Our Personal Injury Team Can Help You Calculate the Value of Your Case

If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to receive compensation for damages you experienced as a result of your injury. Our legal team at the Fitch Law Firm LLC can listen to your grievances and begin assessing which of the damages you’ve experienced are compensable by law.

We can help you put a value to your damages and use this total figure to help you negotiate fair compensation. Below are some categories of damages we may pursue on your behalf.

Economic Damages

Any damage that led you to lose, spend, or owe money falls under “economic damages.” These damages may include:

Medical treatment expenses
Expenses related to repairing property damage
Replacement value of property damaged beyond repair
Current and future income loss
Future expenses for medical treatment
Reduced earning potential

Other damages not listed here may also be included in your demand letter for compensation, depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, if you had to travel an extended distance to get medical treatment, you may also be able to be compensated for mileage costs.

Non-Economic Damages

Any damage that led to physical or emotional pain but does not have a financial value falls under “non-economic damages.” Our team will assign monetary values to these types of damages using court-approved formulas, then add them to your compensation total.

These damages may include:

Pain and suffering
Permanent disability, such as loss of limb or vision loss
Physical disfigurement, including scarring and burn marks
Psychological trauma
Emotional distress
Diminished quality of life

Wrongful Death Damages

If the person you love passed away due to their accident-related injuries, you may be able to pursue compensation on their behalf, depending on your relation to them. This involves filing a wrongful death claim or lawsuit, which may entitle you to additional damages that you cannot pursue in personal injury cases.

These damages include:

Funeral expenses
Loss of financial support
Loss of consortium
Emotional losses related to the pain the family feels losing a loved one

Beyond gathering information to prepare your case for litigation, our legal team can also step in to represent you at any point in the claims process or litigation stage.

Whenever an interested party reaches out for a statement, your lawyer can answer these calls and messages.

Should the insurance company offer to settle the case out of court, your lawyer can represent you during negotiation meetings to discuss these terms.

Ohio’s Statute of Limitations Sets a Deadline to Your Personal Injury Case

Per Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury case. If you are filing on behalf of a late loved one, this deadline varies slightly. Per Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the person’s death, not their accident.

If you do not manage to file a lawsuit within the legal deadline, you may be barred from pursuing compensation due to tardiness. This means you would have to cover expenses stemming from your damages on your own. Our team can notify you about approaching deadlines to avoid this.

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.
