Why these claims take time (and shouldn't be rushed)
A simple soft-tissue case typically resolves in 6 to 9 months. Cases involving surgery often take more than a year because recovery and rehabilitation take longer. Disputed-liability cases that require a lawsuit can take 3 to 4 years. Property damage usually resolves quickly and upfront; the injury claim happens on the backend, after the records are in.
-
Treatment & recovery
2 to 5 monthsWe can't properly value an injury claim until treatment is complete or the injury has stabilized. Surgery cases run longer because rehabilitation does. Settling before this stage usually leaves future medical costs uncovered.
-
Medical records & evidence
1 to 2 monthsWe pull medical records directly from clinics and hospitals, not patient portals. Direct records show the full picture, good and bad, so nothing surprises us at the demand stage.
-
Demand & negotiation
1 to 2 monthsOnce records are in, we identify every available insurance policy, value the claim against the documented injuries, and present a demand. Most carriers respond with an offer or counter.
-
Settlement or lawsuit
VariesMost claims resolve in negotiation. When liability is disputed or the offer is far below the documented value, we file suit. Litigation can stretch the timeline to 3 to 4 years, but it often unlocks a much better recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Cincinnati?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. We only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free.
How long does a personal injury case take in Ohio?
It depends on complexity. Simple claims with clear liability may settle in a few months. Cases involving disputed liability or severe injuries can take one to three years. We work to resolve cases efficiently while maximizing your recovery.
What is Ohio's statute of limitations for personal injury?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (O.R.C. § 2305.10). Medical malpractice has a one-year statute. Wrongful death is two years. Do not wait to call.
What types of personal injury cases does Gregory S. Young Co. handle?
We handle virtually every type of negligence claim — car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, rideshare accidents (Uber/Lyft), medical malpractice, birth injuries, nursing home abuse, workplace and construction accidents, premises liability, slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, elevator and escalator accidents, product liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. If you were hurt due to someone else's negligence, call us.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may be entitled to recover medical bills (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses you have sustained. Our attorneys calculate the full value of your claim — including damages you may not have considered — to pursue the maximum recovery.
