Vehicle Accidents
Vehicle transportation has become so common in the US, we often forget how dangerous it can be. Even a minor accident can result in bodily harm and serious damage to your vehicle, leading to expensive medical and repair bills.
When you’ve been involved in an auto accident, it’s important that you take the right actions as soon as possible. This includes speaking to an attorney. Even if no litigation is involved, an accident attorney can help you understand your full range of options and ensure you receive full compensation for damages that have occurred.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are far more at risk of suffering injury or death in an accident. This has created a reputation that motorcyclists live dangerously and carefree. The truth is, when a motorcycle collides with a car, it’s much more likely that the driver of the car is at fault.
If you’ve been injured while riding your motorcycle, you should first see to your immediate medical needs. From there, it’s important to have an experienced accident attorney guiding you through your case.
Truck Accidents
Ohio is one of the biggest hubs for trucking in the US. While this provides the state with numerous jobs, it can also lead to serious accidents when rules and safety measures are not properly followed.
If you’ve been injured due to the actions of a truck driver, it is the responsibility of the driver and the company that employs them to cover your expenses. These companies often have legal teams dedicated to paying as little as possible, if not outright denying claims.
Our experienced team can protect your needs and fight for what you are legally owed.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a terrible experience to go through. In the midst of making arrangements and coping with grief, it can feel impossible to navigate the legal implications as well. The Richards Firm is here to represent your case and take the necessary actions so that you can focus on yourself and your family.
When someone suffers from a wrongful death, they often have no idea where to begin. One of the best things you can do right away is to speak to an attorney. We can answer questions, provide options, and begin to build your case.
Dog Bites
Dogs may be considered man’s best friend, but when they’re poorly trained, scared, or put in an unfamiliar situation, they can become very unpredictable. A dog bite may seem like a minor injury, but it can lead to infection, loss of function, and ongoing trauma.
If you’ve been bitten by a dog, it’s very important that you seek out a medical professional. You should also speak to an injury attorney. It is the responsibility of the dog’s owner, harborer, or keeper to prevent the dog from causing harm. When they fail to do this, they are legally responsible for damages that occur.
Product Liability
We often take for granted the products we use and consume on a daily basis. We trust that these products have been properly inspected and tested, and that they are safe for their intended use.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Product liability is often misunderstood, with many quick to blame the injured party instead of the seller or manufacturer of the product. Don’t let this happen to you. If you’ve been injured by a product in the Butler County or Northern Kentucky regions, contact our attorney office today and discovery your options.
Premises Liability
When you’re on someone else’s property, especially property belonging to a professional business, you trust that it is safe and well-maintained. Unfortunately, premises injury is quite common. To make things worse, Ohio law isn’t very friendly to premises liability cases.
Property owners and their insurance companies are focused on refusing fault and denying claims. If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of a property owner, you need a professional attorney to build your case and represent your needs.
With The Richards Firm, you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case.
Nursing Home Negligence
When you place a loved one in the care of a nursing home, you trust that they will properly look after them. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Both negligence and abuse can be prevalent in nursing home facilities. This is not always immediately apparent, and it can be difficult to prove.
If you suspect that a loved one has suffered due to the action or inaction of a nursing home facility, you need to start building your case immediately. We can help you through this difficult situation.
