One example of our hard-working team includes Philip A. Ziegler.  He first started working at Schiff & Associates after getting his BA at Ohio State University.  While working at the firm, he was inspired to go on to law school at Capital University, and was admitted to the bar in 2010.  His expertise includes the field of Personal Injury (Plaintiff), and he states that seeing clients “satisfied and receiving the compensation they need gives me a sense of fulfillment.” Phillip also enjoys helping the community by volunteering as a mentor at Franklin County Children’s Services.

Attorney Phillip Corey Lauer started as a Case Manager for the firm in 2005, which led him to the night program at Capital University Law School.  He was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 2010.  He explains that, “When people come to us, there’s been a problem in their lives. Any time you can make a person’s situation better and help them get through the process to a point where they obtain compensation for what happened, it is a rewarding feeling.”  He is proud to be a part of a firm that routinely takes on the toughest cases and fights for the injured. 

One of our newest attorneys at Schiff & Associates is Megan R. Hayden, who graduated from Capital University Law School magna cum laude and joined our firm in 2014.  During law school, Megan worked as an intern for the Honorable James O’Grady at the Franklin County Municipal Court and later as a law clerk at the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.  As a student, she was a member of The Capital University Law Review and received two CALI Awards (given to the student scoring the highest grade in a course) in Secured Transactions and Professional Responsibility.

Protect Your Interest with a Personal Injury Lawyer at Your Side

It is generally not a good idea to deal with an insurance company without a personal injury attorney at your side.  All too often companies pressure unrepresented claimants into taking small settlement amounts in exchange for a full release of liability.  They recognize that unless you have the resources and knowledge to effectively take them on alone, it is a tough thing to do.  However one of the problems of a quick settlement is that if your injuries take a turn for the worse in the future, you are out of luck in terms of going back to them for monetary compensation.   

During Schiff & Associates’ long history of fighting to get our clients fair compensation for their injuries; we know that all too often the long-term effects of those injuries are not fully understood.  Many of our clients require ongoing medical treatment and these types of costs may not be reflected in a quick settlement between you and an insurance company.

A fair settlement needs to include costs such as medical bills already incurred as well as any future medical costs.  It also needs to include compensation for things such as property damage, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, lost wages, and in some cases, even punitive damages.

As experienced attorneys, we always recommend that our clients do not settle any claim until they have had a thorough evaluation by the proper medical doctors.  Furthermore, our team of experts is not intimidated or deterred by big insurance companies and we will work hard to get you the full compensation you deserve whether it is by negotiating a settlement or taking your case to trial.   Your initial consultation with us if free and you will not pay any attorney costs or fees unless we successfully recover compensation.

Spinal Cord Injury – Get Legal Advice from the Experts

A spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia and impact a person’s life permanently.  Unfortunately it happens way too often.  The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reports that 12,000 people in the U.S. sustain a SCI each year, which translates to 30 new injuries a day.  Furthermore, most of the injuries occur to individuals between the ages of 16 and 30, with over 80% of the victims being male. The majority of cases are a result of car accidents, sports-related injuries, falls and industrial accidents.

The attorneys at Schiff & Associates understand the overwhelming impact such an injury has on the person and his/her family.  If you or a loved one has suffered a SCI due to the result of someone else’s negligence, you need to seek the advice of an experienced spinal cord injury attorney for help in recovering monetary compensation for medical expenses.  The costs of such an injury include pain and suffering, lost wages, and extensive mental, physical, and vocational therapy as well as ongoing daily living assistance.

SCI cases can be complicated and require experienced attorneys that know how to demonstrate negligence on the part of responsible parties to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.  This is why we offer a free initial case evaluation and advice.  In addition if you choose to use our services, you will not pay any attorney costs or fees unless we are successful in recovering compensation for your spinal cord injury.

An experienced attorney with a successfully record of negotiating and litigating these types of cases can make the difference between whether you get a fair settlement or walk away empty handed.  Contact the trusted team at Schiff & Associates.
