A personal injury lawyer is an attorney who devotes their practice to representing injured people and holding defendants accountable when they engage in negligence or wrongdoing. Often, this involves going up against powerful insurance companies whose one and only goal is to pay as little as possible.
Personal injury lawyers draw on extensive schooling and years of litigation experience to represent injured victims. They must know how to gather evidence and investigate accidents in a way that facilitates skilled negotiation of a settlement and/or filing a lawsuit to get you the compensation you deserve after an accident or injury.

Frequently Asked Questions in Cincinnati Personal Injury Claims
You are likely facing a lot of uncertainty if you were injured and/or lost a loved one in an accident. Knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at Colombo Law will strive to understand the specifics of your situation and help you through the challenges you and your family are facing.
Check out our most frequently asked questions below for information about how personal injury cases work and what to expect:
How Do I File a Personal Injury Claim in Ohio?
If you have been injured in Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio, the first thing you should do is consult a personal injury attorney. Your lawyer can determine what legal options you have and advise you of the steps involved in making a claim.
The vast majority of personal injury cases are compensable via the defendant’s insurance coverage. The first step is making a claim with the defendant’s insurance company. Settlement negotiations will typically ensue after the claim is filed. If the claim settles, no additional action is necessary.
If no settlement is reached, your attorney can handle the process of filing a lawsuit on your behalf. This involves filing a document known as a Complaint with the appropriate court. While you can file a Complaint on your own, this is not recommended because the filing and prosecution of a lawsuit requires extensive legal knowledge.
Many types of accidents may give rise to a personal injury claim. At Colombo Law, our attorneys have extensive experience representing accident victims and managing their claims successfully.
Who Will Pay My Compensation for a Personal Injury Claim?
In most cases, the at-fault party’s insurance company will end up paying you the compensation required for the damages you sustained in an accident. Unfortunately, defendants and insurance companies use a number of tricks to try to avoid paying injured people what they are due.
Don’t go through this process alone. Our experienced personal injury lawyers have the knowledge necessary to obtain the compensation your case deserves. We thoroughly investigate the incident that led to your injuries and collect compelling evidence establishing your right to compensation.
How Much Compensation Can I Receive for My Personal Injury Claim?
Every personal injury case is different. Personal injuries can stem from numerous accidents, including:
Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Work-related accidents
Dog bites
Burn accidents
No matter what type of accident caused your injuries, if it was caused by the negligence of another person, you may be entitled to compensation. We can’t guarantee you a certain amount of money. However, we can promise that our personal injury attorneys will do everything in their power to obtain the maximum amount of compensation you deserve.
How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take to Complete?
There is no telling how long your personal injury case will take to resolve. There are a number of factors that can affect the length of your case, including:
Determining fault
Gathering evidence
Speaking with witnesses
Talking to insurance companies
Settlement negotiations
Preparing for and going to trial (if necessary)
All of these aspects take time. It is important not to rush, as each step is imperative for getting you the compensation you deserve. The personal injury lawyers at Colombo Law are dedicated to completing every aspect of your case carefully and correctly. It is with this precision that we can work toward winning your case.
Should I Accept an Insurance Settlement for My Personal Injury Claim Before Consulting with a Lawyer?
We advise that you never speak with an insurance representative until you have first spoken to a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer. While insurance companies may offer you fast money, the offer will almost never be enough to cover your damages.
At Colombo Law, we never settle for the minimum and are extremely focused on achieving the maximum amount of compensation for our clients. We will deal with the insurance companies and work to ensure that you get a fair settlement offer. If the insurance company does not make a reasonable offer, our experienced personal injury lawyers will file a Complaint on your behalf and take the case to trial as needed.
How Long Do I Have to Make a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury claims are governed by a law known as the statute of limitations. In Ohio, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date the injury or loss occurs.
Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10 does provide a few exceptions where the limitation period begins on the date the injury is discovered. (This mainly applies to product liability actions.) It is important not to delay or fall under the mistaken belief that there is plenty of time to assert your legal rights following an accident.
By acting quickly, you can ensure that all relevant evidence is gathered, all at-fault parties are identified, and claims are brought in a timely fashion. A personal injury attorney can help you protect your rights and take on many of the burdens of your case.
