Case Results

Our client was lawfully operating her vehicle in Toledo, Ohio, when the defendant pulled out of a parking lot directly in front of her. The Toledo Police Department cited the defendant for failure to yield.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered significant personal injuries. She presented to the emergency department with severe neck pain, headaches, and stiffness that were aggravated by everyday activities such as bending, twisting, driving, and lifting.

Diagnostic imaging revealed cervical spine abnormalities, including disc osteophyte complexes at C3-4 and C4-5 with mild foraminal narrowing. She underwent medial branch nerve block procedures, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and multiple injection therapies, achieving only moderate relief. Despite these efforts, she continues to experience chronic pain radiating into her shoulders, muscle spasms, and functional limitations. Her injuries prevent her from performing more than sedentary work duties.

Because of the persistence and severity of her symptoms, she requires ongoing pain management and interventional care, and she continues to endure lasting effects from the crash.

The team at Boyk tried the case and successfully secured a verdict for compensation for the costs of her treatment and additional damages.

Traveling eastbound on County Road 212, our client had a vehicle in front of him and a vehicle behind him. The vehicle behind him failed to keep a safe distance between their car and our client’s car. The car behind our client struck the rear end of our client’s car, causing our client to strike the rear end of the car in front of him. Our client presented to Wood County Hospital with complaints of a mild headache, left-side chest wall pain, and left-sided neck pain with radiation down the left arm. Imaging was performed at this visit, and it was determined that he suffered from a closed head injury and cervical muscle strain. Our client went through months of therapy, spinal surgery, and extensive rehabilitation. He missed a substantial amount of work due to treatment and is still feeling the effects.

Our client came to our firm soon after his accident for legal help. Due to the liable driver not having insurance, Charles Boyk and his team worked with our client’s insurance company to use his uninsured motorist coverage. After filing his case into litigation, our team was able to negotiate with the insurance company to get a settlement offer. Our client accepted an offer of $100,000.

Our client was driving her daughter north on McCord Road to a dance class when the defendant driver, merging into her lane without looking, struck her vehicle. The responding police cited the defendant for failure to merge properly.

The collision caused our client to sustain significant injuries to her right wrist and arm. She was taken for immediate medical evaluation, which included x-rays and an MRI, ultimately leading to necessary surgery. Imaging confirmed damage to her CMC joint and volar oblique ligament.

In addition to her physical injuries, our client’s vehicle required repairs.

Recognizing the full scope of our client’s injuries and losses, Attorney Charles E. Boyk and his team meticulously compiled a powerful demand package for the at-fault insurer. This included not only the police report and collision evidence but also extensive medical documentation detailing the necessity of her right thumb carpometacarpal ligament reconstruction with tendon transfer. Our demand vividly outlined the permanent impairment and surgical disfigurement, the ongoing emotional distress, and the profound impact on her daily life, which included lost enjoyment and difficulty with driving, eating, dressing, and gripping items.

Crucially, we demonstrated how these permanent deficits prevented her from performing her job duties as a full-time event manager, securing compensation for lost wages and future earning capacity. Faced with this compelling presentation of liability, significant injury, and lifelong impact, the insurance company agreed to a substantial pre-litigation settlement. This recovery fully compensated our client for all medical expenses, property damage, lost income, and the permanent physical and emotional toll of the collision, allowing her to focus on her recovery and future.

Our client was traveling northbound on his motorcycle when a vehicle heading southbound made a left turn, struck our client, and threw him from his motorcycle which was totaled. Our client sustained a deep cut on his leg because of the collision and had to undergo treatment including physical therapy.

Our client reached out to the office while he was treating. Our team assisted him throughout treatment and negotiated a settlement offer to compensate our client for the injuries, property damage, and lost wages sustained from the collision. Our client accepted a policy limits settlement offer of $100,000.00.

Our client and her nine-month-old child survived a terrifying head-on collision in the early hours of the morning on Fearing Boulevard. According to reports, a reckless driver traveling northbound crossed the median into oncoming traffic around 1 a.m., striking the family’s southbound car head-on.

The force of the initial crash caused a chain reaction, with a following vehicle braking hard but still slamming into the family’s car. The combined impact sent their vehicle hurtling off the road, over a curb, and into a fence. All airbags deployed in the vehicle, which was later declared a total loss.

Miraculously, the infant escaped serious injury. The parent, however, was rushed to UTMC with severe injuries, including a broken nose requiring a plastic surgeon, a punctured liver, and spinal swelling. The parent reported a loss of feeling in their feet and remained hospitalized for three days. As a working RNA, they now face a significant recovery period and lost wages.

In response to this horrific, multi-impact collision, our team moved swiftly to protect our clients. We conducted a comprehensive investigation, gathering all police reports, witness statements, and critical photographic evidence of the scene and the totaled vehicle. Armed with this documentation and a detailed account of our client’s severe injuries and ongoing recovery, we prepared and submitted a powerful demand package to the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

This demand clearly outlined the undeniable liability and the profound impact on our client’s life, health, and livelihood as an RNA. Faced with the overwhelming evidence and the compelling narrative of the family’s ordeal, the insurer opted to resolve the matter without litigation. We successfully negotiated a substantial pre-litigation settlement that fully compensated our client for all medical expenses, including future care, lost wages, property loss, and the immense physical and emotional trauma endured. Our attorneys are dedicated to taking decisive action to secure the resources our clients need to rebuild their lives.

A routine drive home turned tragic for a local STNA in August on State Route 20. According to a police report, our client was traveling through an intersection in the Green Springs area when a medical transport van abruptly and recklessly made a left turn directly in front of her, violating her right of way.

The violent T-bone collision triggered her airbags and crumpled her vehicle, which immediately began filling with smoke. As she struggled to escape, a quick-thinking small business owner, who had captured the terrifying turn on camera, rushed to her aid and helped her to safety.

Our client, was transported by ambulance to the hospital. She sustained significant injuries to her neck, back, and hand, along with widespread bruising, requiring imaging and forcing her to take a necessary but difficult leave from her critical caregiving duties during her recovery.

With clear liability established by the police report and eyewitness video, our team built an uncompromising case. We meticulously compiled all evidence, including powerful neurosurgeon evaluations and MRI findings that detailed the extent of our client’s disc herniations and spinal trauma. This expert medical testimony was crucial in definitively linking her injuries to the crash and demonstrating their severe impact on her life and ability to work as a dedicated STNA.

Faced with this incontrovertible evidence, the at-fault party’s insurer moved to resolve the claim without the need for a lawsuit. We successfully negotiated a pre-litigation settlement that fully compensated our client for her medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle damage, and the significant personal hardship she endured. At Charles E. Boyk Law Offices, we are committed to using every resource to secure justice for our clients, allowing them to recover their lives with dignity and financial security.

Our client was a passenger in a vehicle lawfully traveling in Maumee, Ohio, when the defendant crossed the center line and struck their vehicle head-on. The collision was catastrophic: the force of impact, estimated at approximately 50 mph, caused the driver of our client’s vehicle to be killed instantly.

Our client was immediately transported by EMS for Level 1 trauma care. As a result of the crash, our client sustained serious injuries, including a fracture of the left tibial plateau with intra-articular involvement, a nondisplaced fracture of the medial fibular head, and significant knee trauma with associated swelling and bleeding within the joint (lipohemarthrosis). Additional imaging confirmed the distal femur and patella remained intact, though the patella was slightly subluxed.

These injuries caused significant pain, restricted mobility, and substantial medical expenses. Due to the severity of the crash and the clear liability of the defendant, we were able to recover the full policy limits available in connection with this accident.

While walking through a downtown Toledo parking garage on her way to work, our client was struck by a van navigating a curve up the ramp. The impact knocked her to the ground, and the van ran over her legs and feet. Emergency services transported her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a pelvic fracture.

Chuck and his team successfully secured the full policy limits on her behalf and are continuing to pursue workers’ compensation benefits.

Our client was stopped in traffic on U.S. 23 in Orange Township with three passengers when a serious crash occurred. The defendant, operating a delivery truck in the scope of his employment for a beverage company, failed to maintain an assured clear distance and slammed into the back of our client’s vehicle.

Emergency medical services responded quickly, and our client was transported to a hospital for evaluation due to neck and chest pain. X-rays were performed, and it was later revealed that he had sustained a shoulder strain. To manage his severe pain, he required multiple injections and was ultimately recommended for shoulder surgery. Our client is still recovering and has difficulties with daily activities.

Our attorneys and their litigation team were able to secure the $100k policy limits for our client.

Our client was on a walk and talking to her son on the phone. Towards the end of the walk, as our client approached her front door, a neighbor’s dog came and bit her on her left arm and pulled her to the ground. Our client hit her head on the way down.  Luckily the dog’s owner came and called the dog back. The dog owners called an ambulance but left before the police arrived. The incident caused our client to have numerous injuries including a concussion, a bruised tailbone.

Our client reached out to us for help when the dog owner’s up and left the apartment complex. Our team was able to track the dog owner’s down and began fighting for the compensation and justice that our client deserved. In the end our team secured a settlement of just over $100,000 for our client’s injuries.
