Before your next weekend trip, check your policy for Uninsured Motorist coverage. Many Ohio riders are underinsured without realizing it, leaving them at risk if a driver without insurance hits them.

We’ve spent 50+ years helping families navigate the aftermath of accidents. We’d rather help you stay safe and protected.

Ride smart, stay visible, and know we’re here if you need us.

When a high-risk patient is emergency-transported to a major medical center, every second matters. We expect immediate action, but when a communication breakdown occurs, the consequences can be utterly heartbreaking.

We are proud to share a hard-fought $1.25 million wrongful death settlement secured by Attorney Craig McLaughlin and his team in the Court of Claims. ⚖️🏛️

This tragic matter involved a high-risk pregnant mother who was transported by helicopter from a rural hospital for specialized, life-saving care. Despite the emergency transfer, the specialist was not notified of her arrival for nearly three hours. Due to this severe delay in treatment, our client suffered an eclamptic seizure and passed away.

Attorney Craig McLaughlin waged a relentless legal battle spanning more than six years to hold the medical center accountable:
✔️The Trial: In the Court of Claims, the judge agreed that the medical center breached the standard of care but ruled against the family on the issue of proximate cause.
✔️The Appeal: Refusing to accept this outcome, Craig appealed to the Tenth District Court of Appeals. The appellate court reversed the trial decision, rightfully finding that the negligence was indeed the proximate cause of death.
✔️The Resolution: Following this major appellate victory, the case was successfully settled for $1.25 million.

This case stands as a reminder that true advocacy means never giving up, no matter how long the road or how powerful the institution. 💪🛡️ Craig McLaughlin's dedication ensured that our client's story was heard and that justice was served.

Our deepest thoughts remain with our client's family, and we hope this hard-won resolution brings them a sense of closure. 🕊️❤️

When an auto accident leads to lasting injuries, the fight for fair compensation often doesn't end with the at-fault driver's insurance policy. Sometimes, the real challenge, and the real victory, comes from knowing how to maximize your own underinsured motorist coverage. 🛡️⚖️

We are pleased to announce a $271,000 recovery secured by Attorney Kevin Lenson for a client involved in a serious auto accident. Our client faced a difficult path ahead: shoulder surgery, the medical necessity of future surgeries, and a significant amount of time missed from work.

It is easy to focus only on the immediate bills, but at Elk + Elk, we know that a true settlement must account for your future as well. Kevin’s deep knowledge of insurance law allowed him to secure this substantial recovery by effectively leveraging our client's underinsured motorist policy. This ensures that as our client continues to heal and faces upcoming medical procedures, the financial stress of the accident, and the lost time at work, won't stand in the way of their recovery.

We are proud of Kevin for his foresight and dedication in securing a result that truly looks out for the client's long-term health and stability.
