I am pleased to announce a recent jury verdict by this Cincinnati personal injury attorney against an Allstate insured. Allstate offerred $4907 to settle the case against a demand of $14,000.00. The claim was for cervical strain "whiplash" as well as traumatic arthritis
The jury verdict was $80,000.00.(Of course all cases are different and different results can occur}This result may be the exception in this kind of case especially for Hamilton County, although I believe as the makeup of juries changes higher verdicts will result
Some attorneys might not take cases against Allstate since they are seen as often making low offers. Thus to get Allstate to pay fair compensation, you may have to take the right case to trial. Cincinnati personal injury attorney, Anthony Castelli will take all the righteous Allstate cases he can and will take them to trial if necessary if the claim merits.
Anthony Castelli welcomes referrals from other attorneys and honors associate counsel fees within the parameters of the code of professional responsibility.
If you have been injured and think you are being treated unfairly by Allstate or any insurance company Call attorney Anthony Castelli for a free consultation.

Six Keys To Choosing A Great Personal Injury Attorney
Choosing the right personal injury attorney is not difficult if you know the right questions to ask. You can start your search on the internet with the words "personal injury attorney" plus your location.
This will provide you several names of local attorneys plus some sites that "refer attorneys" or are otherwise paid adds. Call or email 3-5 attorneys and ask them to answer the following questions:
1. How many personal injury cases have you tried in front of juries?
2. What kind of experts have you hired for your clients?
3. What % of your income comes from personal injury cases?
4. Have you handled cases similar to my injury? How many and with what results?
5. Are you willing to advance expenses of litigation?
6. Are you a mamber of any attorney organizations that primarily help injury victims?
The answers to these questions should give you a good idea if the attorney is an experienced and succesful personal injury attorney.
You want an attorney who is willing to and has gone to trial. Insurance companies know who is willing to go to trial. Attorneys that have not tried jury cases are not likely to command the respect to get you a fair offer.
If the attorney is not willing to advance expenses then you will be stuck advancing them yourself and you may not be in a position to do so. If that is the case then your case will have to be settled, likely cheaply.
With the answers to these questions in hand you are ready to sit down in the attorney's office and decide, after meeting the attorney, if this is a person you can have confidence in to get you full and fair compensation for your injury.
