“I am not an attorney, but I am convinced that my case was not an easy one. However, The Stuckey Firm (especially my attorney, Michael V.) made it seem routine and stressless for me. Michael worked with me for well over two years, but never gave up on me and his determination to seek justice for me. He experienced my highs and my lows, but constantly reaffirmed that he was with me for the long haul. I slept so much better at night knowing that I had the Stuckey Firm handling my case. Once my case was settled to the satisfaction of all concerned, Michael promised to be there for me should I ever need his services again. He can be sure that I will not hesitate to contact him or the Stuckey Firm again should I need professional legal advice from a law firm that genuinely cares about their clients.”

Personal Injury Cases We Handle How Were You Injured?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may have options. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases and can help you understand what comes next.

Car Accidents

case type media
Car accidents can disrupt daily life in an instant, leaving questions about medical care, insurance, and next steps. Clear guidance early on can make a meaningful difference.

Truck Accidents

case type media
Truck accidents often involve commercial operations, layered responsibility, and heightened risk. These cases demand careful investigation and an understanding of how large systems fail.

Motorcycle Accidents

case type media
Motorcycle accidents frequently come with serious injuries and unfair assumptions. Facts, not perceptions, should determine responsibility when preventable harm occurs.

Worksite Injuries

case type media
Worksite injuries can jeopardize both physical health and financial stability. When safety breaks down, knowing your rights becomes critical.

Medical Malpractice

case type media
Medical malpractice cases focus on whether accepted standards of care were followed. When preventable medical errors cause harm, accountability matters.

Premises Liability

case type media
Premises liability cases examine whether property conditions created unnecessary risk. When hazards are ignored and injuries result, responsibility does not rest with the person who was hurt.

Our Process

Step 1 of 6
We Get to Know You

Every case starts with a conversation. We listen to what happened, how it has affected your life, and what you are worried about right now. Understanding your situation helps us figure out the best path forward.

Get You the Medical Care You Need

Your health comes first. If you need help finding the right doctors or dealing with medical bills, we can assist so you can focus on getting better instead of stressing about paperwork.

Collect Medical Records & Bills

Once your health has improved, we order your medical records and bills to accurately assess what you have lost.

Prepare the Demand Package

We put together a clear summary of what happened, who was responsible, and how the injury has affected your life. This information is shared with the insurance company to explain why compensation is owed.

Begin Negotiating

Once the insurance company responds, the back and forth begins. We handle all communication and push back against low-ball settlement offers, keeping you updated and involved along the way.

Reach Settlement or Win Verdict

Some cases end with a settlement. Others need to be decided in court. Either way, we explain your options in plain language and help you decide what makes sense for you before anything moves forward.

The primary harm in this case was residual scarring and deformity as a result of the injury. Unfortunately, Ohio has a cap of $250,000 for non-economic damages, with no exceptions, for cases against political subdivisions. Through a comprehensive case work up and well versed arguments presenting a real threat to challenging the constitutionality of caps on damages, we were able to negotiate a higher settlement than what was provided under the law.

Frequently Asked Questions Guiding You With Clear, Honest Answers

What types of injury cases does The Stuckey Firm handle?

We handle injury claims involving car and truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, worksite injuries, defective products, and medical malpractice.

What should I do after an accident to protect my claim?

Get medical care, document what happened, and avoid speaking with insurance companies alone. Early guidance can protect evidence and prevent mistakes.

What kind of compensation might be available in my case?

Compensation may include medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, future care needs, and long-term limitations, depending on injury severity.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

There is no upfront cost. We handle most cases on a contingency fee, meaning you only pay if we recover compensation for you.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Deadlines depend on the type of case and where it happened. Speaking with an attorney early helps ensure your claim stays protected.

Will my case go to trial?

Many cases settle, but we prepare every claim with trial readiness. That leverage helps protect your value if the insurer refuses fair terms.
