Case Results

While traveling north on US Route 68, our pregnant client was hit by another vehicle. The other vehicle had been traveling eastbound on County Road 90. They failed to stop at the stop sign and entered the intersection. The cars collided and both received heavy front end damage. Both cars were later decided to be totaled.

Our client was taken by EMS to Hardin Memorial Hospital. She complained of pain in her left leg and both hands. The pain in our client’s hand continued for many months. She experienced pain, numbness, and mobility issues. She was forced to do occupational therapy rehabilitation but continues to experience pain to this day.

Our client came to our firm for help with her case and treatment. Charles Boyk and his team helped our client during her treatment, negotiations, and ultimate settlement with two insurance companies. Both insurance companies offered her policy limits, adding up to $100,000.

While traveling east on US 223, our client was struck by another vehicle who was attempting to illegally turn left onto US 223. The cars collided and both received heavy damage, with our client’s vehicle requiring the Jaws of Life to be used for her to exit. Our client’s vehicle was totaled. Our client was taken to ProMedica Toledo Hospital by EMS. She was evaluated and found to have four different fractures in her leg, a punctured lung, broken sternum, broken wrist, and a broken ankle. She required multiple surgeries on her ankle. She also required surgery on the vertebrae in her neck. Our client requires long-term rehabilitation and has to remain dependent on others for the remainder of her life.

Our client, who had retired 6 months prior to this incident, came to our firm for help with her case and treatment. Our team helped our client during her treatment, negotiations, and ultimate settlement with the insurance company. Our firm referred her to a plastic surgeon who gave a report on our client, which allowed us to receive damages past the policy limitation. The report showed permanent and substantial physical deformities our client must suffer from. The firm also created a “day in the life” video, where we showed how our client must suffer daily and how her life changed. After our firm prepared a mediation statement laying out the entire accident and treatment of our client, she agreed to a large confidential settlement which will help her continue to get the treatment she needs.

Our client was riding his motorcycle traveling southbound on Reynolds Road. Another man on a motorcycle attempted to pass our client. However, he struck the rear side of our client’s motorcycle. This caused our client to slide across the roadway before coming to a stop on the road. He was transported to the University of Toledo Medical Center by ambulance and diagnosed with two fractures in his fibula, a fractured ankle, open fractures of his toes, and significant injury to the skin on his knee and calf.

Another lawyer in the area referred the client to our firm. Our firm was able to work diligently with our client and help him receive the compensation he deserves. Our client accepted a $100,000 policy limits offer from the insurance company.

Our client was walking through a marked crosswalk when a driver made a left-hand turn into our client’s walkway. The driver did not see our client and ended up colliding with his person. Following the collision, our client was transported from the scene via ambulance and was treated at a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, he had suffered a skull fracture and was without brain function for several days before he ultimately passed. The surviving family contacted our office to pursue a wrongful death action against the at-fault driver. Attorney Mike Bruno and his pre-litigation team were able to procure the $100,000 policy limits from the other party’s insurance carrier for the surviving family. While any amount of money is little compensation for the loss of a loved one, this settlement can provide the family some relief for the financial burden that resulted from the driver’s negligence.

This accident occurred in 2020 when our client was a passenger in a vehicle that was traveling through a four-way intersection in Henry County, Ohio. At the same time, a semi-truck approached this intersection, stopped at the posted stop sign, but then continued into the intersection when our client’s vehicle had the right-of-way. The semi-truck driver’s failure to yield resulted in our client’s vehicle to collide head-on with the front passenger sign of the semi-truck. The Henry County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene and cited the at-fault party for failure to yield the right-of-way. Our client was transported from the scene via ambulance to a nearby hospital for her injuries. She had complaints of chest, pelvic, face, left ankle pain, and the paramedics described an “obvious deformity to her left ankle.” Our client was diagnosed with an extensive list of injuries including complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS), fracture of her left foot, post-traumatic migraine headaches, mild traumatic brain injury, insomnia, as well as other significant injuries. Our client has sought treatment for several years, and her doctors have noted that the client’s CPRS will continue to cause her difficulty with daily activities. CPRS can last a lifetime and will require consistent follow up treatment even if the client is someday able to go into remission.
The client contacted our office to help guide her through her legal recovery action. After taking depositions and an unsuccessful mediation, Attorney Charles Boyk and his litigation team were ultimately able to secure a $225,000 settlement for our client prior to the case proceeding to trial.

Our client was driving eastbound when he approached the intersection of Monroe Street and South Cove Boulevard. Our client’s lane of travel had the right-of-way through this intersection, so he proceeded through it. At the same time, the at-fault party failed to yield the right of way and also proceeded into the intersection, resulting in a powerful impact between the two vehicles. Due to the at-fault party’s speed at time of the collision, our client’s vehicle was forced off the roadway and eventually came to a stop on a nearby sidewalk. The Toledo Police Department responded to the scene and cited the at-fault party for failure yield the right of way at a stop sign. A few days after the crash, the client was still experiencing great pain in his chest, shoulder, ribs, neck, and back. After seeking medical attention, the client was diagnosed with numerous injuries including several disc bulges throughout the cervical region in his back. Additionally, it was later discovered the client had suffered mild to moderate hearing loss in his left ear. The client now requires the assistance of hearing aids.
Shortly after his accident, the client turned to our office. Charles Boyk and his pre-litigation team immediately started working on this case. The team assisted with treatment referrals, managed the client’s medical bills and records, and was there for the client every step of the way. Once our client was done treating, we presented a demand for settlement to all involved insurance companies. Through negotiations, our office was successful in obtaining the $100,000 policy limits for our client.

Our client was riding his motorcycle in the curb lane southbound on Holland Road in Maumee, Ohio. At the same time, another driver was attempting to leave the Meijer parking lot and head northbound on Holland Road. This driver failed to yield the right of way to our client, pulling out in front of him, and colliding with his motorcycle. Our client was thrown onto the roadway, landing on his right shoulder. He was taken to a nearby emergency department for medical treatment and there it was revealed that he had sustained a fracture to his scapula, eye contusion, and pulmonary contusion. Following the accident our client was unable to work for approximately seven weeks due to his injuries. He required a significant amount of physical therapy and follow up care to ensure his injuries were healing properly.

Following the accident, our client reached out to us for help with his legal recovery. When negotiations pre-suit was unsuccessful, our attorneys and their litigation team filed a lawsuit on behalf of our client. After undertaking discovery and depositions, our team was successful in obtaining the policy limits for our client.

Our office was able to reach a significant, confidential pre-suit settlement with a major private school bus company in a sexual assault case. One of the company’s drivers preyed upon our client and groomed the middle-school student for months. After systematically isolating the client by altering his route and using a ploy to obtain the client’s phone number, the driver ultimately raped her. While no amount of money can take away the everlasting effects she will have, the settlement can provide some comfort, knowing she will continue to have access to the resources she needs to heal. Our office is committed to providing representation to victims and survivors of sexual assault and abuse. We have dedicated a team of attorneys and staff who have the expertise to handle such sensitive and important cases.

This accident occurred in 2021 when our client was traveling northbound in the right lane of Interstate 280 in Oregon, Ohio. Another driver attempted to pass our client in the left lane, but a plow truck prevented him from doing so. To avoid colliding with the plow truck in front of him, the other driver slowed down too fast, causing him to lose control of his vehicle. As a result, he collided with the driver’s side of our client’s vehicle. The Oregon Police Department responded to the scene of the accident and cited the other driver for failure to control his vehicle. Our client was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries where he was diagnosed with a concussion, chest wall pain, and injury to his left arm.

When our client contacted our office, our attorneys went to work, communicating with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. Through negotiations, she was successful in obtaining a satisfactory settlement for our client.

This accident occurred in 2023 when our client was traveling eastbound along State Route 15 on his motorcycle at approximately 55 miles per hour. As he was doing so, another driver was attempting to merge onto the highway and failed yield the right of way to our client. This other driver, who was traveling approximately 40 miles per hour, sideswiped our client, causing him to be thrown off of his motorcycle and onto the highway. The Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to the scene and cited the other driver for the accident. Our client was then transported to the hospital with serious injuries. At the hospital our client was diagnosed with a closed head injury, an open fracture of his ulna, a severe heel laceration, a degloving injury to his lower right leg, and an orbital contusion. Due to the severity of his injuries, our client was transferred to another hospital more equipped to deal with his injuries. He was admitted the hospital for several days and required surgical intervention for his injuries.

Knowing he needed assistance with his legal recovery, our client reached out to us for help. Attorney Mike Bruno and his pre-litigation paralegal immediately began communicating with the insurance company of the at-fault driver to get our client the compensation he deserved. They were quickly successful in obtaining a policy limits offer of $100,000, which the client accepted.
