Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pharmaceutical injury lawyer in Ohio cost?

Nothing up front. The Albenze Firm handles pharmaceutical injury cases on a contingency fee — typically a percentage of the recovery — so you pay no attorney fee unless we win compensation for you. The consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a pharmaceutical injury claim in Ohio?

Deadlines vary: Ohio dangerous-drug product claims are generally subject to a two-year limit (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10), while errors by a pharmacy or provider may qualify as medical claims with a one-year limit (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.113). Some deadlines shrink further once notice rules apply, and evidence disappears fast — the safest move is to have your specific deadline confirmed by an attorney now.

What is my case worth?

Case value is built from your economic damages — medical bills, lost income, and future care, which Ohio law never caps — plus non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Caps on non-economic damages depend on the claim type, and do not apply to permanent catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. We build your case to capture full value, not the insurance company's opening number.

Do I really need a lawyer for a pharmaceutical injury claim?

Ohio's comparative fault rule (Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.33) reduces your recovery by any percentage of blame an insurer can pin on you — and bars it entirely at 51%. Adjusters are trained to build exactly that argument from your first phone call. Represented claimants consistently recover more, even after fees; we take that fight on so you can focus on recovering.
