Ohio Injury Lawyers Who Get You Paid.

Nothing up front. The Albenze Firm handles personal injury cases across Ohio on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. The consultation with an Ohio personal injury lawyer is free and confidential.

In Ohio, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10). Evidence disappears much faster than the Ohio deadline, so have an Ohio personal injury attorney confirm yours now.

An Ohio personal injury case is built from economic damages (medical bills, lost wages and future care, which Ohio never caps) plus non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Non-economic damages are generally capped at the greater of $250,000 or three times economic damages (up to $350,000 per person), with no cap for permanent, catastrophic injuries (Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.18).

An Ohio personal injury lawsuit is generally filed in the Court of Common Pleas of the county where the injury happened, which sits in the county seat. The Albenze Firm represents clients in courts across Ohio, state and federal.

Yes. Our office is at 124 Middle Ave, Suite 900, in Elyria, and The Albenze Firm represents injured people across Ohio in state and federal courts. Call (440) 328-8973, 24/7, to talk about your Ohio case.

Your Ohio case is handled by The Albenze Firm, led by attorney Steve Albenze: an Ohio trial attorney admitted in 2012 (Supreme Court of Ohio registration #0089558) who began at the Lorain County Prosecutor's Office and has handled civil litigation and personal injury cases since 2014.

Get medical care right away and keep every appointment; photograph the scene and your injuries; get the police or incident report number and the names of witnesses; keep every bill and record; and do not give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer before you talk to an Ohio personal injury lawyer.

Yes, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Ohio's modified comparative negligence law (Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.33) reduces an Ohio injury award by your share of the fault and bars recovery only above 50%, which is why insurers work so hard to shift blame.

Bring what you have: the police or incident report number, photos, medical records and bills, your insurance card and any letters from an insurer. If you have none of it yet, call anyway; an Ohio personal injury attorney can request the records.

Ohio's comparative fault rule reduces your recovery by any percentage of blame an insurer can pin on you, and adjusters build that argument from the first phone call. An Ohio injury lawyer takes that fight on while you recover, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation.
