Corporate Negligence

A corporation may be financially responsible for an individual’s injuries if an employee harms someone in the course of employment; if the corporation fails to maintain its property or equipment; if the corporation manufactures or distributes a defective product or even if a corporate employer causes intentional injury to an employee.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, nurse or other healthcare professional fails to take necessary precautions or acts negligently in his or her duties as a healthcare provider, resulting in a patient’s injury or death.

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents may cause serious injuries to other motorists, bystanders and pedestrians alike and in many cases, the trucking company employing the truck driver may be liable for those injuries. Our Cincinnati truck accident attorneys can help you determine the strength of a trucking accident claim.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Some of the most egregious personal injuries occur in the context of nursing home abuse and neglect. All too often, residents of substandard nursing homes do not receive appropriate care or medical attention and may even become the victims of physical abuse. Excessively medicating and needlessly restraining nursing home residents are only two examples of ways that elder abuse may happen. Neglect of nursing home residents can lead to dehydration, weight loss, bedsores and even death.

Products Liability

Companies that produce defective products are liable for the injuries those products cause. Defective products may take the form of automobile components, pharmaceutical drugs, machinery, consumer products and prosthetic devices, such as hip implants.

Serious Automobile Accidents

Permanently disabling, temporary disabling and even fatal injuries may result from another person’s negligent or reckless driving. In these circumstances, the injured party and family may have a legal cause of action for compensation for those injuries, which may include the costs of past and future medical bills, lost wages and many other types of expenses and losses. Only an experienced Cincinnati car accident attorney can give you proper representation in a serious automobile accident.

Industrial Accidents

As many factories utilize potentially hazardous equipment and chemicals in their daily operations, it is no surprise that serious or fatal injuries may occur to workers. Legal liability for the factory owner, the employer, third party contractors, product manufacturers or others may exist when injuries result from the bad acts of others.

Electrocution Accidents

Electrocution accidents may happen in a variety of contexts, but most often occur in industrial or agricultural settings. Similar to industrial accidents, electrocution can result from a company’s failure to maintain its equipment or adhere to essential safety standards.

Farming Accidents

Farming accidents often involve poorly maintained or designed equipment and a lack of safety precautions. Given the weight and hazardous nature of most farm machinery, serious injuries from farming accidents are commonplace.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

A person can sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in many ways. The amount of force does not necessarily correlate to the extent of injury. Often, so called “mild brain injuries” can profoundly affect the victim’s ability to work, maintain personal relationships and enjoy life. Preparing and proving a TBI case requires specific knowledge, experience and access to the appropriate experts.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can cause lifelong problems, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. Damage to the spinal cord is often permanent and can lead to infection. A spine-injured person may require around-the-clock care, special equipment, home modifications and years of medical treatments, which can create a heavy financial and emotional burden. Spinal cord injuries have been shown to reduce a person’s life expectancy and have a negative impact on the injured person’s quality of life.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries have characteristics unlike other types of injuries. The chain of events that follow a serious burn can affect almost every bodily organ, resulting in unexpected disabilities and problems. Like the TBI injury, familiarity with this special class of injury in necessary to effectively represent the injured person.

Excessive Use of Force by Police

Police are taught a variety of methods to perform their duties when force is necessary. They often are expected to use tools ranging from voice commands to tazers and firearms. Sometimes police are inadequately trained or simply apply too much force, resulting in serious injuries or death. This is an extremely technical area of the law and requires experienced legal counsel to be successful.

Employer Intentional Torts

When an employer intentionally creates a circumstance that hurts an employee, either with the intent to hurt an employee or with the belief that injury was substantially certain, the employer is responsible for damages and injuries, over and above workers’ compensation. This is a very technical area of the law in Ohio, but it involves some of the most awful injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents almost always involve serious injuries for the simple reason that the rider’s unprotected body is immediately impacted by the other vehicle, the road or other things in the environment. Often special considerations must be taken into account in the investigation and reconstruction of motorcycle accidents.

Bus Accidents

As a commercial motor vehicle, specific regulations apply to the operation of buses. Drivers have requirements for the amount of time they are allowed to drive, rest requirements and other rules that specifically apply to bus operation. Bus companies are required to provide adequate maintenance, employee screening, supervision and training to minimize the likelihood of accidents. Because of their size and weight, bus accidents often result in multiple serious injuries to both passengers in the bus as well as motorists and pedestrians outside the bus. Knowledge of commercial vehicle operation and recordkeeping requirements are necessary for the proper evaluation and pursuit of a bus accident injury claim.

Insurance Bad Faith Claims

Insurance companies have an obligation to deal with their customers honestly and in good faith. Often, claims adjusters or general company policies attempt to underpay or take unfair advantage of their policyholders. This can give rise to both a breach of contract action as well as an action in bad faith. Insurance companies have almost limitless access to money, legal counsel and other advantages that the consumer can’t match. The evaluation and pursuit of an insurance bad faith claim absolutely requires experienced legal counsel.
