Life today is complicated, and the law is complicated as well. Laws are also constantly changing. But the attorneys at Spitler & Williams-Young Co., L.P.A., take a common sense approach to the law. Specialization in particular areas allows us to maintain our commitment to the high skill level necessary to successfully pursue each case in these areas:
Our attorneys and staff are also well-versed in the ways these areas inter-relate, allowing us to pursue multiple areas of recovery to protect each client's livelihood.
Most
workplaces can be dangerous. Ohio law requires each
employer to provide workers' compensation coverage for work-related
injuries
and major illnesses. Compensation may include reimbursement
of medical bills, lost income due to inability to work, and lost
wages
when a lower-paying job must be taken as a result of an injury.
In order for the client to receive all the benefits to which he/she is entitled, attorneys and staff at Spitler & Williams-Young Co., L.P.A., handle every facet of the claim, including
-
reporting the accident, interviewing witnesses, and managing the procedural aspects of the claim
- overseeing medical treatment ensuring that medical bills are paid and that wages continue during disability
- examining the incident for related cases due to negligence, defective products, or auto injuries which occur on the job, or possible Social Security benefits
Injuries and the suffering they cause
can have long-lasting and sometimes catastrophic effects on one's life.
Complex personal injury laws determine liability, extent
of injuries, and entitlement to damages in cases such as auto accidents,
defective
products, negligence, or assault. Spitler & Williams-Young
Co., L.P.A., has the expertise necessary to
- determine if a legitimate claim exists, even if the client is partially responsible
- utilize experts in accident reconstruction, defect analysis of the car or roadway, and vocational impact
- search for multiple sources of insurance, especially when the other party is uninsured or underinsured
When a product causes serious injury
or illness at home or at work, the manufacturer and/or retailer may be
held responsible. However, this
is a very technical area of law. Spitler & Williams-Young Co.,
L.P.A., has the technical resources available to
- determine whether defective manufacture, defective design, or "failure to warn" conditions exist
- preserve the product and related evidence
- retain technical experts such as engineers, bio-mechanical experts, human factors experts, and others who can analyze the safety and risk of a product's design
No dollar amount can replace a loved one whose death is caused by the
negligent or willful act of another, whether at home, in the workplace,
or through the use of a defective product. It is also said by sociologists
that the death of a loved one is the most stressful event in one's life.
Recognizing this, Spitler & Williams-Young Co., L.P.A., handles all wrongful death cases with great sensitivity and attention to detail as clients seek recompense for loss of companionship, loss of a family's livelihood, and suffering of the deceased family member.
Most employees pay into the federal Social Security fund. Social Security
offers several programs, such as retirement income, disability benefits
for participants who have been unable to earn income for a year or more
due to injury or illness, and income and medical benefits for disabled
persons with limited economic resources (such as widows, widowers, and
children) who may not be eligible for the disability program.
The attorneys and staff at Spitler & Williams-Young Co., L.P.A., help clients negotiate the complex and often lengthy Social Security benefits approval process by
-
determining eligibility for benefits, even if a client is receiving workers' compensation
- analyzing the effect Social Security benefits can have on other disability benefit plans
- providing the exact measurements and information required by the Social Security approval and appeals process
- coordinating the claim with related workers' compensation, personal injury, product liability, and wrongful death cases
