At Perantinides & Nolan, we proudly offer the services of some of the leading personal injury attorneys in Ohio. In its broadest definition, personal injury law encompasses many of our specific areas of practice, including automobile accident, medical malpractice, product liability, birth injury, and brain injury cases. The nature of the injury can be physical, emotional, or both. What is essential to all personal injury cases is the ability to demonstrate that someone else is at fault for the injury, whether through an act of negligence or deliberately inappropriate behavior. Once this fault is established, the responsible party becomes either partially or fully responsible for the emotional and financial hardships incurred by the injured party. Depending on the circumstances of the case, the injured party may be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering, loss of wages, permanent disability, emotional trauma, and other damages.

Your health is your most precious and irreplaceable asset. When you place your health in the care of medical professionals, you are essentially trusting them with your most priceless possession. In order to ensure that this trust is respected, health care providers are both legally and ethically bound to a rigorous standard of treatment that must be met every time they render their services. The failure to meet this standard, either accidentally or willfully, constitutes medical malpractice. Our attorneys in Akron, Ohio are experienced in all areas of medical malpractice law, having successfully tried numerous cases and achieved consistently superior results on behalf of their clients.

There is nothing more difficult and painful than losing a loved one, especially when that loss is the result of someone else's negligent or wrongful actions. If you have recently experienced such a loss, our wrongful death attorneys in Akron, Ohio can help you and your family in your time of grief. By filing a wrongful death suit, your family may be eligible for financial compensation, which can help to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral costs. In some cases, you may also be compensated for the victim’s suffering, as well as for your own mental anguish and loss of companionship. In addition, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that the parties responsible for the death of your loved one were made to answer for their negligence.

Accidents happen every day to virtually everybody. Fortunately, most of these accidents are minor and without serious or lasting consequence. When a major accident does occur, however, the results can be devastating, expensive, and even deadly. When such accidents occur due to someone else’s negligent or wrongful actions, there may be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. At Perantinides & Nolan in Akron, Ohio our personal injury attorneys have helped hundreds of accident victims obtain fair and just compensation for the damages they have suffered.

If you have suffered an injury due to a defective product, our attorneys in Akron, Ohio may be able to help you obtain compensation under the law of product liability.  When you buy a product, you place a certain implicit trust in the designer, manufacturer, and seller of that product.  This law protects the rights of consumers by holding manufacturers and suppliers potentially liable for any injuries that result from flaws in the design, manufacture, or marketing of a product. Depending on the type of defect, a product liability suit can be brought against anyone involved in the creation or sale of the product, including the designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer. As long as the product was at one point “sold” during the normal course of business, the suit can be filed on behalf of anyone who was injured by the product, not simply the legal owner.
