The Columbus injury attorneys of Mularski, Bonham, Dittmer & Phillips, LLC get asked this question quite often in our personal injury practice.  Clients contact us anxious about extensive property damages they have suffered—worried that they will not be able to take legal action for repairs or replacement.

We tell people that Ohio laws protect not only their physical well being and mental faculties, but also their personal property.  Personal property is generally defined as all property other than real estate:

• Your home
• Your car
• Your motorcycle
• Your boat

Do not hesitate to take legal action to protect your rights and your property.  Our Columbus personal injury attorneys have represented many claims for property damages over the years—and we know that judges and juries can and will sympathize with your need for just compensation for your losses.
Personal Injury – Protecting Your Reputation & Career

In some personal injury cases there is something different at stake than property damage or serious bodily injuries.  Sometimes personal injury claims are brought for people seeking to protect their reputation and careers.

Slander and libel are common instances of personal injury where the victim has incurred harm due to someone else’s defamation of their character:

• Publishing or publicly making false statements
• Insubstantial implications of criminal activity
• Comments about sexual practices
• Rumors that cause damage to your career

These offenses are illegal and punishable under Ohio state personal injury laws.  A personal injury attorney can help you assess the complicated value of the damage done to your reputation and career and help you fight to clear your good name.
