Personal Injury Attorneys in Union County, OH
Helping Protect Our Clients Right to Fair Compensation
Personal injury claims arise when a person suffers harm due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. These claims are rooted in the legal principle of 'duty of care,' which states that individuals and entities are obligated to act in a manner that does not put others at unreasonable risk of harm.
For instance, drivers have a duty to obey traffic laws and not endanger others on the road. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions on their premises. Manufacturers have a duty to ensure their products are safe for use. When these duties are breached and cause harm, a personal injury claim may be initiated.
At Rourke & Blumenthal, our attorneys have over 150 years of collective experience and are committed to helping our clients pursue compensation if they are injured due to someone else’s negligent actions. Led by the respected Mike Rourke, Sr., our team collectively boasts more than 150 years of practice in personal injury law.
We are not simply practitioners; we stand as relentless advocates for justice and steadfast allies for those who have been wronged. With a record that includes recovery of over $300 million for our clients, we demonstrate the impact of dedication, hard work, and a client-centered approach.

What Is the Role of a Personal Injury Attorney?
The importance of hiring an experienced personal injury attorney before accepting a settlement cannot be overstated. An attorney can help navigate complex legal situations, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation. A personal injury attorney can also help you by:
- Offering your sound legal counsel
- Calculating your damages
- Negotiating or litigating your claim
- Filing your lawsuit
- Collecting evidence to establish liability
- Developing a personalized legal strategy and argument
- Maximizing your compensation and minimizing your liability
- Keeping you informed of your rights and options
Without an attorney, you may find yourself at a disadvantage, as insurance companies have experienced adjusters and attorneys who aim to minimize the amount they pay out. Also, without understanding the full extent of your injuries and potential future costs, you may accept a low settlement that will not cover your long-term needs.
There are countless examples of individuals who have tried to handle their personal injury claim without an attorney and have received less compensation than they deserved. For instance, an individual might accept a quick settlement offer from an insurance company, not realizing that it will not cover all their medical bills. Or they might fail to account for future medical costs related to their injuries, resulting in financial hardship down the line.

"You NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases."Wonderful firm! We have worked with other attorneys in the past and Mike and Tim blew us away. If you have a brain injury in the State of Ohio, you NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases, not just motor vehicle accidents or other personal injury matters. It makes a huge difference having an attorney who understands the medical, emotional, and financial issues a family suffers after a TBI. They are professional, compassionate, and great communicators. I would recommend this office to anyone.- Suzanne

"Attorney Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with."Attorney Jon Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He did everything he could to help me. From the start, Jon was very responsive and always explained everything in terms I could easily understand. Jon's staff was also kind and responsive. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again in the future. Several months after being done with my case, another lawyer, handling a different part of the case, commented on how well Jon handled my civil suit.- Jillian

"Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly"From the very beginning and to the very end of a long process, Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. I found them to be honest and easy to communicate with, day or night, weekday or weekend. Mr. Rourke was always professional but at the same time made you feel important and took as much time that was needed to explain the many steps in this process. Everyone of his team were very respectful and caring of everyone in my family involved in our case. I will have an admiration for Mr. Rourke and his team for the remainder of my life.- Kelly

"I will forever be grateful for their help!"I suffered physical injuries and a concussion from an auto accident in December of 2020.
