Personal Injury and Accident Lawyers in Southeast Ohio
Suffering an injury can be a frightening experience. A serious injury can affect your entire life. At Fields, Dehmlow & Vessels, in Marietta, Ohio, we regularly handle serious personal injuries. We strive to obtain the best possible results, while working hard to minimize our clients' stress and worry.
We have the track record to prove it. In just the last two years, we have obtained multiple six-figure verdicts and settlements, and even a recent settlement exceeding $1 million. We have handled the following types of injury cases:
- Auto collisions
- Trucking accidents
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
- Unsafe premises (falls)
- Animal attacks and bites
- Unsafe products
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance claims
- Nursing home abuse
- Brain injuries and concussions
- Burns
- Neck, back, and spinal injuries
- Broken bones
- Injuries to knees and shoulders requiring surgery
- Permanent injuries and chronic pain
- Fatalities
Our goal is to settle every case as efficiently as possible, with the best result for our clients, but sometimes we must fight in court. We do not advise our clients to settle cheap. We try cases. Some insurance companies are notorious for refusing to offer a fair settlement to those who are injured. In those situations, we have the experience, and we do go to court. In the last two years alone, attorney Ethan Vessels has tried seven jury trials and five bench trials in the courts of Southeast Ohio including Washington, Monroe, Guernsey, and Athens Counties.
Making a personal injury claim and filing lawsuits is usually complicated. There are issues involving medical bills, lost wages, insurance, medical liens, and time limits. You should hire a lawyer with experience and results in handling these cases.
Before You Call any Attorney
Hiring a lawyer on an injury case is an important decision. It is not wise to call the first name in the phone book. Our personal injury clients always have many questions, and our new clients often ask the same questions. Whose insurance company pays for the medical bills? Do I have a claim against my insurance company? What is the fair value of my case?
Clients sometimes feel ashamed for calling an attorney after an injury. The stress of the situation makes them afraid to call an attorney, even intimidated.
If you have these questions, and are unsure of your options, before you call any attorney, call or e-mail us to obtain a free copy of the book, I have been injured. What are my legal rights? by attorney Ethan Vessels. There is no obligation, and we will send the book to you the same day.
