Cincinnati Personal Injury Lawyer

If you suffered an injury at the hands of someone else, you could be left with bills piling up from expenses and wage losses. These expenses might include things like medical bills or property damage repair. If the accident wasn’t even your fault, why should you be stuck with these expenses?

From the beginning, hiring a personal injury attorney like Mark Newman can help ensure you receive the compensation needed to pay for these damages and losses. Holding the negligent person accountable is the least you can do to pay back for the injury and expenses they’ve cost you. While you recover physically, a personal injury attorney can help you recover financially. 

Drivers who are fatigued, texting, or otherwise not paying attention can cause accidents in a fraction of a second. Other accidents happen when products fail or property owners do not fix hazards. Things like slippery surfaces and bumpy walkways could lead to serious injury.

Sometimes there can be more than one negligent party involved. The best way to determine who was at fault and whether you have a valid personal injury claim is to talk to an attorney.

Mark Newman will conduct his own investigation to determine who all is responsible and the damages they may owe you. 

A personal injury case could range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands. Though the average settlement usually falls somewhere around $25,000. However, the settlement for a personal injury claim is unique to each individual case. The payout you’re able to receive depends on a number of factors. 

The first and most obvious factor is the extent of your injury. For example, a severe head injury could bring in much more than a sprained ankle could. This is because of the seriousness of a head injury as well as the medical bills that likely accompanied it.

Your choice of attorney also plays a large role in how much you’re able to collect. Having a skilled, knowledgeable negotiator on your side could be the difference between thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands.

Personalized attention

To begin with, Mark Newman will look into several factors that can affect your amount in compensation. Important factors that play into how much you can receive include:

• Past, present, and future medical expenses that resulted from the injury
• Lost wages
• Emotional distress
  • Any mental or emotional trauma that resulted from the injury.
  • This could include anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. 
• Property damage
  • For example, vehicle repair costs resulting from a car accident.
• Loss of consortium
  • If the injury resulted in the inability to carry on a relationship.
• Pain and suffering
  • The pain and suffering you may have endured at the scene of the accident or any amount of time following can increase your compensation by a significant amount.
