  • Get Payment for Your Loss and Pain

Our firm serves clients who suffer severe injuries. If you’re hurt in a minor automobile accident, please contact us, and we will gladly direct you to a number of firms to discuss your case.

We focus on severe cases that require specialized attention and handling. All personal injury cases the firm accepts are directly handled and overseen by an attorney (not a paralegal or “case manager”). When you contact Darr Law for your injury claim, you will not speak with an intake person and “an attorney will call you.” Your firm contact will be a Darr Law attorney from beginning until the end.

You won’t see the “Darr Law” name on a billboard, phonebook, or television ad. That’s not how our clients find us. Our clients come strictly from referrals from other lawyers, medical experts, and past clients. Our results and reputation take care of the rest.

Our firm is experienced with cases ranging from slip and fall cases with severe harmq, products liability, and foodborne illness, to wrongful death. We have pursued millions of dollars of claims on behalf of our clients. During your initial consultation, we are happy to provide references from past clients.

If you’d like to discuss your claim with an attorney please contact us.

How Long Do I Have to File An Injury Claim?

The statute of limitations is the rule applied by the courts that sets the maximum amount of time that parties have to take legal action. A key reason we have statutes of limitations is to protect defendants. Statutes of limitations encourage the individuals who file lawsuits to pursue their claims with reasonable diligence. They also ensure that relevant evidence will not be lost or destroyed and that the witnesses who testify will have a more recent memory of what occurred.

In Ohio, you only have a set period of time to bring a lawsuit following an accident that resulted in an injury. In Ohio, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. If you try to take the at-fault party to court after two years, you will likely be barred from pursuing legal action and holding the at-fault party liable.

While two years might seem like a lot of time to take action following an accident, it’s important to understand that it can take many months to build a strong case before filing. This is why it’s critical that you reach out to the experienced personal injury lawyers at Darr Law.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

The types of compensation you could be owed in your personal injury claim depend on the facts and circumstances of your case, such as the seriousness of your injuries and whether you were partially at fault. Common types of compensation sought in personal injury lawsuits include:

  • Medical expenses (past and future). You are entitled to be reimbursed for your doctors’ bills, hospital bills, emergency room bills, medications, therapy, rehabilitation, and any other treatments you need due to your injuries.

  • Lost wages. Lost wages include both past and future wages that you lose from missing work while you recover from your injuries. In addition to your missed paychecks, you may also be compensated for bonuses, benefits, and commissions you lost.

  • Pain and suffering. Pain and suffering is typically more difficult to calculate because it is not based on out-of-pocket expenses and an exact dollar amount. A qualified personal injury attorney will be able to figure out the value of your pain and suffering.

  • Emotional distress. If the accident impacted your mental health, a claim for emotional distress could be made. This type of compensation is usually determined through a diagnosis from a mental health professional.

  • Loss of companionship/Loss of consortium. Your spouse might be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship.

  • Wrongful death. When someone dies from an accident in Ohio, their dependents can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Compensation can include funeral expenses, medical expenses, lost wages, loss of companionship, and more.

  • Punitive damages. The purpose of punitive damages is to punish the defendant for especially egregious wrongful behavior. These are rare in personal injury claims.
