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, and proudly serves the Westerville community.*
When you are injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, the firm’s attorneys pursue fair compensation for your injuries and financial losses, so you can rebuild your life.*
Westerville has routinely been called one of Ohio’s best places to live. There is plenty to do, but you still get the quaint hometown feel of a small community with the larger city of Columbus only a stone’s throw away.
It is hard to imagine anything horrible happening in such a serene location. Unfortunately, life-changing accidents can happen anywhere. When they do, the personal injury attorneys at Oliver Law Office can help.
Do you need a personal injury attorney after an accident in Westerville?
Most people try to handle their accident claim alone. That can cause stress and anxiety, and it can make you lose out on the compensation you deserve.*
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. They want you to settle quickly and for as little money as possible, because that saves them time and money and keeps profits high.*
They may also use strong-arm tactics to get you to settle for less than you deserve while you are in a vulnerable physical and financial position.*
You need an attorney who can fight these tactics and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and financial losses. People who get legal help to resolve their issues tend to recover more money than those who handle their claims without help.*
An attorney can also prepare a personal injury lawsuit if an insurer fails to treat you fairly. A personal injury attorney serving the Westerville area knows how to use their knowledge and resources to maximize your compensation and fight for your legal rights.*

What compensation can you recover for a personal injury in Westerville?
While the value of each case varies based on the circumstances of the situation, in general, accident victims can pursue compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
You want compensation for your injuries. That’s not greedy. That’s fair.
Still, working out the value of an accident case can be hard without an experienced personal injury attorney. Many factors affect it, from the severity of your injuries to the cause of the accident.*
An attorney takes the time to evaluate your situation carefully and calculate the overall value of your economic and non-economic losses.*
Does Ohio cap damages for pain and suffering?
Ohio law (on the State of Ohio site) limits or caps how much money an individual can recover for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Individuals can only recover $250,000 or three times the amount of their economic damages, which are measurable losses like medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
Non-economic damages cannot exceed $350,000 per plaintiff. However, there is no non-economic damage cap when an individual suffers catastrophic injuries defined as permanent physical deformity, loss of the use of a limb, loss of bodily organ system, or permanent physical function injuries that leave a person unable to care for themselves.
A personal injury attorney can help you understand how the specifics of your case may affect the value of your case.
How long do you have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio?
Ohio law gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit.*
Being hurt in an accident can be overwhelming. Daily tasks may be a struggle, let alone fighting for the money you need to cover your accident-related expenses.*
If you wait too long to speak to an attorney, valuable evidence to support your case may be lost or destroyed. Waiting too long to file significantly reduces your chances of recovering maximum compensation.*
If you try to file a lawsuit after the deadline, you lose leverage against the insurer and the ability to have your case heard in court.*
