Contact a Pickerington Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
You can use a few different tools to financially recover from a catastrophic injury. Filing an insurance claim can help reduce your costs, as can suing the party or parties directly responsible for your injuries. Both of these processes get easier, though, when you have an experienced attorney working with you.
You have the right to call on a Pickerington, OH, catastrophic injury lawyer immediately after a serious accident. If you’re not in a state to do so, you can ask a family member to contact an attorney on your behalf. Either process will allow an attorney to begin investigating the negligence that led to your accident.
At the same time, an attorney can begin interfacing with insurance adjusters who might try to pressure you into accepting insufficient settlements or waiving your right to legal action. That support can buy you the time you need to recover while allowing you to discuss the ways you can discuss fair compensation with an experienced legal professional.
Don’t Accept an Underwhelming Settlement Offer
You are working against Ohio’s personal injury statute of limitations, Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10(A), in the wake of a catastrophic injury, meaning that you only have three years to take legal action against the parties liable for your losses. However, that time limit should not drive you to accept an unfair settlement simply to avoid your filing deadline.
If the person liable for your catastrophic injury or an insurance representative reaches out to you, let an attorney know. We can step in and interface with these parties on your behalf, assessing their settlement offers against our own calculations. This way, we can prevent you from accidentally forgoing your right to comprehensive accident support.
What’s more, we can prevent insurers and other parties from misusing any statements you make in the wake of your injuries.

We Can Find Evidence of Negligence for Your Catastrophic Injury Case
When it comes time to ask for catastrophic injury compensation, you need evidence to prove your right to a case. Working with our Pickerington catastrophic injury lawyers makes it easier to gather this evidence, as we can call on expert investigators to interview witnesses, organize your medical reports, and break down what instances of negligence led to your injuries.
All of this evidence comes together to outline the duty of care a liable party violated when putting you in harm’s way. Proving that a liable party violated that duty, put you in unreasonable danger, and caused you to suffer economic losses allows you to either demand compensation through an insurer or take a personal injury claim to civil court.
We can also call on expert witnesses to verify the severity of your injuries, proving your right to classify your injuries as catastrophic.
Identifying Catastrophic Injuries
Some of the most common catastrophic injuries may include the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- First, second, and third-degree burns
- Loss of vision
- Temporary or permanent spinal cord injuries
- Injuries requiring amputations
A medical professional can provide you with the documentation necessary to classify your losses as catastrophic. If these documents aren’t immediately available, our team can fight to have the severity of your losses recognized, making it easier to fight for the compensation you need.

We Listen to Your Concerns About Your Case
We understand that catastrophic injuries can make you feel out of control of your life. Our catastrophic injury lawyers in Pickerington, OH, want to give you that control back. That’s why we work with you to determine how you want to recover from your losses.
If you want to file an insurance claim with a relevant provider, we can speak with insurance representatives on your behalf and prevent your request for compensation from getting stuck in limbo. We can also prevent an insurer from holding you responsible for your injuries or denying you coverage based on a client’s misrepresented policy.
If you want to file a catastrophic injury claim, we do not have to take your case straight to trial. We can instead summon a liable party to negotiate for the compensation you deserve. If negotiations go well, you may have the compensation you need to pay your bills sooner rather than later.
However, if a liable party won’t meet with you for negotiations or refuses to acknowledge your right to fair compensation, we can take your case to trial. This process can prove lengthy, but it allows a judge to weigh in on your right to financial support. You can count on our team to represent you throughout this process.
