Cincinnati Personal Injury Attorney Uses Facebook To Educate

Friday, September 30th, 2011

As a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer I really enjoy my presence on facebook. If you have seen any of my posts or pages I hope in some way they have either educated you , informed you or at least made you smile.

My first experience was with my personal page for Tony Castelli A lot of that page is anything that happens to interest me . You will also see a lot of youtube videos. There are some really quirky ones like James Brown duet with Pavorati.

Then I created a business page or what used to be called a fan page. This focuses on the fact that I am a Cincinnati personal injury accident lawyer
The actual url for that page is http://www.facebook.com/cincinnati.injuryattorney On that page I focus more on legal issues that face car accident and other personal injury victims. I try to give some educational information as well as provide some limited information about myself. I try not to beat people over the head with I’m a lawyer and you should hire me. I try to educate and inform . But I surely want you to know that I’m happy to answer any questions in my area of personal injury law. And if it’s not my area I’m glad to point you in the right direction.

The Ohio Motorcycle safety awarenesss and injury help of Ohio group is a page I really enjoy. I focus on motorcycle safety tips. With so many resources on the internet, especially you tube, it’s not that hard to provide some content that directly relates to motorcycle safety. Plus I can keep in touch with the motorcycle community where I have made so many friends from Jimmy Kay to the Chrome Divas and everyone in between . I only wish I had more time to spend creating content.

My latest venture is a facebook page for my radio show Cincinnati Biker Life. It was a lot of fun to create a welcome page for Cincinnati Biker Life where you can actually go and internet stream Cincinnati Biker Life live The actual url for Cincinnati Biker Life is http://www.facebook.com/CincinnatiBikerLife

All my listeners are welcome to come and post about their events, rides , experience, questions , requests. In fact it’s not limited to listeners. Anyone with something connected to the Greater Cincinnati motorcycle community is welcome to post . This radio show has been so enjoyable because of the many guests I have met since starting the show . Everyone has been an absolute joy to know and interview on Cincinnati Biker Life Radio.

So yes I’m a bit of a facebook junkie. And certainly an internet junkie. There is just so much information to exchange. I’ve met so may unique people. Sometimes the internet can be a bit removed from the real person But with acquaintances coming on Cincinnati biker life, with a handshake or a hug they soon are counted by me as a friend. I hope they see me the same way.

Thank you to everyone one of my facebook friends and the many folks that have joined my group or liked one of my facebook pages. I wish I could get to know each of you a little better. I invite you to comment or suggest how I can make the experience better for you.

Cincinnati Car Truck Motorcycle Accident News and Commentary

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Cincinnati Car Truck Motorcycle Accident news and commentary is to give you the inside legal look that is not normally reported in the press. Hopefully it will answer some of your questions left unanswered by the original article. If not I welcome you to call me to get educated on the law.

Car Driver going 154 MPH rear ends a disabled vehicle and kills a man.

Here is a link to a case involving a wrongful death. The man was sentenced to jail for negligently driving and killing anoter human being. But what happened to the family of the deceased. This is called a wrongful death in civil law and the personal representative should make a claim against the insurance proceeds and the personal assets of the negligent driver if there are any. Many time insurance will fight you about the value of a life. They are at times so crass as to suggest there should be no award as it will not bring the deceased back. This is ludicrous, but time and again I had to fight big insurance to help a widow get financially compensated so she could support herself and/or help raise her children.

How Much is My Personal Injury Pain and Suffering Worth

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Personal injury pain and suffering calculator even by the best personal injury lawyer is both science and art. By science I mean the experience of a  good personal injury lawyer that has many settlements to their credit, has researched many settlements, and gone to trial on many cases.

But no matter how similar your case may be to ones that I have resolved there is always a difference. You make all the difference in the world. There are many factors about you, and how you have dealt with your injury  that can increase or decrease the value of your settlement

The second wild card is the jury . Every jury is different. Some may be more disposed to awarding more money others less. Most cases do not go to a jury. But the ultimate personal injury pain and suffering settlement calculator is the potential jury. Each side needs to ask what would a jury award in this type of case.

An  experienced personal injury  trial lawyer should be able to guide you on a low end and high end range. The real question is how much money is going to go into your pocket at the end of the day after your bills, case expenses, and attorney fees have been paid. Given the amount of money your trial may cost,  in many cases I work up the case and push it close to trial. But then advise settlement because I strongly believe I can put more money in your pocket that way, given the expenses of a full blown trial.

Some clients make one of two mistakes in thinking about the value of their case. Watch this video to learn what the two biggest mistakes on personal injury accident settlement worth.

Call me today personal injury lawyer Anthony Castelli to discuss what your case may be worth 1-800-447-6549 No cost No obligation

Cincinnati Child Injury Lawyer On Protecting Your Child

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Do you know what to do if your child was injured in a car accident caused by the fault of you neighbor’s child?

This scenario is played out over and over again.  Your child is coming home from a school dance and the driver causes an auto accident and your child is injured. Or your child is going to the movie on Saturday night and their boyfriend from school is driving and because of inattention causes a car crash causing your child an injury. Or your child gets a dog bite from a neighbor’s dog.

Here are the steps you may want to take to your protect your child after they were hurt in an accident (click).

There are many other circumstances were you child could be injured or heaven forbid even caused death. It’s one thing to pick up the pieces after an injury or death. But possibly you could intervene ahead of the injury and prevent it from happening. Here’s a child safety resource link I created on protecting your child from injury.

I did not recreate the wheel with this page. But  as an email subscriber to www.safekids.com and www.safekids.org I thought I would share their resources with you. They touch on just about every aspect of where your child can be injured and how to prevent it.

There’s resources on preventing burn injury, auto injury, water injury , fire safety, sports injury, just about any thing you can think of and more importantly those things you don’t think of.  There are many places and many ways apparently supposedly safe toys or products can cause injury.It’s daunting to realize how many ways your child could be injured . I suggest you read an article every week at least.

If you feel you need help with a child injury or have questions I welcome you to call me Anthony Castelli a Cincinnati child injury lawyer at 1-800-447-6549 for a no cost consultation.

Cincinnati Car Accident Lawyer on Ohio Jury Verdicts

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

One way to learn the value of your car accident injury is to research how much is my case worth. Here are a couple of summaries of car accident injury cases in Ohio where a jury returned an actual verdict. Although helpful it is no substitute for an experienced car accident lawyer.

Motorcylist Recovers $100,000

An Ohio jury awarded $117,000 to a motorcycle rider. The motorcycle was struck from the side when a truck driver blew through a stop sign. This was the negligence alleged. The motorcycle truck accident injury was a fractured toe leg contusion and rotator cuff injury to his shoulder. This required surgery to repair the rotator cuff and some arthritis. There was $6000 in wage loss and $23000 in medical expenses and some permanent injury as well as pain and suffering.

The motor vehicle operator only had $25,000 of liability coverage so the claim was brought against Allstate insurance company as the motorcyclist had underinsured motorist coverage with them in the amount of $100,000. Thus the biker with the accident injury and pain and suffering was able to recover another $75,000 for the insurance settlement.

Car accidents and Dental Teeth Injury by Cincinnati Lawyer

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

Although the title of this article is car accidents and dental teeth injury by Cincinnati lawyer this story is about a great oral maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Michael B Lee.

If you were in a car accident in Cincinnati , Mason, West Chester or anywhere especially in Ohio and had a dental tooth gum bone injury ( oral maxillofacial injury ) you might want to know one of the best oral surgeons in my judgement in the greater Cincinnati area.

I just reached a settlement in a case of a young girl who suffered a very serious mouth bone gum and teeth dental injury. The primary treating doctor was Dr Michael B Lee, DDS. He was awarded a Doctor of Dental surgery from Indiana State University . He then went on to intern at University of Cincinnati medical School Department of Surgery, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

He went on to be a Senior resident there and then Chief resident from 1980-1981. He has been actively practicing oral maxillofacial surgery since that time. His resume is impressive , as he has published numerous articles , given many presentations, and is on the cutting edge of the latest techniques. But what stands out even more is that he is an excellent doctor that cares deeply about his patients and the results he obtains for them.

The young lady I represented as a car accident lawyer had as Dr Lee described the following injuries:

Facial fractures including a maxillary fracture that extended into the hard palate along with alveolar ridge fractures. She sustained an avulsion injury with loss of teeth #5, 6,,8,9 and #7 tooth was grossly displaced and subluxated as was #10 tooth.

Dr Lee performed multiple procedures including debridement, bone grafting, reconstruction of the maxilla and dental implants so that a prosthesis of all the new teeth could be fitted. He concluded that she would return to normal masticatory function but had a life altering injury that would require future treatment due to the fact that the fixtures are not capable of lasting throughout her long expected life.

The 4 page report Dr Michael Lee provided to me was detailed and accurate. He explained all of her dental injury, diagnosis , prognosis and treatment in vivid and compelling and easily understandable detail. Everything he stated was fully documented. This is in contrast to some doctors that provide but a copy of their records with little explanation.

Prior to this car accident injury this young lady had perfect teeth after years of braces. She was fortunate that she got to Dr Lee. He was able to put her back together so that her appearance and function of the prosthetic teeth made her just a beautiful as before.

I know she is very grateful to Dr Lee for the excellent medical care he gave her and the excellent result he achieved. No one likes to see anyone have a serious car accident injury. If you do though I highly recommend you seek the medical services of Dr Lee. His staff is also certainly top notch and went beyond the call of duty to provide us a very necessary piece of evidence. But that’s another story.
