Couldn't be happier of getting the chance to know this man. I have been extremly comfortable from the minute I selected him to handle my personal injury case. You not only get him, but a wonderful team at Nurenberg-Paris that knows what it takes to handle your case. Andy has an extreme passion for helping people and has a desire of making our roads a safier place to travel. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case, knowing that my future and family is protected beyond my expectations. He became a friend and could be your friend as well.

Initially, Mr. Novak thoroughly reviewed the medical malpractice case details regarding my father. He was recommended due to his years of experience.

Mr. Novak's ability to effectively collaborate and demonstrate compassionate interpersonal skills developed trusting relationships with all parties involved in the case. His ability to demonstrate excellent analytical skills, research the necessary information, understand the information and record the information in a written format that all parties could understand resulted in reasonable solutions. At all times, Mr. Novak composed himself professionally, logically and demonstrated creativity with reasonable judgments when problems and unique circumstances occurred.

I had the privilege of working with Kevin for two years, and his dedication was truly outstanding. He fought tirelessly for me & his tenacity secured a settlement that exceeded expectations. His dedication and legal prowess are beyond compare.
Kevin's communication was exceptional, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. His strategic approach and transparent communication provided immense peace of mind during this challenging time.
What sets Kevin apart is his genuine care. He went above & beyond securing a settlement, advocating for a Special Needs Trust---AND at no extra cost. His generosity and professionalism are simply beyond remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Kevin Hardman. His expertise, kindness, generosity, and dedication are unparalleled & make him such an extraordinarily exemplary attorney.

Mr. Switala met with my wife over a slip/fall accident that occured due to the negligence of a building owner. My wife fell which caused my wife to hit her head on the side of his building and she suffered a concussion and had to have staples in her head to close a wound. We contacted Mr. Switala for guidance wanting to recoup our medical expenses because the owner of the building happened to be a local attorney in our town and we wanted to make sure we had someone who could guide us through this unfortunate event. We met with Mr. Switala and he guided us through every step of the process. He answered all of our question and never once made us feel rushed. He is kind, caring and compassionate and had my wifes best interest at hand the whole time. Because of his expertise we were able to resolve the matter without going to court and not only did the pay the medical bills, my wife received a very nice unexpected settlement from the property owner/insurance company. If you are involved in an accident or personal injury I would highly recommend contacting Gil! Thanks again! Brad and Ange C. Springfield, Ohio

I cannot find the words to praise Mr. Kral and his team. They are the best of the best. Trustworthy is not even enough for them. Before I retained Mr. Kral I went though four other attorneys that their main goal was to take my money and move on. They have done nothing Mr. Kral was my last hope for my family and I and I cannot thank my lucky stars for Mr. Kral he is really a very knowledgeable attorney and very very helpful and hardworking . He was the only one that took his time and helped me deal with a very difficult case. Mr. Kral and his team is our family's hero and angels. Thank you so so very much.

Mr. Farren was extremely helpful with my automobile accident suit. During that time it was very hard for me to get around and he was always available when needed, helping coordinate doctor visits and delivering paperwork. He actually called to schedule my MRI and hand delivered the results to me! Very professional. I would recommend his services to anyone.

I met Rob Kokor years ago in a time where I needed some serious legal council. He went above in beyond for me on every level he possibly could, while still leaving a little room for me to see the brighter side with his sense of humor. He got me an amazing turn out and over the years has always come to my defense and has been there for advice and guidance. I trust his knowledge and expertise and will always recommend his services to anyone in legal need. He is as down to earth as they come and one of the smartest men i know.

I found Richard through the BAR association about 10 years ago for my horrible car accident case. From the first meeting with him, he was great, he reviewed my case with everything in him and explained everything in detail of how the process would go. I think the thing that made me most happy was that the guy that hit me was driving a rental car and the rental car company totally tried to screw me over with the statute of limitations, a weekend, and a holiday; Richard knew the laws immediately and addressed them and told me what would happen. And wouldn't you know, the rental car company rep bold faced lied to me over the phone and if I didn't have Richard hired by then I would've been screwed in the case because of the weekend and holiday and he knew exactly how to handle it and what they would do to try to screw me over. During the negotiations he fought for me left and right and was beyond my expectations in everyway possible with how he talked with me. When it was all said and done, he drove to where I worked during his busy schedule to have me sign some paperwork and give me my check. To this day anyone that has been in an accident I immediately give them his information because I was so pleased with the whole crappy experience that he made so easy and effortless. He knows his stuff and I hope I don't get in another accident, but if I do, I'll always know who I'll go back to.

My son was recently in a motor vehicle accident where he was hit from behind by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. A co-worker handed me Richard's business card and from that first conversation to the last detail of settlement Richard exceeded our expectations. He actually cares about his client and their well being, we weren't just a pay check for him. Richard always showed the utmost respect and courtesy, as well as extreme knowledge of the requirements to resolve the case. He was very attentive to every status inquiry we made, regardless of how minute a detail it may have been. His assurance of our understanding the situation was if high importance. We definitely feel Richard is the best and would highly reccommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

He hails from a family of trustees and attorneys who are traditional and conservative in their approaches to family law and all of whom have impeccable integrity. He is the quiet voice behind big decisions. He treats your concerns and issues as if they were his own. He networks with the best financial people, who are highly rated and trustworthy. His demeanor is direct, honest and compassionate. His sense of humor and excellent judge of character give him a perspective that gives him an edge when it comes to negotiations.

Stephen was personal referral from a friend. His communication, promptness and the experience he came with made me feel like my case was in the right hands. Honesty with no sugar coating was my favorite thing about him. As the client, of all the decisions I had to make along the way I never felt persuaded to lean one way or the other, Stephen really showed me he worked for me and backed all of my decisions and really fought for me when I couldn’t. He’s a great attorney with an excellent team (Diane).

I consulted with Bob about a car accident my wife was involved in. We weren't sure we were being treated fairly by the other driver's insurance company. In the end, we didn't have a case to make but Bob could not have been more helpful, informative, and pleasant. While I hope we don't need his services in the future, I would absolutely call him again if the need arose.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
