“Without a doubt the biggest mistake you can make is trying to handle an accident without a personal injury lawyer,” said Jeff Heller, attorney at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy. “Whether you realize it or not, insurance companies are designed to take advantage of you. Without a lawyer on your side, that is exactly what they will do.”
Mr. Heller firmly believes in the right to trial by jury and in his career, he has tired more than 25 cases to a jury verdict. In the past three years alone, he has obtained more than $3 million in jury verdicts. Mr. Heller frequently represents traumatic brain injury survivors in a wide range of cases. Including medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, premises liability and construction defect cases.
He has dedicated his career to representing victims of crime and negligence, first as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Cuyahoga County, where he prosecuted cases ranging from drug possession to rape and murder, and now as a personal injury attorney.
