Akron Personal Injury Attorneys | We Have The Answers
There are situations where many of the large auto insurance companies (think of the ones you see advertising on TV) have insurance coverages that have a lot of exclusions or “holes” in the coverage they provide. It’s important to ask your insurance agent or company about these types of situations if you are often on the road with the potential to be hit by a vehicle. Are you covered under your auto insurance policy? Some companies will cover you while others will not.

One of the largest insurance companies in the world will use a tactic where they will designate an individual as an insured under your auto policy, or as a driver. They will also encourage their insurance agents to list children who are under your policy as drivers rather than insured – because the coverage is watered-down for someone listed as a driver as opposed to being listed as an insured.

At Willis, Willis & Rizzi we have over 35 years of experience in helping clients with the legal side of their personal injury cases in the Akron, Ohio area. Our attorneys and team work hard for our clients to give them every opportunity to make as full a recovery from their injuries as possible. That means we handle the legal aspects of the personal injury case so our clients can focus on their health and recovering from their injuries.
Simultaneously, we devote a significant amount of resources into achieving the largest monetary settlement possible. Unfortunately, the reality in the State of Ohio is that an individual is only required to have $25,000 in automobile insurance coverage. If you have any type of medical bills resulting from injuries sustained in a vehicle collision, $25,000 does not go very far when you consider an emergency room visit, ambulance bill, treating physician, radiology, or even a short hospital stay. And when your health insurance provider pays money out to cover your medical expenses, they will be coming after you to be reimbursed for those expenses.
When dealing with personal injury cases it’s critical to have a law firm that has your best interests at heart. The business model of many personal injury law firms is one of mass volume. Their goal is to bring in as many cases as possible and move those cases in and out as quickly as possible. They have to keep the machine rolling. When the insurance company of the at fault driver who hit you offers a low settlement, and your attorney accepts it because they have to close your case and move on to the next one on their list – this doesn’t help you.
When you are a client of Willis, Willis & Rizzi we understand the reality of personal injury case settlements. Oftentimes in our cases our approach is not how much money can we get you in a settlement, it’s how much money can we save you. This is especially true when we are dealing with a case where there is only minimum amount of insurance coverage available, and you have multiple parties each trying to get their own reimbursement from that available coverage. You need a law firm that will devote their resources to protecting your interests and saving as much money as possible to help you make as full a recovery as possible. A mass marketing, assembly line personal injury law firm is not going to get you the best result.

Willis, Willis and Rizzi separate themselves from the typical personal injury law firms near the Akron, Ohio area in that we do not take on mass volumes of personal injury cases. Other law firms are very aggressive with their marketing to get as many injury cases into their case funnel as possible, it is similar to an assembly line of personal injury cases. And what happens is an individual with a case is signed up quickly, and oftentimes settled very quickly for a low dollar amount which may not even cover your medical bills let alone provide any recovery or compensation. This happens because the law firm has so many cases going on to feed their marketing machine, they can’t take the time required to fully explore your case. They have to get you in and settle quickly so they can move on to their next case.
At Willis, Willis and Rizzi we take a different approach. If we take on your case, we will bring all the resources we have to explore fully the details of your case. We will dig deep to find evidence related to your case as well as look for insurance coverages where none was thought to exist. We handle all of the legal aspects of your injury case and act as a firewall to buffer you from the constant barrage of phone calls and letters from insurance companies and other law firms so that you can focus on getting better.
And that really is our primary concern: seeing our clients make as full a recovery as possible.
Generally speaking, all attorneys work on contingency fees and those fees are standard throughout Ohio. So, if it costs the same – why settle for a law firm that essentially is a fast food restaurant, moving orders in and out as quickly as possible? There are better options!

In personal injury cases, all attorneys work on a contingency fee where the attorney or law firm only gets paid if the case is won or settled and there is a recovery. This fee is very similar from attorney to attorney, or law firm to law firm. So, consider this – if you had your choice to eat out for dinner, and you could go to the best restaurant in town, or the fast food restaurant down the street, and the cost for the meal at the end of the evening would be the same, where would you decide to go?

Roughnecks is a term applied to the gritty men and women who work on gas and oil drilling rigs. As you can imagine many hazards are present in such an environment. At Willis, Willis & Rizzi we have represented roughnecks in personal injury claims when malfunctions have occurred at drilling sites and workers have been injured.
One technique used in drilling is called directional drilling, where a sophisticated drill head that can wobble is used to change the direction of the drill. The control pack that runs the drill head is powered by a lithium ion battery. Lithium ion batteries are very sensitive to heat, and a lot of heat is generated when drilling underground. In a personal injury case we handled, the drill head overheated due to a malfunction, lack of adequate cooling, and negligence by supervisors which resulted in the lithium ion battery exploding underground, and a toxic plume of gas rose up through the well bore and enveloped the nearby workers, causing them to become sick. This injury case involved many facets from product liability relative to the faulty drill head, to a negligence case against the supervisors who were supposed to be monitoring the equipment for signs of overheating.
In a case like the one described above, you need a thoughtful and dedicated personal injury law firm to advocate on your behalf. A firm like Willis, Willis & Rizzi, who are willing to commit resources and time to a single case to get to the truth and win a judgement or settlement on behalf of the injured parties. The majority of personal injury attorneys and law firms take a mass volume approach to their businesses. They are dealing with so many injury cases that they are under pressure to move cases along and push for limited and unfair settlements and don’t put the necessary time and research in to handle a complex case. At Willis, Willis & Rizzi, if we take on your case you can expect to speak directly with one of our attorneys, and we will bring the full weight of our experience, expertise and available resources to represent your interests.
