Other people and companies have a duty to be responsible for your safety. If their negligence leads to an accident and you get hurt, they should also be responsible for the suffering and costs you incur.
But the negligent party and their insurance company often resist doing what’s right for you. As an Ohio personal injury attorney, Fred Sommer negotiates with insurance companies on your behalf, gathers evidence you need, builds a legal strategy—and goes to court if that’s what it takes.
Receiving the proper compensation for your injuries makes it easier to put a painful chapter behind you and move on. Fred helps with car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, dog bites, injuries due to hazards on someone else’s property and more.
