Worker Injured in Rollover Accident on Way to Jobsite
Our client was a passenger in a car travelling on US Hwy 24 in Henry County when the driver lost control on an icy curve, causing the vehicle to veer off the right side of the road into a ditch. Emergency personnel promptly reported to the scene and saw the pickup truck lying on its side. EMS transported our client to the hospital, where he received X-rays and imaging. This revealed multiple spinal fractures and a brain bleed characterized as a mild aneurysmal dilation. He required extensive hospitalization and treatment as a result of these injuries.

Mr. Boyk and the team promptly determined that our client was enroute to a job site at the time of the crash. As an independent contractor based in Indiana, our client was not covered by workers’ compensation. Therefore, the team began working directly with the insurance company to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim.

Correction Officer Viciously Attacked by Prisoner
Our client was working as a corrections officer in Mansfield, Ohio, when she informed an inmate that he was being disciplined for inappropriate behavior. During this interaction, the inmate began to aggressively pleasure himself in front of her. She then informed him that he would receive a disciplinary ticket for this disgusting behavior. In response, the inmate became enraged and violently attacked her. He struck her three times in the face, causing her to fall to the ground, where he continued the assault with three additional blows to the head. As a result, our client sustained multiple lacerations to her head and face, which bled profusely. Our client missed multiple months of work due to the injuries.

Mr. Boyk and his team immediately filed a Workers’ Compensation claim. Charles Boyk Law is working tirelessly to make sure she receives the compensation she deserves from this horrific incident.

Dog Off-Leash Causes Injury Motorcycle Accident
In Erie Township, our client was riding with a group of motorcyclists when a loose dog ran into the roadway. In an effort to avoid the maddened animal, the motorcycle group began sporadically braking and swerving. During an evasive maneuver, our client lost control and slid off the road, suffering serious injuries. He was life-flighted to St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo, where he was diagnosed with fractured vertebrae and broken ribs. The dog’s owner was cited by the Ottawa County Dog Warden for failing to secure the animal on a leash.

Mr. Bruno and his team promptly began investigating the dog owner’s homeowners’ insurance policy to pursue compensation for the significant injuries our client sustained as a result of the incident
