Not Sure If You Have a Case? We Can Help!

You don't need to know whether you have a "personal injury case" before contacting us. Tell us what happened. We'll look at the circumstances, explain what legal options may be available, and give you straightforward feedback about whether we can help. There is no charge for an initial case evaluation.

​

​

Personal Injury Cases We Handle... 

Car and Truck Accidents

If another driver's negligence caused a crash that injured you, we can help you understand your rights and deal with the insurance and legal issues that follow.

​

Pedestrian and Bicycle Injuries

People walking or riding a bicycle have little protection when a driver fails to pay attention or follow the rules of the road. We help injured pedestrians and cyclists understand their options.

​

Injuries on Someone Else's Property

Property owners may have legal responsibilities when dangerous conditions cause someone to be injured. These cases depend heavily on the circumstances, so we'll review what happened and determine whether you may have a claim.

​

Other Injuries Caused by Negligence

Not every injury fits neatly into a category. If you were seriously hurt because of someone else's actions or failure to act, contact us. We'll help you determine what comes next

​

Personal Injury Representation Without an Upfront Attorney Fee

You don't pay an attorney fee upfront for a personal injury case.

Personal injury cases are generally handled on a contingency-fee basis. That means our attorney fee is based on an agreed percentage of the amount recovered for you. If there is no recovery, you don't owe us an attorney fee.

Before you hire us, we'll explain the contingency fee agreement and how potential case expenses are handled so you know what to expect.

​

What Makes Yocum Law Different?​

We'll Tell You What We Think

Not every injury results in a legal claim, and not every claim should become a lawsuit. We'll look at what happened and give you straightforward advice about your options.

​

We Explain What Is Happening

Insurance claims and personal injury cases come with their own language, rules, and processes. We'll explain what's happening in normal human language and answer your questions along the way.

​

Your Case Is About More Than a Claim Number

An insurance company sees a claim. We see the person dealing with the injury.

We want to understand how the injury has affected your health, your work, your family, and your day-to-day life. Those things matter.

​

What Compensation May Be Available?

Every personal injury case is different. Depending on the circumstances, an injured person may be able to seek compensation for losses such as:

• Medical expenses

• Lost income

• Pain and suffering

• Property damage

• Other losses caused by the injury

The value of a claim depends on the facts, the available evidence, applicable insurance coverage, and Ohio law. We won't promise a particular result. We'll explain what we see in your case and help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

​

Frequently Asked Questions​

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

You don't have to figure that out on your own. Generally, we will want to know what happened, who may have been responsible, when the injury occurred, what injuries you suffered, and what medical treatment you've received.

We'll review that information and talk with you about your options.

​

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Insurance companies may contact you quickly after an accident and ask questions or request a statement.

Before providing a recorded statement, signing documents, or accepting a settlement, it may be helpful to understand your rights and the potential consequences. If you're unsure, contact us before making a decision.

​

What if the insurance company already offered me money?

You can still contact us. A settlement usually requires you to give up your right to pursue additional compensation related to the claim. Before accepting an offer, you should understand what you're agreeing to and whether you know the full extent of your injuries and losses.

​

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

There is no upfront attorney fee. Personal injury cases are generally handled on a contingency-fee basis, which means the attorney fee is paid from the recovery if the case is successful. We'll explain the fee agreement and responsibility for case expenses before representation begins.

​

How long will my personal injury case take?

It depends on the circumstances. The severity of your injuries, length of medical treatment, insurance issues, disputed facts, and whether litigation becomes necessary can all affect the timeline.

We won't promise a timeline we can't control. We will keep you informed about what is happening and what comes next.

​

Do I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many personal injury claims can be resolved without a trial. Others may require litigation. We'll explain your options and discuss important decisions with you as the case develops.

​

Do you represent people outside Columbus?

Yes. Yocum Law serves clients throughout Ohio, and many meetings can be handled by phone or virtually.
