We Can Help You Recover Damages in Your Injury Case

Individuals pursuing action to recover from a personal injury want to receive the maximum compensation they can, and we want to help them. It is important to keep in mind that no two injury cases have the same value. How much your claim or lawsuit is worth is determined by various factors, including:

The severity of your injuries
The extent of your physical and mental pain and suffering
The cost of other damages, including property
The policy limits of the at-fault party’s insurance company
If you share liability for your injuries

Economic Damages

Depending on your situation, you may be able to be compensated for damages that cost you money, such as:

Medical expenses
Lost wages and benefits
Reduced earning ability
Property damage

All of these can be proven with written records, including receipts, invoices, pay stubs, time cards, and other documents.

Non-Economic Damages

You also may be able to recover non-economic damages, which do not come with a dollar figure that you can document. These include:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Disability or disfigurement
Loss of life enjoyment

We will assess both types of damages to determine your compensation. We will also help you uncover additional damages you may not know you can pursue. Once we add these together, we will have the value of your case. We will draft a demand letter and file a claim with the liable party’s insurer to recover compensation.

Wrongful Death Damages

If you can pursue a wrongful death action on behalf of a loved one whose injury resulted in their death, you could recover compensation for:

Their unresolved medical expenses
Funeral, burial, or cremation costs
Loss of your loved one’s guidance and companionship
The mental anguish of surviving family members

Ohio Revised Code (ORC) §2125.02 outlines the benefits that are recoverable in a wrongful death case. If state law deems you eligible to seek a wrongful death lawsuit, we can help you prepare your case.

Ohio’s Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Cases

Per ORC §2305.10, if you are filing a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio, you generally have two years to do so. If you are filing a wrongful death action, the timeline is the same—two years per ORC §2125.02.

You must not miss this deadline. If it expires without the court hearing from you, you can lose your right to seek damages. If any exceptions apply to the case, we can review your situation and confirm if you have a longer or shorter time to file.

Our team can ensure your case remains on track. The Fitch Law Firm LLC knows how to meet any deadlines you are facing, ensuring the insurance company does not stall and cost you a chance at a fair settlement.

Why Proving Negligence Is Important in Your Injury Case

Proving that the liable party is responsible for your injuries and other losses is critical to making your case for compensation. As we build the case, we must show that the party:

Owed you a duty of care to act responsibly so that you would remain unharmed
Failed to keep this duty of care to you due to carelessness or recklessness
Caused you to suffer an injury by failing to act carefully
Brought damages upon you as a result that must be compensated for

If your case proves these four points, you can move forward with an injury case.

Multiple Parties and Liability

Some personal injury cases involve more than one liable party. For example, if you get into a vehicle accident, the driver who hit you may be accountable, but so could the municipality where the accident happened because it was responsible for the upkeep of the roads.

The person who hit you may have been on the clock and working for an employer. If so, the employer could be brought into the suit because it could be held responsible for its employee’s driving behavior.

As you can see, personal injury cases can get complicated quite quickly. Our attorney will identify all liable parties and hold each of them accountable.

What if You Are Partially Liable for Your Personal Injury?

If you’re partially responsible for your injury, you can still seek damages as long as you are not more than 50% liable for it, per ORC §2315.33. Your percentage of fault would reduce your compensation, and you would get what’s left. Even if you are partly responsible for your accident, we can review your situation and advise you if seeking damages is in your best interest.

We handle the following personal injury cases in Cincinnati:

Commercial truck accidents
Car accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Medical malpractice
Wrongful death

When we looked into seeking representation after my son's car accident we did not know anybody who had experience with as an attorney with car wrecks. So we looked online at all the firms that specialize in auto accidents, then by using as our criteria the reviews we selected The Fitch Law firm. Right from the start they were extremely helpful . They explained how the process would go based on our specifics of the accident and then basically did all the work to file a claim and get all that we were entitled to. Working with Becky and Kirstin was perfect, they kept us informed every step of the way and if we had questions they had time to explain them making sure we understood each time. Our case was not a high dollar amount but they still offered above average service and looked out for us like it was. I highly recommend The Fitch Law firm without hesitation.

Our experience with the Fitch Law Firm was incredible. We worked with Kirstin, and she's really gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After our car accident, we were so overwhelmed by the insurance companies, and Kirstin made everything so easy for us. We never would have gotten such a good settlement without her. They seem to really care about their clients, and they are very responsive. They worked hard to answer our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.

I was involved in an accident as the passenger of the responsible party during Feb. of 2020. I completed physical therapy in June of the same year. I worked with a firm that was not as responsive as I would have liked, so I sought representation elsewhere to ensure the claim was handled correctly. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to task The Fitch Law Firm with this case. Associate attorney Kirstin Peterson was assigned to my case, and I couldn’t have asked for someone so thorough, professional, responsive and down right genuinely caring than her. There were some unforeseen obstacles, but throughout my doubts she maintained consistent in reassuring me she was doing everything she could to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend this firm and having nothing but more than positive things to say about the associate attorney assigned to my case. Thank you so much Fitch Law Firm, and Kirstin Peterson. You guys are extraordinary in what you do!

I was in a car accident on 10/21/2018 that was not my fault. I googled different accident laywers. And came across the fitch law firm. From the first time i walked thru the doors mr fitch and becky made me feel at ease. Mr fitch thought my case woukd be good to take on. The other parties insurance was extremely difficult to deal with.and i can say mr fitch represented me well. And Becky checked in on me and kept me updated on the case. Its been 2 years and my case finally settled i was ok with the amount given. And i will use the fitch law firm again if ever needed.
