FIGHTING FOR WRONGFUL DEATH AND INJURY VICTIMS

Hiring an experienced wrongful death lawyer or personal injury lawyer will put you at ease so you can focus on healing. Frank represents wrongful death and personal injury victims mostly in the Mentor, Cleveland, Akron, and Lorain Ohio areas.

HOW MAY WE HELP YOU?

Car Accidents

In 2023, Ohio recorded 213,185 traffic accidents, with 1,007 fatalities and 5,231 serious injuries. If you have suffered a severe injury or lost a loved one in an Ohio traffic accident, it's crucial to understand your rights and seek compensation for your damages.

If you lost a family member due to someone else's negligence or recklessness, you may file a wrongful death claim. The Piscitelli Law Firm will explain how these claims work in Ohio and how to hold the at-fault party financially liable for your losses.

Motorcycle Accidents

Medical Malpractice

When seeking medical care, we trust doctors and nurses for their training and knowledge. However, medical negligence can cause traumatic experiences and life-threatening injuries, such as misdiagnosis or botched operations worsening patients' conditions.
 

Drunk Driving

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol remains a major cause of motor vehicle accidents in Ohio. In 2023, there were over 8,300 alcohol-related accidents, resulting in at least 314 fatalities according to OSHP's Crash Dashboard data.

Pedestrian Accidents

In 2021, Ohio recorded 173 fatal pedestrian accidents, the highest in five years. These incidents constituted 13% of all motor vehicle fatalities since 2017, with a total of 14,466 traffic crashes involving pedestrians occurring on Ohio highways since then.
 

Dog Bites

According to USPS data, Cleveland ranks among the top cities for dog attacks on postal workers. In 2023, as many as 43 workers were attacked by dogs in the Cleveland area alone. Across the state of Ohio, a total of 311 postal workers were injured in dog attack incidents during that year.

Slip and Fail

For adults, public falls are embarrassing and risky, potentially causing injuries and missed workdays. Victims of negligence in maintaining safe spaces can seek compensation for damages in Ohio. Learn about slip and fall cases, filing claims, and the importance of legal assistance.

When an accident causes life-altering injuries and permanent disability, the victim may file a catastrophic injury claim. Learn how these claims differ from standard personal injury claims under Ohio law and how to pursue compensation with Frank's guidance.

WHAT STEPS SHOULD I TAKE TO FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN OHIO?

A wrongful death or personal injury claim can often be a confusing process, as it is not always clear whether you will be dealing with an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit. Most personal injury cases may be resolved through an insurance claim. For example, if you were hurt in a car accident caused by someone else, you may need to file an insurance claim with the negligent driver’s auto insurance carrier. If you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident at a grocery store, you may need to file a claim with the store’s business insurance carrier.

However, in some cases, the insurance company may deny your claim or make an unreasonably low settlement offer. This is when you may need to take legal action and file a personal injury civil lawsuit with the help of an attorney. Frank can assist you in both situations, fighting for your rights as a victim even if your case does not end up going to trial.

MEET FRANK

FRANK PISCITELLI

Lawyer

As a first-generation Italian in the United States, Frank is no stranger to tough times. His father’s family moved to Cleveland from Italy on May 22, 1958, with a few articles of clothing, some personal items, and very little money. His family shared a home with three other related families but happily worked long hours doing jobs that involved physical labor just to put food on the table. There was the promise of hope and opportunity, which was missing before his family moved here.

WHY SHOULD I HIRE AN ATTORNEY FOR MY CASE?

When you’ve been hurt or even lost a loved one because someone else was negligent, hiring an attorney is not a luxury but a necessity. Many insurance companies are not interested in doing what is best for claimants and will spare nothing to protect their own bottom line, even if that means picking your claim apart to find reasons to pay you much less than what you deserve.

Dealing with all of that while you are injured and trying to recover at the hospital or at home often proves to be too much for most clients. Frank has vast experience negotiating with insurance companies and taking care of all aspects of a personal injury case on behalf of clients. By hiring an attorney for your case, you will get the peace of mind of knowing we are looking after your best interests and fighting for top compensation for you so you can put your focus back on what matters most – recovering and spending time with your loved ones.

HOW IT WORKS:

This is a general road map of the life of many cases. Each case is different. Your case may not follow this road map. The time each case is in each stage of the road map can vary depending on the facts and nuisances of each case.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A statute of limitations is like a legal deadline that defines how much time a person has to file a legal claim. In Ohio, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. This means that a person injured in an accident must file a claim within two years of the date of the accident, or they may be barred from recovering damages. In certain cases, such as when the victim is a minor, the statute of limitations may be tolled, giving victims more time to file a case. It is always a good idea to take prompt action and contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to improve your chances of securing compensation.
