Injured in a Preventable Accident?




If you or a loved one was injured or died as a result of a preventable accident that was the result of someone’s negligence, you need the advice of an experienced slip and fall attorney.  The law offices of Schiff & Associates have a successful track record of obtaining fair settlements for clients injured in premises liability cases.  Our staff knows how to investigate these types of accidents, prove liability and negotiate or litigate for the maximum compensation for personal injury victims. 

Each year, a countless number of people are injured in supermarkets, retail stores, bars and restaurants, parking lots, apartment buildings, and private homes that result in injuries such as serious back injuries, head trauma, or multiple fractures.  In many cases property owners could have prevented these injuries.  As an experienced slip and fall lawyer, we have the expertise to determine who is responsible and fight for a fair settlement. 

Expenses from slip and fall injuries can include medical care, lost wages, and loss of enjoyment of life.  As one of our attorneys, Keith J. Shepardson says, “Helping the injured party who is in a difficult situation helps to balance the scales.”  Keith has been with our firm for over fifteen years and explains that as an attorney he “can fight for the personal injury victim, the person who doesn’t have the knowledge or the resources to confront the attorneys of an insurance company. I can help them with their recovery.”  Another of our lawyers, Terry Hummel sums it up by saying, “As attorneys, our role in society is to obtain some level of justice for our clients,”

Your first initial consultation is free and we work on a contingency basis so you will not pay any attorney fees or costs unless you received a settlement.  Please contact us today to learn more.   

The experienced attorneys at Schiff & Associates have 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 for information regarding legal services from Columbus, Ohio’s top personal injury lawyer.

While we are honored to be trusted by so many, our real satisfaction comes from seeing a client receive the full compensation they deserve.  Please visit our website to learn more about our range of services, to read our attorneys’ bios, and to see actually case results.  

Although we only publish some of our case results as many have confidentiality rules and agreements, they are a great example of how we go to bat for our clients to ensure fair settlements.  In one case we obtained $1,000,000 for a client who was involved in a semi vs. motorcycle accident.  The client suffered a series of injuries including a pelvic open-book fracture, abdominal injuries, head injury, brain contusion, facial lacerations, and jaw fracture.   Multiple surgeries and long-term care will be required to care for the individual.

Another case result involved a pedestrian accident in a crosswalk. The $400,000 settlement was compensation for injuries including a leg fracture and a foot fracture that necessitated open reduction internal fixation surgery to implant hardware. The client will require long-term care.

According to the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC), there are strict rules and deadlines for filing a claim, which our attorneys understand, and they will help you successfully navigate the system.  We handle every aspect of a BWC claim including interactions with the MCO, TPA and BWC.  Once you obtained the services of a Schiff & Associate attorney, we will represent you whenever necessary at all administrative hearings and court appeals.
Our attorneys have experience handling death claims, catastrophic claims, mandamus actions, and temporary total disability claims.  We also assist clients with other problems including voluntary abandonment, failure of a post-accident drug test and Violation of Specific Safety Regulations (VSSR) and more.
