Personal Injury Lawyer in Canton, Ohio

Call the Law Offices of James R. Vaughn at 330-497-9700

When you are injured due to someone else's negligence, an insurance company will generally offer you the least amount of compensation possible -- often not enough to cover basic medical expenses. Insurance is a business. The job is simple enough: Get you to settle as quickly and cheaply as possible. Before you sign anything after an injury, talk to an experienced lawyer who knows the law and who can tell you what is fair and reasonable in your circumstances.

For a free initial consultation, call us at 330-497-9700 in Canton or at 866-604-1138 toll free. You may also contact us by e-mail. If your injury requires us to visit you in your home or in a hospital, please let us know.

Firm founder James R. Vaughn worked as in-house counsel for insurance companies for many years. Our firm understands how car accidents and other accidents are handled and evaluated by insurance companies. We provide aggressive, effective representation in negotiations and we are prepared to take your case to trial in an effort to obtain full and fair compensation.

Our firm represents clients injured in a wide variety of accidents, including:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and other types of accidents involving a motor vehicle.
• Premises Liability/Slip and Falls: Slip and falls involving negligence, including falls that occur while inside retail stories, and on walkways and parking lots improperly maintained.
• Dog Bites: Ohio is a strict liability state, which means the owner is responsible for injuries caused by his or her pet. This liability extends to the dog's keeper (the person in physical control of the dog at the time of the attack) and harborer (the person in possession and control of the premises where the dog lives).
• Products Liability: Toxic tort/hazardous substance litigation, medical device litigation, work-related injuries involving a piece of equipment, and harmful pharmaceuticals.

After an accident, you incur substantial medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The insurance company's goal is to get you to settle for as little as possible. Our goal is the opposite: We work to ensure that you get maximum compensation for your injuries.
