Did You Know

In 1852 Ohio was the first state to enact laws protecting working women.

50% of the United States population lives within a 500 mile radius of Columbus.

When you retain Friedman, Domiano & Smith as your law firm, you get much more than the service of just one lawyer. You also receive a case manager and paralegal assisting your case.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that almost half of all medical malpractice lawsuits filed in the US are brought against surgeons.

Compared with other vehicle types, utility vehicles experience the highest rollover rates in injuries that cause injury or death.

Negligence is a failure to use ordinary care. Ordinary care means that each person is required to use the care that any reasonably careful person would use under the same circumstances to avoid injury.

In a civil case, a lawyer must prove the injured person's claim by a "preponderance of the evidence." This means that the lawyer has to prove that the injured person has the greater weight of evidence.

When you are involved in a car accident, you are allowed to choose your own repair shop under Ohio law. The insurance company may suggest a shop but cannot force you to accept its recommendation.

Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission by a health care provider in which the care provided does not meet the accepted standards of its specialty.

In Ohio it is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.

- Margaret F.

Doctors aren’t always right, and they certainly got it wrong in my case when they dismissed and ignored my symptoms. When my heart attack was left untreated, the doctors’ mistakes nearly killed me. I’m glad I turned to Friedman, Domiano & Smith. Your team guided me through this legal battle and helped me get restitution.

- Marshelle Patterson

A car turned right in front of my motorcycle causing an unavoidable accident. When the driver’s insurance company rushed to offer a settlement, I wasn’t sure what to do. The lawyers at Friedman, Domiano & Smith advised me of my rights and were able to obtain more extensive compensation for my injuries. Thank you for your guidance and kindness during an overwhelming experience.

- Jerry Bound

Unsafe conditions at my workplace caused a brick wall to collapse leaving me injured and unable to return to work. Worker’s Compensation didn’t even come close to covering my losses. Your team at Friedman, Domiano & Smith went above and beyond to help me attain compensation beyond what Workers Compensation paid.
