An Overview of Spinal Cord Injuries in Cincinnati

Spinal cord injuries occur when the spinal cord, which is responsible for carrying signals between the brain and other parts of the body, suffers damage. People can suffer these injuries from various accidents, such as car crashes, falls, or workplace incidents.

Depending on the severity, spinal cord damage can cause partial or complete loss of movement and sensation, leading to long–term or permanent disability. In many cases, people receiving care can require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

Beyond the physical challenges, people managing spinal cord injuries can face emotional and financial stress due to medical bills, lost income, and lifestyle changes they must make as they learn to live with a catastrophic injury.

Pain and suffering: Victims can experience physical pain and emotional suffering from spinal cord damage. You can seek compensation for the pain and mental anguish you have experienced due to the injury.

Filing Deadlines for Lawsuits Involving Spinal Cord Injuries

In Ohio, the statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing lawsuits related to spinal cord injuries. For most personal injury cases, including spinal cord injuries caused by accidents, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, per state law.

Missing this deadline could prevent you from recovering any compensation for your injuries, so we encourage you to take immediate action.

However, some exceptions could alter this time frame:

If the injury wasn‘t immediately apparent, the clock may start ticking from the date you discovered or should have reasonably discovered the injury.
For claims involving minors, the two-year deadline begins when the injured child turns 18.

Consulting with our team can help you meet all deadlines in your case and preserve your right to recover compensation. Once we learn more about your situation, we can advise you on the timeline of your case.

How to Protect Your Cincinnati Spinal Cord Injury Case

Taking the right steps after a spinal cord injury can help strengthen your case and improve your chances of receiving compensation. Here are a few tips to protect your spinal cord injury case:

Seek prompt medical attention: Always get medical care immediately, even if your symptoms seem minor. Medical records will play a key role in proving your injury and its connection to the accident.
Follow your treatment plan: Adhering to your doctor’s treatment recommendations is essential. Missing appointments or not following prescribed care could weaken your case by suggesting your injury isn’t as severe as claimed.
Document everything: Keep detailed records of your medical visits, expenses, pain levels, and how your injury affects your daily life. This information will help show the full extent of your damages.
Avoid talking about your injury case: Don’t discuss your injury or case details with anyone other than your lawyer. Statements you make to others, including on social media, could be used against you.

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.

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.
