Auto Accidents

At Perantinides & Nolan in Akron, Ohio our auto accident attorneys are experienced in every phase of personal injury law, including car accidents, drunk drivers, uninsured motorists, and more.

To err may well be human, but that doesn’t mean that you should have to pay for the negligent or wrongful actions of another. Whether an accident occurs due to failure to stop, failure to yield, texting while driving, road rage, failure to pay attention, we believe that the party responsible for causing the accident should be held accountable.

Here are a few samples of Auto Accident Cases we have successfully resolved:

• A 40-year old pedestrian was struck while walking in a crosswalk resulting in a fracture of a bone in the foot.  A six figure policy limits settlement was achieved.

• A 58-year old female was involved in a motor vehicle accident, which resulted in lower back injuries and aggravation of a pre-existing back condition that had required 2 prior surgeries.  Accident victim underwent extensive physical therapy without success. After work up by her physicians, it was determined that she suffered from a herniated disc in the lumbar spine.  The defense maintained that the accident had nothing to do with her back condition and that her need for another surgery was not related.   After extensive litigation and discovery, a substantial settlement was reached.

After a long recovery, he developed cognitive deficits, memory loss and personality changes.  He lost his job and spouse filed for divorce.  Settlement was reached with the defendant.
