What to Expect When Working With an Attorney

You know what kind of cases our Athens personal injury lawyers tackle, but what should you expect when you work with an attorney? Our team offers you the following:

A Thorough Investigation Into Your Accident

You need evidence if you want to bring a personal injury case forward in Ohio. However, you may not have the time or physical ability to gather the evidence essential to your recovery. Fortunately, our team can step in and put in the hours to build your case.

We work with experienced industry professionals to gather the data that may impact your right to recover. We can comprehensively analyze your accident’s electronic footprint and digital footage. Moreover, we can wrangle witnesses to take their statements before their memories start to fade.

Mediation During Conversations With Other Parties Involved in Your Case

We understand that you may not want to have a conversation with the party responsible for your personal injury accident. That’s why we offer to manage your conversations with that offending party. When we mediate personal injury negotiations, we keep tempers in check and streamline the negotiation process.

We offer these same services while you’re in conversation with an insurance claims adjuster, albeit to an elevated degree. Our influence on your negotiations with an insurance company protects you from that company’s bad-faith behavior. In other words, we prevent insurance companies from:

Ghosting you
Hiding evidence from you
Denying you access to accident data
Minimizing your losses

A Fair Fight for the Damages You Deserve

We believe that you deserve comprehensive support in the wake of a serious accident. This means that both insurance claims adjusters and a liable party should value your losses fairly. Unfortunately, neither party will want to give you as much support as you deserve unless you fight for it.

You can count on our team to calculate the value of your personal injury claim before filing that claim within the civil system. When we calculate the value of your losses, we make it easier for you to ask for the compensation you need to pay all of your bills. The losses we can most often include in personal injury claims include the following:

Property damage, rentals, and repairs
Emotional distress
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Medical bills
Reduced quality of life

We Stay on Top of Your Filing Deadlines

You don’t have forever to file a personal injury claim with Ohio’s civil courts. Revised Code § 2305.10 limits your actionable time. You have two years and no longer to bring your losses to a judge’s attention. If you don’t file a claim by the second anniversary of your accident, you may waive your right to compensation.

Our personal injury lawyers in Athens understand that it’s not easy to stay on top of a filing deadline when you’ve got life and injuries to deal with. That’s why we manage your filing timeline for you. You can count on our staff to submit your finalized claim well before your statute of limitations expires.

Our role in your case makes it easy for you to protect your right to legal action without sacrificing your right to return to work or seek out specialized medical care.

For the most part when you need legal representation something has not gone well. You are concerned, anxiety is up, you feel low, even frightened, and there does not seem to be a light anywhere around. Thus, I am very happy that I called CooperElliott. Much of that despair began to lift, I knew I had someone behind me, in front of me, beside me, and that I was not alone. I was treated like I had been a client for forever by everyone I was in contact with and met with. A great firm that will fight for you, and that means a great deal when you need someone who will do that with you. Thank you CooperElliott.

Through the law firm Cooper Elliott, I dealt with attorney, Bart Keyes. Bart was very thorough and understood that I Had no clue of how this process would go. Bart took the time needed to help educate me on this process for a very positive outcome.I can’t thank Bart and the staff at Cooper Elliott enough for all they have done for me. I am now able to move on with my life!

My name is Anthony Johnson and I just spoke with Ben Cooper about a wrongful accusation case, unfortunately they don't take on cases such as these but Ben gave me some valuable information and I could tell he really was trying to help me. Very knowledgeable and a great listener. Give him all call for anything law related. Made me feel important.

I worked with Adam Richards and his team. They were empathetic to my situation and extremely professional. I don't know what I would have done without their expert guidance and counsel. Adam really knows his stuff, and it was clear he had an excellent rapport with all who assisted in the case. Adam's communication abilities were next level. I never had to worry about getting ahold of him when needed. I know he and his team will continue to knock it out of the park for all future clients like they did for me.

My husband, Bob and I were injured in an automobile accident in December, 2022 when someone came through a Stop sign. We contacted Cooper Elliott, and were fortunate to work with Sean Alto and Kaela King. They came to our home several times to meet us and discuss the case, and got to know us personally as well as professionally. They really care about their clients! In addition, Michael Tonovitz stayed in contact with us to keep us informed on the progress of the case, which was resolved to our satisfaction.We highly recommend this law firm for personal injury!

I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.

Excellent firm. The firm was referred to us for a commercial dispute. Bart Keyes is a master negotiator and kept us informed at all times. Highly recommend.

Jonathan Bond handled a personal injury claim for me quickly with maximum results. He’s pleasant and enjoyable to work with, as well as compassionate. The firm handled all the legwork of getting medical records and copies of paperwork, which not all firms do. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone and would definitely go back to him if the need were to arise again.

Very satisfied! We dealt with Bart Keyes who showed genuine interest in our situation. Bart was always very quick to respond when we had questions and kept us informed throughout the case. If you need legal representation for a commercial real estate dispute we highly recommend Bart and the Cooper Elliot firm!

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!

I would highly recommend Cooper Elliott to any of my friends and family! Chip Cooper was extremely helpful guiding me through a difficult process. Chip was patient with me and provided feedback during the process that kept me informed until the desired outcome was achieved. There were interactions with other staff of the firm (whose names I do not know) that were helpful as well, I was impressed with the entire team!

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.
