YouTube Video VVVlOWJlX21qdHhNblBkeWduRVc4b2xRLk1oRmVtb002UnpZ Andy Goldwasser, of Counsel at Karp Steiger, in Cleveland, Ohio helps you to see how much your case is worth. Many variables go into the evaluation of a claim. In most scenarios, your claim is comprised of two primary categories of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include your medical bills, lost wages and future medical costs. Non-economic damages are commonly referred to as “pain and suffering.” These damages include your loss of enjoyment of life, the aggravation associated with the claim and your daily pain/discomfort. Because other cases are the best indicator of a case value, an attorney who specializes in personal injury work will be best suited to provide you with a reasonable claim value. Some of the ways Andy then will analyze whether you have a case by looking at the following: First, was the Defendant or wrongdoer "negligent?" Negligence is nothing more than a failure to use reasonable or ordinary care to avoid injuring another person or another's property. Reasonable or ordinary care is the care that a reasonably careful person would use under the same or similar circumstances. A failure to use reasonable or ordinary care is negligence. Second, was the Defendant's negligence a direct or "proximate cause" of the harm? In Ohio, a party who seeks to recover for injuries or death must prove not only that the other party was negligent, but that such negligence was a direct or "proximate" cause of the harm. Proximate cause is defined as an act or failure to act that in the natural and continuous sequence directly produced the injury or death and without which the injury or death would not have occurred. Third, if an injury plaintiff can prove liability an proximate cause, what are the plaintiff's damages? Damages are defined as the amount of money that will reasonably compensate the plaintiff for the actual injury or loss that was proximately and directly caused by the wrongdoer's misconduct. There are two broad categories of damages in an injury claim: (1)"economic loss" and (2) "noneconomic loss." "Economic loss" includes such things as wages, salaries, medical expenses and the cost for the future medical care. "Noneconomic loss" means harm other than economic loss that results from the plaintiff's injury or loss, including, but not limited to, pain and suffering, loss of society, consortium, companionship, care, assistance, attention, protection, advice, guidance, counsel, instruction, training, or education, disfigurement, mental anguish, and any other intangible loss. In some cases, the injured party also claims that the injury or loss is permanent. Future losses must be proven within a reasonable degree of certainty. In other words, future losses cannot be speculative. There is no "cap" or "limit" on economic damages. However, Ohio Revised Code 2315.18 places a limit of $250,000 on the amount of non-economic damages that may be recovered in a tort action. This limit may be exceeded only when the jury finds permanent and substantial physical deformity, loss of use of a limb, or loss of a bodily organ system; or physical functional injury that permanently prevents the plaintiff from being able to independently care for himself/herself and perform life-sustaining activities. Since every case is different, the analysis of negligence, proximate cause and damages is done on a case-by-case basis. We are happy to evaluate your case for free. Give us a call.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Andy Goldwasser, of Counsel at Karp Steiger, in Cleveland, Ohio helps you to see who you should speak with in the event of an accident. When you are involved in an automobile accident, you should always contact your automobile insurance company. Indeed, you have an obligation to notify your insurance carrier of an accident, because if you don’t, you may not be entitled to certain benefits. If the accident was not your fault, you should consider contacting an attorney. Otherwise, the claims adjuster will usually contact you and want a recorded statement. Anything you say to the claims adjuster can be used against you at a later time. Andy then will analyze whether you have a case by looking at the following: First, was the Defendant or wrongdoer "negligent?" Negligence is nothing more than a failure to use reasonable or ordinary care to avoid injuring another person or another's property. Reasonable or ordinary care is the care that a reasonably careful person would use under the same or similar circumstances. A failure to use reasonable or ordinary care is negligence.

How To Prove Who Was At Fault in Your Car/Motorcycle Accident.

Andy Goldwasser, of Counsel at Karp Steiger, in Cleveland, Ohio shows you your options if you are bit by a dog. How do our personal injury attorneys at Karp Steiger law firm evaluate a personal injury/dog bite claim? Being attacked by an animal can be a horrifying and debilitating experience. Often, animal attacks occur suddenly, and the victim becomes stunned and has no time to prevent or minimize the attack. If you or a loved one were attacked and injured by an animal in Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation. It is incredibly important to speak with an experienced Ohio dog bite attorney about handling an animal attack claim. Animal owners in Ohio are strictly liable for their pets’ actions. This means that if you were bitten, you do not have to prove that the owner was negligent. At Karp Steiger, our team of dedicated dog bite injury attorneys will thoroughly investigate the facts surrounding the attack to determine if additional parties may be at fault, such as a kennel, animal sitter, property owner, or landlord. We will leave no stone unturned in determining what party is at fault and will vigorously advocate for our clients to ensure a just result and adequate compensation. Our attorneys truly and fully understand the serious impact these injuries can have on all individuals. Many times, animal attacks and bites require reconstructive surgery, scar care and prevention, other types of plastic surgeries, and potential treatment for rabies or other diseases. Pursuing treatment and medical care following an animal attack can be expensive, time consuming, and embarrassing for the victim of the attack. Since every case is different, the analysis of negligence, proximate cause and damages is done on a case-by-case basis. We are happy to evaluate your case for free. Give us a call.
