    Serious Injuries Require Serious Legal Strategy

    Not every personal injury case is straightforward. When injuries are severe — fractures, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, or permanent disability – the legal and medical complexity increases significantly. These cases require expert witnesses, detailed medical documentation, and attorneys who understand how to quantify long-term losses.

    Our team works with physicians, economists, and accident reconstruction specialists to make sure no part of your damages goes unaccounted for. That includes future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and the non-economic toll that injuries take on your quality of life.

    Laura H.
    When our mother was hospitalized for an accident, we were unprepared for the turn of events which would befall our family. Following her hospitalization, a series of negligent acts by the hospital staff, unrelated to her accident, led to our mother’s quickly declining health. Due to the mounting medical expenses, we sought legal assistance. Several attorneys had been recommended to us, including Andy List. We felt very fortunate that Andy chose to help us. He assembled a team of experts for our case.
    Since we had not experienced it before, navigating the legal process was initially very intimidating for us. Andy patiently listened to our concerns and offered the time and consideration needed to understand our situation. Throughout the process, he explained the legal system in a way that was understandable to us. Although our mother’s medical situation was stressful, Andy guided us and treated us with kindness and dignity.
    Thanks to Andy and his team, the legal outcome was in our favor. Our family is so grateful. Our mother continues to recover and the financial burden has been lifted. Andy renewed our faith that the legal system can be fair and equitable. I highly recommend Andy and his team to anyone needing legal assistance.

    -Laura H.
    Vern J.
    Today is a gift…largely due to Andy List and his team. After a sequence of errors was made by the hospital, which resulted in a stroke, I sustained ongoing physical and cognitive deficits. These deficits required months of hospitalization, followed by ongoing therapy. As we started to receive medical bills from the hospital, we questioned the hospital regarding their error. The hospital denied any responsibility for their multiple errors. We knew how difficult and intimidating it was to challenge such a large medical institution, so we began to search for law firms. Andy List came highly recommended. We are so fortunate and grateful to have Andy List and his colleagues represent us. Andy and his team have a true compassion for their clients. They are incredibly knowledgeable, communicative and efficient. Thanks to Andy and his team we received a significant settlement, which absolutely would not have happened without them. I would highly recommend Andy List and his colleagues to anyone who is in a medical malpractice situation.

    Our son suffers substantial disabilities, and his condition has resulted in discrimination. We were pleased to consult with Clark, Perdue & List on the complex issues that impact our son's quality of life and his ability to contribute to the community. The attorneys are professional, knowledgable, and willing to answer our many questions, address our concerns, and help us navigate a very challenging path. I will be seeking their counsel in the future.

    Wonderful experience. Professional, caring, and top notch firm.
    Jasmine B.
    I was involved in a head on collision on the day of my 19th birthday and my high school graduation. When someone first brought up getting a lawyer I was very hesitant, but after working with Julie and Andrew all my nerves went away. They heard everything I had to say, and if I ever had any questions, big or little they would answer them for me. They care deeply about the individuals they are representing. I would recommend them to anyone!
    Sarah A.
    After the loss of my father, my mother faced numerous long-term care issues. The lawyers at Clark, Perdue, and List helped us through the process. They were efficient and thorough in helping us navigate issues and situations we had never previously encountered. I highly recommend the lawyers at Clark, Perdue, and List.
    Jamie H.
    I have been associated with this wonderful firm for several years and I cannot express enough the wonderful service we received. The cases were painful at best, but the passion and compassion shown by this firm is over the top. They care about you as a client; they care about your case; they care about the outcome; and they care about your involvement in the case. One of the most important things I have found is they keep you informed and always have the time to speak with you regarding the case. Thanks for the wonderful representation over the years.
    Dorothy C.
    I have known the members of the Law Firm for over 15 years.
    Years ago, my elderly mother-in-law needed legal advice when she felt she had not been properly treated in a medical sense. The family wasn't sure what to do to resolve this matter.
    It was then that I met with Andy List, who gave us the guidance we desperately needed, which in turn, helped to put our emotions in perspective.
    The matter was resolved in a positive manner, which makes me suggest Clark, Perdue &List to others in need of proper and thorough legal assistance. I still keep in touch with them to this day, for they are very true to what they advertise to be; and will always be respected by our family.
    Shelly H.
    Back in 1989 I was involved in a life threatening auto accident while on my way to school. While I was still in the hospital, my parents met with Dale Perdue and hired his law firm to take my case. Mr. Perdue and the rest of his staff were so helpful to me, as well as, my family during this difficult time. They guided us through the process and were always happy to help us with any questions or concerns. In 2011, my husband was in a life threatening auto accident. While I was sitting in the hospital wondering what to do, I thought, “Call Dale”. Within a few hours, he was sitting by my side. Once again, he walked me and my husband through another very difficult time. Dale, Pam, and the rest of his staff have been a very big part of my life and have always felt like an extended part of my family. I have recommended Dale and his staff to friends through the years and will continue to do so.
    Don F.
    It was with some reluctance that I began the process of considering the pursuit of a wrongful death claim against a pharmaceutical company on behalf of my Mother's estate. I was not sure how to proceed. Thus I began the process of looking at various web sites for various legal firms, and followed that with several phone calls. When I called Clark, Perdue and List Co, LPA I was treaded with a kindness, courtesy, and professionalism that seemed to be a cut above the rest. Linda, the Paralegal I most frequently communicated with had exceptional legal knowledge and skill. She had the ability to explain in an extremely clear manner the answers to all my many questions. The staff was very thorough in obtaining all the records and information needed to support the claim.
    The lawyer I dealt with, Andrew List, certainly went above and beyond the call of duty in effort and completion of meeting all the requirements and deadlines the court placed on this type of claim. I was frequently updated regarding the process of the case.
    Clark, Perdue and List Co, LPA far exceeded my expectations in bringing to a successful closure this case. It is with great confidence and respect that I would highly recommend this legal firm.
    Diane S.
    When my mother fell and broke her shoulder a few years ago, my sister and I entrusted her rehabilitation to a local nursing home. Unfortunately, one of the employees at the facility was negligent in my mother’s care and caused further injury to her shoulder, causing her to return to the hospital for further surgery. When I learned that an investigator from the Attorney General’s office recommended that criminal charges be pressed against the individual, I knew that I also needed to pursue the matter civilly to ensure that my mother was compensated for the injuries caused by that negligent employee. A friend of mine recommended Andy List, and from my first telephone conference with him, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Andy took care of everything to prepare this case for a potential trial against the individual and the facility, and then acted as a skillful negotiator in obtaining a favorable settlement for my mother. I am forever grateful to Andy and his assistant Linda for helping our family through this very difficult time.

    How Personal Injury Claims Work in Ohio

    Ohio personal injury law allows injured people to seek compensation from any party whose negligence caused their harm — whether that’s a driver, a property owner, an employer, or a manufacturer. The standard of proof is negligence: showing that the other party had a duty of care, breached it, and that breach directly caused your injuries.

    Ohio operates under a comparative fault system, which means your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially responsible. Insurance companies often try to inflate a victim’s share of fault specifically to reduce their payout. An experienced attorney ensures that your actual level of responsibility — not an inflated version of it — is what gets applied to your case.

    The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Ohio is generally two years from the date of injury. While two years sounds like a long time, building a strong case takes time, and acting early is always the better move.

    Why Clark, Perdue & List

    We’re not a volume shop. We don’t take every case that walks through the door just to settle it fast for less than it’s worth. When we take your case, we’re committed to pursuing the full and fair value of your claim — and that means going to trial if necessary.

    Our clients get direct access to experienced attorneys, regular updates on their cases, and a team that treats their injury with the seriousness it deserves. That’s been our approach since 1986, and it hasn’t changed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of accidents qualify as personal injury cases near East Side Columbus?

    Any accident caused by another person’s or entity’s negligence can form the basis of a personal injury claim. This includes car crashes, slip-and-falls, dog bites, defective products, premises liability incidents, and more. A free consultation will tell you quickly whether your situation qualifies.

    Should I talk to the insurance company before calling an attorney?

    No. Insurance adjusters are trained to gather information that reduces your claim. Speak with an attorney first — it costs you nothing and protects you significantly.

    What if I were partially at fault for my accident?

    Ohio’s comparative fault rules mean you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility, as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. An attorney helps ensure your fault percentage isn’t overstated by the other side.

    What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

    You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, future lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and, in some cases, punitive damages against particularly reckless defendants.

    How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Ohio?

    Generally, two years from the date of injury. Exceptions exist for certain defendants and circumstances, so it’s best to consult an attorney as early as possible.
