Attorney review: Jami S. Oliver, Founder. Admitted in Ohio, 1993.* About Jami
Oliver Law Office is a personal injury firm with locations in Dublin and Columbus, Ohio.*
Our Ohio personal injury lawyers know what you’re going through and can protect your rights while holding the parties responsible for your injuries accountable.
Founding attorney Jami S. Oliver earned 2027 “Lawyer of the Year” honors for Medical Malpractice Law, Plaintiffs, in Columbus, OH, from Best Lawyers in America (her 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” was for Product Liability Litigation, Plaintiffs, in Columbus) and has recovered millions in compensation for our clients.* Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.*
We’ll make your personal injury case as painless as possible while upholding your legal rights.
Smaller communities like Newark often seem safer than Columbus, Cleveland and other Ohio cities. But where you live has little bearing on your chances of being injured by someone else’s actions.* Car crashes, dog bites, defective products, medical mishaps, and similar incidents in Newark frequently have catastrophic consequences, from expensive medical bills and severe injuries to deep emotional distress.
Do you need a lawyer for a personal injury case in Newark?
There’s no legal requirement to work with an attorney on an Ohio personal injury case. That said, not hiring a lawyer is a grave mistake that will likely keep you from recovering the money you need.
First, a lawyer can make sure your claim includes all the losses you’ve suffered. Many people don’t realize a claim can include future needs, like ongoing medical bills. Without an attorney’s help, your compensation might fall short of your needs and slow your recovery.*
Second, a personal injury lawyer serving Newark makes your life easier while you recover. Recovering from severe injuries takes time and money, and our lawyers can handle the legal work while you rest and heal.*
Third, an Ohio injury attorney’s knowledge and experience increase your chances of recovering fair compensation. A lawyer can identify everyone who played a role in causing your injuries, gather evidence of why they are liable, and handle the paperwork and negotiations with insurance companies.*
Most Ohio personal injury cases don’t go to court. Still, you want to be prepared for a possible trial, and an experienced attorney can prepare your case for court if it comes to that.*
“Jami Oliver guided me through the most difficult experience of my life and showed me compassion and professionalism throughout the whole episode.”

What should you do after an accident in Newark, Ohio?
Report the incident, get medical care, save evidence, don’t discuss what happened and hire an attorney. Your first actions can significantly affect your chances of recovering fair compensation.*
Here’s what to do to protect your legal rights:
Report the incident
For a car crash or other motor vehicle accident, call 911 to report what happened. For a fall or other incident on someone else’s property, make a written report to the property owner or a manager. If you were injured at a business, let a manager or the owner know what happened.*
The bottom line is you want a written report of the incident to prove it happened.
Seek medical treatment
No matter how severe your injuries seem, see a doctor regardless.
You may have hidden injuries that haven’t shown up yet and could cause severe health problems. Telling your doctor about your injuries also creates a written record you can use later in a personal injury case.*
Tell your doctor about all your symptoms, but don’t exaggerate or make up injuries.
Gather and save evidence from the scene
If your injuries allow, use your phone to photograph the accident scene, any hazards you notice, any damage to your personal property (your car, for example) and your injuries. Look for possible eyewitnesses and ask for their contact information.*
However, seek medical attention if you have severe injuries to avoid jeopardizing your health.
Do not discuss the incident
We understand you want to tell your friends and family what happened, but insurance companies can use anything you say publicly about the incident against you. Don’t discuss the accident on social media either. Insurance companies can find your posts and use them to reduce your compensation or deny your claim.*
Hire an attorney
Your job after a personal injury incident is to rest and heal, but there are strict deadlines you must meet to protect your legal rights. A lawyer can start building your case while you recuperate and preserve vital evidence before it deteriorates or disappears.*
What compensation can you recover after an injury in Newark?
We can’t promise you a specific amount for your injuries, but our Ohio injury attorneys will help you pursue compensation for all your eligible losses after an accident.
With our help, you could recover compensation for:
- Lost income
- Current and future medical expenses
- Reduced earning capacity due to an injury or disability
- Diminished quality of life due to an injury or disability
- Pain and suffering
- The cost to repair or replace your damaged personal property
Although they’re not technically compensation, a court might award punitive damages in cases involving intentional wrongdoing or extreme negligence.
How long do you have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio?
Ohio law gives you two years from the date you sustained your injuries to file a personal injury lawsuit in most cases.
While there are some exceptions to this rule, don’t count on having extra time to take legal action.
We urge you to speak to an attorney about your case right away. They can preserve essential evidence and help you quickly recover the money you need to rebuild your life.*
Waiting to talk to an attorney about your case makes it harder to recover fair compensation after an accident. Call Oliver Law Office today or reach out online for a complimentary case review.
