Justice via Fair Financial Compensation

The Olawale Law Firm is committed to getting justice through fair financial compensation if you or your loved one has been injured. We can help you to receive the three main forms of compensation by assisting you to successfully process your Westerville personal injury claim.

Medical Compensation

You may be compensated for the medical costs that you incurred while having your injuries treated at hospitals, clinics, or other healthcare facilities. Some examples of medical expenses are hospitalization bills, emergency room treatments, ambulance rides, rehabilitation care, laboratory tests, and the professional fees of physicians and surgeons.

Lost Income Compensation

You can get compensated for lost income if your injuries have prevented you from working for a particular length of time. You may be required to provide Human Resources (HR) data and payment slips to prove that you suffered financial loss because of your injuries.

Compensation for Non-economic Damages

You may be compensated for non-economic damages, which do not have a predetermined value. A Westerville injury lawyer from Olawale must verify their existence, especially since documents like receipts or bills cannot be used as supporting evidence for them.

Extensive Legal Experience

Our personal injury and immigration lawyers in Westerville are experienced in obtaining fair financial recovery for our clients whether in pre-suit settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitration, or court trials.

Our personal injury and immigration attorneys in Westerville are experienced in obtaining fair financial recovery for our clients whether in pre-suit settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitration, or court trials.

Settlement negotiation is the bargaining process between you as the injured party and the culpable party plus the insurance companies. The preparation entails the gathering of documents and supporting evidence. It involves the sending of a written demand letter, which lists and describes your injuries, medical treatments, financial losses, and non-economic damages. It also seeks to explain why the culpable party was responsible for your injuries.

Mediation is an informal procedure where you as the injured party and the culpable party discuss the matter with a third-party mediator until you reach a mutually agreeable solution to your dispute. It is voluntary so it only takes place if both sides specifically request for it. It has the advantage of allowing the two parties to each air their side without formal legal protocols. Both parties share the cost of mediation.

Arbitration is a type of alternative dispute resolution where an arbitrator hears and reviews the evidence of your personal injury case. The third-party arbitrator, who is typically a retired judge or lawyer, decides the outcome of the case and the amount of compensation to be paid. It is a quicker, more affordable option compared to a court trial.

A court trial takes place when the injured party files a lawsuit against the culpable party. The injured party becomes known as the plaintiff, while the culpable party is called the defendant. During the trials, both parties submit and cross-examine evidence related to the personal injury claim. Some examples of evidence are photos and videos of the accident, witness statements, and expert testimonies. The jury is responsible for deciding the outcome during personal injury trials.

Focus On Diversity

No matter what your cultural background is, you can rest assured that our legal team provides top-notch services to a diverse community of clients. Emmanuel Olawale is a first-generation immigrant who worked his way up the legal industry to become a well-respected trial lawyer.

Attorney Olawale has already helped clients with immigration cases, including getting different types of visas:

How Much Are Lawyers’ Fees for Personal Injury Cases?

We at Olawale Law Firm understand that it can be financially challenging for clients like you to pay money in advance for the services of a personal injury attorney in Westerville. That is why we have adopted an alternative payment system where you do not need to pay hourly rates to a lawyer as you pursue your personal injury case.

Our legal team works on a contingency fee arrangement for the benefit of injured parties such as yourself. We will only accept a percentage of the compensation amount that you will receive from the culpable party or insurance company as a settlement offer or court award. The total fee may vary with each client, depending on the total compensation and the percentage that was agreed upon beforehand.

Why is it Important to Have a Personal Injury Attorney?

You need to have a personal injury attorney in Westerville because they can handle legal matters in an efficient, productive way to increase the chances of success of your personal injury case. These are some of the critical tasks that an injury attorney from Olawale Law Firm can perform on your behalf:

Legal Negotiations

A personal injury lawyer can take care of legal negotiations on behalf of injured parties such as yourself. A non-lawyer like you may unintentionally risk the success of your case if you attempt to negotiate with other parties on your own. After all, you are not aware of all the legal implications of your words and actions.

In contrast, an attorney has substantial experience when it comes to dealing with culpable parties and insurance companies. He can skillfully negotiate with other parties in every stage of your personal injury case. He can also analyze the legal documents and insurance policies, including the fine print.

Fair Compensation in Personal Injury Cases

A lawyer can ensure that you will get fair compensation as an injured party by taking active steps towards a successful claim.

First, he or she will evaluate the merits of your claim. A personal injury attorney will advise you on what steps you need to take if you are interested in negotiating a settlement offer. The attorney shall get ready to present your personal injury case in court if you do not receive a reasonable offer from the culpable party and insurance companies.

Next, an attorney will educate you about your legal rights as the injured party. He or she will give you an estimate on the compensation amount that you may potentially receive, depending on the type and severity of the injuries that you sustained in the accident.

Afterward, the personal injury attorney will either negotiate with the culpable party and the insurance company so you can get a fair settlement offer. If the other parties do not provide a satisfactory offer, the attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf.

During the lawsuit, the legal allegations, evidence, and theories are properly formalized. According to the American Bar Association, you will be called the plaintiff while the culpable party shall become known as the defendant once you file a lawsuit.

Finally, the lawyer legally represents you during the court trial. He or she will follow the required court protocols and processes. The lawyer shall present your case and evidence to the jury or judge so that they will understand the legitimacy of your claim.

Representation for All the Legal Paperwork, Medical Bills, and Insurance Documents

a) Supporting Evidence
An injury lawyer can gather evidence that can support and strengthen your personal injury claim. This evidence is useful in proving the liability of the culpable party, as well as the extent of your injuries.

If you were involved in a car accident or premises accident, he can collect photos, videos, and footage of the scene of the accident. He can compile all the medical reports, employment documents, and witness statements that are connected to your accident. In case you got injured because of a defective product, he can keep the product and use it as evidence for your case.

b) Legal Communication
A personal injury attorney communicates with other parties on your behalf. He shall draft and send formal letters of representation to the culpable party, insurance company, manufacturers of defective products, witnesses, experts, and other people and companies that are involved in your personal injury case.

c) Demand Letter
The lawyer can write and send demand letters to the culpable party and insurance companies if necessary. A demand letter is a form of communication that asks for a specific amount of money as compensation for you as the injured party.

d) Legal Complaint
The attorney shall produce a legal complaint if you do not receive a fair settlement offer from the culpable party and insurance party. A legal complaint is a type of document that is composed of legal arguments. These arguments aim to establish that the culpable party is responsible for the accident which caused you to become injured. The complaint also states the particular amount that you believe the culpable party owes you as compensation.
