Columbus Personal Injury Lawyers
When negligence causes serious harm–to you or someone you love–the legal system gives you the right to hold the responsible party accountable. For 30 years, Cooper Elliott’s personal injury attorneys in Columbus have represented seriously injured Ohioans and the families of those who didn’t survive, taking on insurance companies, corporations, and institutions that have every reason to fight back hard.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Serious injuries demand serious attorneys. Our Columbus personal injury lawyers handle the full range of cases, and we approach every one of them as if it’s going to trial.
Dog Bites
Ohio’s strict liability law is unambiguous: if you own or harbor a dog that bites someone, you are responsible for the harm it causes–no prior history of aggression required. We know where to look for coverage, including homeowners and renters insurance, umbrella policies, and business or municipal coverage in cases involving organizations or government entities. And when criminal proceedings are running on a parallel track, we know how to navigate both simultaneously.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail–through dangerous conditions, inadequate security, or negligent maintenance–and someone is seriously hurt as a result, they can be held accountable. We’ve handled cases involving bar-related deaths, security failures, and a wide range of incidents where a property owner’s negligence changed someone’s life forever.
Product Liability
Product liability cases rarely involve a company that had no idea their product was dangerous. More often, they knew–and made a calculated decision that it was cheaper to pay out the occasional claim than to fix the problem. We do the forensic work, fund the expert testing, and spend whatever time is necessary to find out what failed and why. When the evidence shows a company knowingly disregarded a risk of harm, we use it.
Wrongful Death
Most families who call us aren’t thinking about money. They’re thinking about their loved one. They want to know what happened, they want someone held accountable, and they want to make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else. We understand that–and we handle every aspect of the legal process, including Ohio’s required probate court involvement, so your family never has to navigate it alone.
Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries are among the most misunderstood and undervalued injuries in personal injury law. The person may look fine–they may even seem fine. But the people who know them best can see that something has fundamentally changed. We know how to prove it. That means building a pre-injury baseline through witness testimony, employment records, and other evidence, and working with neurologists to identify physical markers of injury that hold up in court.
