What To Do After an Injury
Five Steps to Protect Your Health and Your Case
1. Seek medical care immediately.
Even if injuries seem minor, prompt medical evaluation documents your condition and prevents complications.
2. Report the incident.
File a report with law enforcement, your employer, or the property owner, depending on where the injury occurred.
3. Gather and preserve evidence.
Take photos, save medical records, and collect witness contact information.
4. Avoid speaking with insurance representatives.
Insurance adjusters often aim to minimize payouts—consult an attorney before giving any statements.
5. Contact The Kollin Firm.
Early legal guidance helps protect your rights, preserve evidence, and strengthen your claim from the start.

How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?
Every personal injury case follows its own timeline, depending on the severity of the injuries, the complexity of liability, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate. While some claims settle within a few months, others—especially those involving extensive medical treatment or disputed fault—can take a year or more. The Kollin Firm keeps clients informed at every step, providing clear expectations and ongoing updates so you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Ohio?
In most cases, Ohio law allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Failing to act within that period may forfeit your right to recover damages.
What types of damages can I recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and long-term care needs. In severe cases, punitive damages may also apply.
Do I have to go to court to recover compensation?
Not always. Many claims settle through negotiation or mediation. However, our firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial, giving you the leverage for the best possible result.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Legal fees in personal injury cases vary depending on the complexity of the claim, the amount of investigation required, and whether the case proceeds to trial. During your initial consultation, The Kollin Firm will explain all potential costs and available fee arrangements, allowing you to make an informed decision before proceeding.
