Sexual abuse, especially when the victim is a child, can leave victims with a lifetime of emotional trauma. We understand that these instances of abuse cause emotional damage, as well as the obvious physical harm. Many abuse victims are left dealing with complicated, difficult feelings of confusion, depression, anger and shame as they attempt to rebuild their lives. Many are embarrassed or ashamed to admit that they have been the victims of abuse. At the Fitch Law Firm, we know that no amount of money can ever make up for the trauma sexual abuse victims have experienced. However, we also know that the offenders must be held accountable, and the victims must receive some measure of justice. Making sure that the abusers are held legally responsible can help victims move toward a place of healing. Call 855-LAW-OHIO today to consult with our compassionate, experienced professionals who know how to deal with sexual abuse lawsuits and can help you.

Amputations or the loss of limbs are one of the more devastating outcomes of an accident. Not only do victims typically experience financial and emotional burdens, they also have to face a drastically different life without an essential body part. According to the Amputee Coalition, nearly 2 million people in the US live with limb loss, and some 45 percent of these cases were caused by trauma. Amputations do not come cheap: in 2009 alone, the total hospital costs associated with amputations reached over $8.3 billion. For amputation injury victims and their families, getting justice and compensation is important. This can greatly help them with medical bills, rehabilitation, and getting back on track with their lives. #thefitchlawfirm #accidentlawyer #ohio THEFITCHLAWFIRM.COM Columbus Amputation Accident Lawyers | The Fitch Law Firm

There are more than 100,000 medical devices on the market today in the United States. High-tech medical devices have helped revolutionize modern medicine, greatly improving the quality of care available to patients. However, when they are defective, the consequences can be life-altering. Thousands of people are injured or killed each year due to the effects of faulty medical devices. We all know that manufacturers never create devices with the intention of hurting patients. However, that doesn’t remove the responsibility they have when a device does hurt a patient. Some medical device manufacturers, instead of recalling a faulty device, will try to cover up a problem and deny there are any problems with their device. When a medical device is found to be defective, the manufacturer must inform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the public about the flawed device, as well as any potential risks the product may pose. #thefitchlawfirm #Ohio #accidentlawyer THEFITCHLAWFIRM.COM Columbus Bad Medical Devices Lawyers | The Fitch Law Firm

Knowing your basic legal rights when involved in an accident is crucial in order to negotiate and get fair compensation, whether through a settlement or lawsuit. Ohio is an at-fault state, which means victims must contact the at-fault driver’s insurance provider with a demand for damages. Keep in mind that an adverse insurance company has no duty to be “fair” or act “in good faith” toward an accident victim. Insurance companies are for-profit businesses and will save their own money whenever possible. That is why you have to fight for your rights when an at-fault driver injures you or damages your vehicle. #thefitchlawfirm #lawyer #Ohio THEFITCHLAWFIRM.COM Auto Accident Victim Rights in Ohio
