Filing an Insurance Claim After a Serious Accident

Most personal injury accidents put you in direct contact with someone who, ideally, has insurance coverage. So long as you can prove that the other person bears the blame for your accident, you should be able to request support from their insurance agency.

Unfortunately, reality is rarely so straightforward. There’s a good chance that the insurance claims adjuster assigned to your case may act in bad faith to deny you the support you deserve. You may be ghosted, pressured to accept minimal settlement offers, or even denied support.

A personal injury attorney in Cleveland can minimize the bad faith behavior an insurance claims adjuster tries to use to deny you support. However, we also encourage you to explore your right to a civil claim. A claim allows you to recover support based on your economic and non-economic losses, whereas insurance claims restrict your recovery to economic losses.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim With Cleveland Lawyers

If you want to open a personal injury case against the party responsible for your recent accident, you need to gather enough data to prove that the named party:

Owed you a duty of care at the time of your accident
Violated that duty through avoidable and negligent means
Caused you to suffer unnecessary economic losses

You also need evidence on hand to establish the value of your losses. However, if you’re seriously injured, you may not be able to go out and investigate your case alone.

That’s where our personal injury lawyers come in. We work with investigators to create a robust personal injury claim in your name. The evidence we use to make your case may include the following:

Electronic data
Witness statements
Environmental damage
Physical debris
Reports describing the accident
Photos and video of the accident

We keep our investigation into your losses as transparent as possible so you can stay up-to-date on your case’s proceedings, even while you prioritize your health and well-being.

When to File Your Personal Injury Claim

If you decide that you want to move forward with a personal injury claim, you need to gather all of the information relevant to your recovery within two years of your accident. This deadline, known as Ohio’s personal injury statute of limitations, keeps the cases that come before Ohio’s civil judges as up-to-date as possible.

You cannot file a personal injury claim after your statute of limitations expires. With that in mind, we encourage you to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a serious accident. The faster we learn about your case, the sooner we can investigate your losses.

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.
