- AHAws HamzaSep 10, 20255.0If you’ve been in an E-scooter or E-bike accident, do yourself a favor and call Robert Erney. Rob and his team were not only incredibly friendly, but also excellent with communication throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond to make sure I received the best possible outcome from my settlement. I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and the effort he put into my case. If you ever find yourself injured and need an attorney who is not only skilled but also compassionate, I highly recommend Robert Erney and his team
- JCJames CobleJul 20, 20255.0Erney law exceeded my expectations with regards to my whole experience. I had multiple options I could have had represent me but Robert and Rachel at Erney law were the only ones that made the effort to actually face to face discuss my situation and possible outcomes with me before asking me to sign anything.. for me that meant a lot. They were in constant communication with me throughout my process and got my case resolved with speed and results I am very pleased with! Thank you Robert and Rachel!
- BSBrian SlatzerMar 24, 20255.0I would recommend this man to any and everyone fought for me since day one of my car accident and didn’t stop until it was all said and done
- ABAndrea BalasMar 3, 20215.0Throughout the time period of negotiating a settlement for my accident case attorneys Robert Erney and Mary Erney conducted themselves in a professional manner and worked in a timely fashion. They constructed the case with the details compiled from the oral presentation of the event, photographs from the scene and the medical and police reports. As my legal representatives, they sent letters to various agencies in my behalf. If issues arose, they stepped in to resolve discrepancies and payments. As the case progressed, they kept me abreast of the details and standing of the case with the insurance company. They continued to negotiate on my behalf through out the time period of the case until its resolution. Their services relieved me of the time and stress surrounding the legal issues of the accident and allowed me to focus on my medical and emotional issues surrounding the accident. I would recommend their services to individuals needing representation.
- CKCourtney KrafftOct 28, 20205.0Mary Erney was great! Im so pleased! She went above and beyond to help me and my husband! I was in a bad car wreck and was in alot of pain. My husband spent 2 days trying to deal with insurance companies while trying to take care of me and our kids. Finally we got tired of it and we found Mary! Once we gave her the details of the case we didn't have to talk or deal with insurance companies again! She kept me informed of the case and was always so easy to get a hold of through text, emails, phone calls. I highly recommend Erney Law!
Frequently Asked Questions About Erney Law
What is a personal injury case?
A personal injury case is a civil case. It may sound obvious, but legal jargon can be confusing. A case is categorized as a personal injury case when a person has been hurt or injured due to another’s negligence.
Personal injury cases run a good range including automobile accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, construction accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, and accidents that cause catastrophic injuries resulting in lost wages, significant medical expenses, and life-altering impacts. For this reason, you need a law firm with the depth of knowledge and experience to get you the results you deserve.
How do I pay for a lawyer in a personal injury case?
At a personal injury law firm like Erney Law, we offer a Free Consultation. You can visit our office in Columbus, Ohio to discuss your legal situation and share details related to your personal injury with no strings attached. Then, we will determine if we are the right personal injury lawyers for your case.
From there, we get to work!
We don’t charge any legal fees unless we make a recovery for you in your personal injury case.
How long will it take to receive my check after we win a case?
The turnaround time to recover compensation on personal injury claims is dependent upon the situation. Typically, the insurance company has 30 days to send the check.
At Erney Law, we prioritize the attorney client relationship and do everything possible to speed things up. We stay in close contact with you throughout the entire process and explain every step of the journey.
Will my personal injury case go to trial?
We are successful at settling almost all of our personal injury cases without going to trial. However, we will go to trial if we have to.
If my personal injury case goes to trial, will I have to go to trial?
Yes. As your personal injury attorneys, we will represent you and speak on your behalf in all legal matters. But your presence at the trial is necessary and important to settling your negligence claim.
Should I talk to the insurance company after being involved in an accident?
We recommend that you first consult an attorney before speaking with the insurance company. Insurance companies often brand themselves by using entertaining commercials and/or spokespersons in order to appear more approachable and friendly. But there’s nothing friendly about them attempting to prematurely settle a claim that could cost you thousands in lost compensation and unpaid medical expenses.
While it may be tempting to accept the initial settlement offer to move things along more quickly, in doing so you may be selling yourself short on compensation. This is where the experienced accident lawyers at Erney Law can expertly guide you through the process and get you all that you deserve from the car accident.
What are the criteria I should use to determine the best lawyer to handle my auto accident case?
Each person is unique and should meet with a lawyer in-person to determine if you are comfortable working with that attorney or law firm. You should look for a lawyer who is experienced and knowledgeable in handling your particular matter and will communicate well with you.
What is the process like when hiring an attorney for an auto accident case?
An experienced car accident lawyer will provide you with a free consultation with no expectations. The attorney will discuss the facts of your accident, your injuries, what you can expect the law firm to do on your behalf, and will answer any questions you may have.
How long does it typically take to settle an auto accident case with the insurance company?
There is no “typical” time frame for settling motor vehicle accident cases. Each case is unique. And while it is critical that you’re aware of the statute of limitations to file a car accident claim or bring a lawsuit against the at-fault party, you should first consult with a car accident attorney before accepting any settlement offer presented by the at fault party’s insurer. Once you accept an insurance company’s settlement, there is no going back.
The knowledgeable and experienced Columbus car accident lawyers at Erney Law take all aspects of your case into consideration to build the strongest possible settlement.
What if I am injured but I do not have health insurance?
Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are unable to afford health insurance. Our experienced Columbus car accident lawyers have worked with many clients who do not have health insurance and we are able to help them locate treatment facilities so they can obtain the care they need.
What do I do if the at-fault driver does not have car insurance?
As Columbus car accident attorneys, this is a problem we see far too often. In order to protect yourself on the roadway, it is critical that you purchase Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage from your own automobile insurance carrier. This coverage will protect you in the event you are involved in a motor vehicle accident and the at-fault driver does not have coverage. Our personal injury attorneys, who specialize in car accidents, are able to quickly review your policy and advise you if you have this available coverage.
Who fixes my car after I’ve been in an accident and it was not my fault?
Depending on your automobile insurance coverage, you may be able to have your own automobile insurance fix your car instead of waiting on the at-fault person’s insurance. If liability is at issue, the at-fault insurance company may not fix your vehicle for several months. If your vehicle is at a tow lot, you have a duty to mitigate your damages and move your car so it does not continue to accrue daily storage costs. If you think you may be entitled to damages to your vehicle and are not receiving compensation, get in touch with trustworthy car accident lawyers.
Do I have a right to be compensated for lost wages?
Under Ohio law, you do have the right to be compensated for lost wages. You will need to prove your lost wages claim by providing a pay stub, tax returns, and a letter from your employer. Our firm has a specific form that we send to your employer to ensure that we collect all of your lost wages. Be sure to make your auto accident lawyers aware of any lost wages.
What happens if the at-fault driver was a semi-tractor trailer?
If you were involved in a Columbus truck accident with a semi-tractor trailer, it is critical that you hire an experienced lawyer to handle this type of personal injury claim. A claim against trucking companies or any other commercial vehicle is handled much differently from a typical automobile claim. A semi-tractor trailer involves a truck driver with a commercial driver’s license and a company that is responsible for that truck driver.
A semi-truck hit me and the truck is from another state. Does that matter?
Oftentimes, semi-truck drivers will travel throughout the country. Many accidents involving semi-trucks involve a truck and/or a driver from a different state. The most important factor is where the accident occurred. Our firm has experience litigating and resolving complex trucking accidents, no matter where the trucking company or driver resides.
If I am hurt by a semi-truck, how long should I wait before hiring a truck accident lawyer?
With trucking accident cases, the insurance company for the trucking company has their lawyers and investigators meet at the accident scene within minutes of the accident so they can begin gathering evidence and document all of the facts immediately. It is crucial that you hire an experienced attorney as soon as you possibly can following a semi-truck accident. This is the only way you can be on a level playing field.
What is the minimum amount of insurance a trucking company is required to have?
Per the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, or FMCSA, trucking companies are required to carry a minimum of $750,000.00 in liability insurance.
Can a regular car accident attorney handle my truck accident case?
Probably not. Trucking litigation today requires highly specialized practitioners. A truck accident case is simply not handled the same way as a car accident case.
What types of personal injury cases does Erney Law handle?
Erney Law handles a wide range of personal injury cases including automobile and truck accidents, medical malpractice, workplace and construction accidents, pedestrian and motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, and catastrophic injuries resulting in lost wages and significant medical expenses.
