 Questions and Answers About Personal Injury, Automobile Accident and Product
Liability Cases
Q. What are the major reasons that claims are denied in Southwest Ohio?
In the Dayton area, the biggest reason is lack of familiarity
with the law, which is usually a result of inadequate, incompetent
representation or self-representation.
Q. Why do I need an attorney?
The main reason you might need an attorney
is to get the maximum amount of benefits. Insurance companies are
masters at reducing the amount of benefits they pay. They have people
who do nothing but look for ways to reduce the amount of benefits they
pay.
Why? Well, the less benefits they pay out,
the more profit the insurance companies make. Another reason has to do
with the size of the insurance companies. They are so big that they
will probably only see you as a number on a claim form.
At E.S. Gallon, you will not be seen as a
number. You will get service from someone who sees you as a person,
with individual needs.
At E.S. Gallon, you will have a lawyer who cares about you and will work with you.
Q. How do I select the best attorney for my needs?
Look at the firm's reputation among the
judges and other attorneys in your area. See if they are respected by
the people they work with every day. Find out what their experience is
in your area of need.
Also look to see if they are active in
leadership positions in professional organizations like the bar
association for their city and state and in organizations like the Ohio
Academy of Trial Lawyers and the Association of Trial Lawyers of
America.
Finally, use your common sense. Don't be
lured in by wild claims that you might hear of "quick cash in minimum
time." If it seems that someone is promising something too good to be
true, it probably is.
We consider ourselves to be serious lawyers,
serious about the law and using it to protect our clients. It takes
experience, expertise, and, frankly, a lot of hard work. That's why we
like to say, "Good lawyering is no accident."
Q. How do I know if I have a case?
That varies from case to case, of course.
The only way to say for sure is to meet with an attorney and go over
the details of your case.
Q. How long will my case take?
The timeline varies from case to case since
no two injuries are alike. A lot also depends on the nature of the
accident. Plus, some injuries don't show up immediately -- it might be
weeks or months after the accident before you begin to notice that
something is wrong.
Going into this alone is rough. Insurance
companies have an army of attorneys who will see you as just a claim
number. At E.S. Gallon, we see you as a real person with real injuries
and real problems that flow from your injuries.
Q. What kind of injury cases do you handle?
E.S. Gallon's Personal Injury Section
handles personal injury cases, auto injury cases, defective product
cases and premises liability cases. Other sections of E.S. Gallon
handle Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability.
Q. What should I do if I've been injured in an accident?
First of all, of course, get medical
assistance. Take photos of the car -- both inside and out. If you can't
do it yourself, have someone get photographs of the area where the
accident happened. Show the object that caused the injury -- the
steering wheel, the dashboard -- whatever it was that hurt you. Look
for reasons other than weather that might have caused the accident.
