Otherwise an argument can bemade that your injuries are not genuine.
..... Do not agree to an interview until you have had professional advice.Insurance adjusters are advocates for their employer, not you.
..... Several medical providers will agree to wait for payment until your case issettled or will accept insurance alternatives. This includes surgeons, physicaltherapists and chiropractors.
..... Choose an attorney that your doctor can trust. Cooperation goes much further.Several medical offices are cooperative with my office for this reason.
..... The best personal injury lawyers are knowledgeable of the law, medicine,accident reconstruction, insurance negotiation and case valuation. Choosecarefully.
..... Motorcycle accidents have many unique elements. Do not generalize.
