David J. Elk, Attorney

Catastrophic accidents can happen at any moment. The pain and suffering that follow can affect an entire family. Struggling with your pain, supporting your family and negotiating with insurance companies are more than anyone should have to handle. Two brothers noticed that the hardworking people of Ohio did not have the support they needed when they suffered a serious injury.
