Why Should I Contact a Cleveland Personal Injury Lawyer?
If someone else’s actions or mistakes caused your injuries and resulting medical expenses, you have a right to take legal action. A personal injury case can be difficult, though. Make sure you rely on an expert Cleveland personal injury lawyer before taking any steps to get compensation.
You can benefit from a lawyer in the following situations:
- You suffered injuries in an accident but don’t know if it constitutes negligence or a personal injury case.
- You aren’t sure what type of action to take after an accident or if you can do anything at all.
- An insurance adjuster has contacted you about an accident.
- Someone has offered you a settlement or compensation after an accident.
- After an accident, you’re facing big medical expenses or can no longer work.
Keep in mind that most personal injury firms offer free initial consultations. If you’re unsure whether you have a valid case, getting advice and answers to your questions doesn’t have to cost anything.
Cleveland Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements
Cleveland personal injury lawyers help their clients win jury verdicts or get compensation through settlement negotiations. Although every case is different, examples of what lawyers have done for their clients in the area can give you an idea of what to expect:
- In 2017, Megan Keefe fell from the second floor of a Cleveland Warehouse District bar during a St. Patrick’s Day event. She hit her head on a counter, resulting in severe and permanent injuries. Her legal team got her a $22 million settlement because the bar’s owners failed to maintain a railing. The broken railing caused the fall.[1]
- A jury in Cuyahoga County awarded a man $27 million after suffering injuries in a Greyhound bus crash. The driver fell asleep, causing a crash with a tractor-trailer. Mark Soberay’s injuries included an amputated left leg, heart damage, and crushed bones.[2]
- In the wrongful death case of Tamir Rice, the city of Cleveland agreed to pay his family a $6 million settlement. A Cleveland police officer shot and killed Rice, aged 12, in 2014.[3]
These are just a few of the cases from Cleveland that illustrate what a good legal team can do for victims and their families. Cleveland personal injury lawyers are essential for helping those who suffer serious injuries due to negligence.
