Car Accidents: Car accidents may be caused by distracted driving, fatigued driving, drunk driving, unsafe maneuvers, or unsafe road conditions or design. We will take a close look at what happened and who was responsible. If the negligence of another driver or someone else caused your accident, you may be entitled to money for your injuries, including medical bills, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. While you focus on healing and recovering, we will fight for fair compensation.
Wrongful Death
Injury cases or wrongful death cases caused by a drunk driver are the most upsetting and anger-provoking cases we deal with on a day-to-day basis. Throughout the world, drunk drivers are causing serious injuries or fatal injuries to innocent victims, and the victims are left to deal with never-ending medical bills, emotional distress, grief, and the sudden financial problems that surface due to the unfair accident.
Car accidents are stressful events for all of us, but for insurance companies, they are business transactions, with the simple goal of negotiating a settlement and paying out as little as possible in damages. Insurance is a big business, and insurance companies will do everything in their power to minimize claims.
In this video, GBM attorney and Columbus workers compensation lawyer Sydney McLafferty discusses what should you do if you have a worker’s compensation case.
Every personal injury case is as unique as each client, which is why we practice several types of personal injury law, such as car accidents, premises liability (i.e., slip and fall), dog bites, catastrophic injuries and traumatic brain injuries, workplace accidents, social security disability, wrongful death cases, and more.
Property Damage
Once you, the passenger, have been picked up by an Uber vehicle and are in the vehicle, Uber’s insurance policy also covers you up to $1 million in damages. This means there is $1 million in insurance coverage available for bodily injuries and property damage where another party is responsible for an accident.

Social Security Disability
The Social Security Disability program was created to provide assistance to individuals who need money to live due to a disability. Unfortunately, getting benefits is not always a simple or fast process. Most people must hire a lawyer to file an appeal after their claim is denied. Statistically, only about 36 percent of disability claims are approved at the initial level, and more than half (64%) of claims are initially denied.
Dog Bites
GBM Law attorneys represent individuals and families who were harmed by another’s negligence. These cases typically involve cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles, tractor-trailers, dog bites or dangerous products. Whether the injuries were caused by another person, trucking company, business or government agency, our Ohio personal injury attorneys will do everything to ensure the responsible parties are held accountable and our clients’ rights are protected. Some of the cases we take on are cases that other firms have declined, or are otherwise considered challenging. We appreciate the confidence of other attorneys in Ohio that frequently refer cases to us that are outside their expertise, and we welcome the opportunity to assist in those situations so that the client receives the best result possible.
At GBM Law, many of the cases we handle come from other attorneys who we associate with as co-counsel. A co-counsel or division of fee agreement can be beneficial for other personal injury lawyers and licensed Ohio attorneys who work in other areas of law, such as family law, criminal law, estate planning law, or another specialty.
