We know that careless, reckless, and negligent or criminally negligent drivers can cause car accidents that lead to serious injuries and even wrongful deaths.  If your accident is someone else’s fault, they may be legally responsible for a broad range of expenses associated with your injury.  Costs may include medical expenses as well as compensation for property damage, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, lost wages, and punitive damages.

Furthermore, did you know driver fatigue is one of the biggest factors in trucking accidents? While federal regulations exist to protect the public from truckers on the road for too many hours, you need an experienced attorney to help prove driver fatigue caused the accident.  The same goes if you are involved in accident with a drunk driver.  At Schiff & Associates our attorneys are experienced in truckers’ driving regulations and Ohio’s DUI and liquor licensing laws.

Even low speed car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents can result in injuries such as whiplash, concussions, bone fractures, lacerations, back injuries and more.  Often these types of injuries may initially appear to be minor, but can cause problems and complications weeks or months after the accident.

Experienced Representation for Professional Athletes and Entertainers

Another area of law that Schiff & Associates provides is legal representation to elite professional and collegiate athletes and entertainers.  Scott Schiff has 30 years of experience protecting the interest of numerous clients including names such as:  Will Smith; Jared Sullinger; Steve Bellisari; Jeff Graham; Tyrell Biggs; Maurice Clarett; The Allman Brothers Band; Bone Thugs & Harmony, and many more. 

With Mr. Schiff’s extensive legal expertise, he has successfully negotiated multi-million dollar contract deals and assisted clients with preserving capital and other functions often handled by agents, managers, promoters, and general representatives.  As Scott Schiff states, “As a duly licensed attorney and respected member of the Bar, I am held to a higher standard of ethics, honesty and professionalism than your typical non-lawyer agent, manager, promoter or the like.”

One client, Tyrell Biggs, began his professional boxing career after winning an Olympic gold medal in the Super Heavy Weight division.  He came to Scott Schiff to help resurrect his career after losing several big fights.  Through Scott’s expert negotiating skills, Tyrell received a several million dollar payout to defeat another heavy weight boxer.  Scott then went on to negotiate seven additional bouts and paychecks for Biggs.  

  

Another hallmark case for Scott Schiff was when he was the first lawyer in the history of the WBO to successfully challenge a decision in a fight and to restore a title.  The client, Manning Galloway, was a WBO Welter Weight Champion who lost a decision in Denmark to Gert Jacoben.  When Manning returned to the States, he hired Schiff to file the appeal with the WBO Boxing Commission who later restored his Championship status. Schiff also arranged four more Championship defense fights that gave Manning hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional purse revenue.
