Why Immigration Status Does Not Affect Injury Claims in Ohio and Kentucky
Undocumented immigrants and non-citizens with temporary visas have legal rights in the United States, including the right to file personal injury claims. Both Ohio and Kentucky uphold the same legal protections for non-citizens, ensuring equal access to justice.
If you’re injured and worried about your rights as a non-citizen, our attorneys can guide you through every step of the claims process. We’ll stand by your side and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Common Challenges Faced When Filing an Injury Claim as a Non-US Citizen
One of the most common roadblocks faced by non-citizens pursuing personal injury claims is difficulty communicating in English. Our firm has extensive experience working with Spanish-speaking clients to overcome language barriers and help them secure the compensation they deserve.
Insurance companies strive to minimize payouts to vulnerable claimants. When dealing with non-citizens, adjusters may even exploit claimants’ fears and anxiety about their immigration status, pressuring them into accepting much less than their cases are worth. Our knowledgeable and compassionate attorneys will ensure you know your legal rights and work to secure a settlement that fully covers your injuries and other losses.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help with Your Claim As a Non-US Citizen

Working with our skilled lawyers can ease your fears and uncertainty regarding your immigration status. We will ensure you understand your rights, how to protect them, and how to get the maximum possible compensation for your claims.
