Elk & Elk: Not just another Ohio personal injury and medical malpractice law firm

The Ohio personal injury law firm of Elk & Elk staffs an impressive array of personal injury lawyers, paralegals, researchers, doctors, nurses, accountants, economists, investigators and other experts. We’ve won more multimillion dollar lawsuits for our clients over the last 10 years than any other Ohio wrongful death and medical malpractice law firm. And we have the resources to ensure that our top-notch staff of Ohio medical malpractice lawyers, product defect lawyers, car accident attorneys, motorcycle accident injury lawyers, Ohio stock fraud attorneys and all of our staff may continue to do so.

Building a better Ohio personal injury law firm: Our founders

Brothers Arthur and David Elk founded Elk & Elk on the belief that the state’s citizens needed an Ohio personal injury law firm that set itself apart from others by way of its reach and its resources. It needed to advocate on the behalf of average, hard-working citizens who faced the largely-untouchable multi-billion dollar insurance companies, hospitals and big businesses with the money to hire big-gun defense attorneys and expert witnesses.

“The people we represent are often the 'Average Joes' of the world who met with some unfortunate circumstances and now have to face off against a highly-paid corporate, courtroom-savvy defense attorney,” said David Elk, the firm’s senior partner. “It takes a lot of time, money and understanding to take these kinds of defendants to task and we’re able to offer all of that.”

Likewise, David Elk’s brother, managing partner Arthur Elk, saw a genuine need to “level the playing field” for Ohio’s injury victims who faced smooth-talking insurance adjusters, big-dollar defense attorneys and hand-picked experts in courtrooms across the state.

“These injured people hadn’t asked for their lives to be derailed because of someone else’s negligence,” Arthur Elk said. “They needed an Ohio wrongful death and medical malpractice law firm that understood they couldn’t work because of their injuries; they were having trouble paying rent and other bills and certainly were hard-pressed to find attorneys - whether they were Ohio medical malpractice attorneys, product defect, stock fraud, commercial vehicle accident, or any other type of plaintiffs’ lawyer - to fit their budgets.”
