Toledo Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents can be scary, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault in Toledo, Ohio, you are entitled to seek compensation to cover your medical care and other damages. Arthur Law Firm, a Toledo personal injury law firm will follow through with an investigation of the accident. We will begin requesting all of your medical records, bills, wage loss documentation, the police report, and photos of injuries and any property damage. Once the evidence has been collected, we will create a demand letter and send it to the insurance adjuster handling your personal injury claim.
Negotiations begin between your attorney and the insurance company via phone, letters, or emails to settle on the amount of compensation you will be awarded for your claim. The goal of the negotiations is to see whether the two sides can agree on the monetary value. This value includes your medical bills and also takes into account the impact your injuries had on you.
Claiming Damages
Personal Injury cases can be complex. There are many expenses that can be factored into an injury victim’s settlement.
Current expenses include the cost to repair or replace your vehicle if you were in a crash, current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You will have estimates from the auto shop, medical bills, and wage loss documentation from your employer.
Predicting Future Value and Damages
It’s not uncommon for accident victims to suffer prolonged symptoms related to their injuries, even after something like a slip and fall. You may even have future medical expenses, including any medical testing and hospital stays, future lost wages, and future pain and suffering. Future damages aren’t as easy to predict, and injury victims will rely on their experienced legal team, medical personnel, and financial professionals to provide proof of their damages.
Pain, Suffering, and Mental Anguish
Pain, suffering, and mental anguish are harder to place a value on for long-term damages. Nobody expects to be in an accident of any kind, and for many injury victims, it can be hard to move on. Loss of life enjoyment or consortium (which is also known as children/spousal damages from interruptions in love and companionship) are also items that may be considered.
Are Settlements Final?
Once you accept and sign a settlement agreement, your case is closed, and the settlement is final. After you sign, you cannot go back and try to claim additional damages from the same accident. It is very important to work with an experienced lawyer who will make sure your settlement is inclusive of all your current and future losses. Insurance companies want to pay the lowest amount possible to resolve your claim. They are always hoping you will settle early, and take a low offer. It’s common for insurance adjusters to try to rush you to settle. You can decline an initial offer, but if you accept it, then it’s final.

-Mike
I was in an accident where the other driver was at fault. Ran into an incredibly frustrating experience with both insurance companies. Called Arthur Law on a recommendation from a friend, Clay Crates took my Friday afternoon call. Mr. Crates was so patient while I explained my situation and very knowledgeable he helped me better understand the process. He spoke candidly with me that even though it would not be in my best interest to hire representation and go to court. I appreciated his honesty, candor and most of all information. He wasn’t like the 45 ambulance chasers that have contacted me I felt that Mr. Crates genuinely cared about what I was going through. Would recommend to friends and family faced with similar situations.
