Injured in a Slip and Fall Due to Someone Else’s Negligence?






If you or a loved one suffered from an injury that was the result of a hazard you encountered while at a restaurant, shopping mall, parking lot, apartment building or a private home, you may need the services of an attorney who specializes in slip and fall accidents.  Under the Ohio statute of limitations for slip and fall claims, a person has two years in which to file a claim.  While most slip and fall cases in Ohio reach a settlement without ever going to trial, the attorneys at Schiff & Associates have the expertise to litigate your case in the courtroom if needed.  

As one of the leading personal injury attorneys in Columbus Ohio, our team knows how to investigate accidents, prove liability and to get our clients a fair settlement.  If you experienced a slip and fall accident that was the result of negligence on the part of a property owner such as unsafe walking conditions, inadequate lighting, loose railings, spills and other problems, you need to talk to us. 
  
If it is determined that your slip and fall accident could have been prevented, you may be entitled to recover all of your related costs including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering as well as any other damages.  Furthermore, regardless of whether we negotiate a settlement or go to trial, we always fight for maximum compensation.  
    
It is important that you meet with one of our attorneys who specialize in these types of claims as many slip and fall accidents result in serious head trauma, back injuries, or multiple fractures.  Your initial consultation is free, and as we work on a contingency basis, you will only pay legal costs and attorney fees if you receive a settlement.  Don’t wait; visit our website for further information.  

The experienced team of Schiff & Associates has offered the area trusted legal representation in cases of personal injury and wrongful death since 1982.  We have a history of getting clients the results they deserve and recognize that financial recovery from an accident is just as important as physical recovery.  Call today to learn how Columbus, Ohio’s leading slip and fall attorney can help.

Be Prepared In the Case of a Vehicle Accident






While we hope you will never need the information, it is important for every driver to know what to do if they are involved in a motor vehicle accident.  From a legal standpoint, Schiff & Associates know that what you do after an accident, especially if you are injured, can impact the amount you recover from your injuries and damages.  

Our experienced team of vehicle accident attorneys along with the Consumer Protection Association of America shares useful tips for what to do if your accident results in injuries.  Obviously in the case of serious injuries, you will call 911.  For non-critical injuries, our attorneys recommend that you see a doctor as soon as possible even if you do not think you need to as symptoms can sometimes take a few days to appear.  
    
Also if you are able, you need to move your car off to the side of the road as quickly as possible, and set out flares or cones if you have them or turn on your car’s hazard lights.  Schiff & Associates’ attorneys also advise motorists to not admit to fault to other drivers, and before you speak to an insurance adjuster or sign anything from an insurance company, consult with an auto accident attorney.   

Also remember to exchange and write down all pertinent information regarding the other drivers.  Be sure to include make, model, year, and color of each car, and if you can, take pictures of the damage and the accident scene.  Furthermore, even if the police do not show up at the accident site, you can still file a police report by going down to a station or doing it online.  Lastly we strongly recommend that you contact an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney such as Schiff & Attorneys for the legal assistance you need. 

See our website for all of the information regarding what to do after an accident and learn more about the benefits of having an experienced attorney on your side.  We have successfully helped hundreds of clients to get a fair settlement after they were injured in a motor vehicle accident.  Remember your initial evaluation and consultation is free, and we work on a contingency basis so you will not pay any legal costs or attorney fees unless we recover compensation.  

Since 1982, Schiff & Associates’ experienced attorneys have provided trusted legal representation in cases of personal injury and wrongful death. We have a history of getting clients the results they deserve and recognize that financial recovery from an accident is just as important as physical recovery.  Contact us for more information on expert legal services from Columbus, Ohio’s top personal injury lawyer.
