Does the At-Fault Party Pay for Accident Injury Property Damage Expenses?

Yes, the at-fault party pays for your accident injury and property damage expenses if you win your case. Ohio is a “fault” state when it comes to car accidents. The state’s tort system allows the victim of an auto accident to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit to recover the costs of their medical care, vehicle repair, and other damages.

If you or a loved one suffered injuries and damages in a central Ohio car accident, Bressman Law will help you take legal action against the at-fault motorist. Let us review your case and protect your right to a fair payout. Call us today at (614) 538-1116 to get started.

You May Be Eligible to Recover a Wide Variety of Damages

In Ohio, accident victims can recover many types of damages in a car accident case. When we handle a case, we collect your medical bills, receipts, appraisals, and other documentation. We determine the value of your economic damages and put a fair estimate on your non-economic damages. We use this total to negotiate a payout or argue your case in court.

If we negotiate an out-of-court settlement or win a personal injury verdict for you, you may be able to recover damages that include:

Ambulance transportation
Emergency department care
Medical treatment
Hospitalization
Rehabilitation and therapy
Follow-up care
Ongoing care costs
Expenses related to treatment and care
Lost wages
Diminished earning capacity
Repair or replacement of your vehicle
Other injury expenses
Out-of-pocket costs
Pain and suffering damages

Let Bressman Law Fight for the Payout You Deserve

Ohio law limits how long we have to take legal action against an at-fault motorist in a car accident case. You usually have two years from the date of your injuries to hold the liable party accountable. If we do not file a personal injury lawsuit within this time limit, the statute will likely bar us from taking any further legal action in the case.

Before we can consider negotiating an out-of-court settlement or filing a personal injury lawsuit, we need to investigate your accident and build a solid case. For this reason, it is imperative we get started right away. If your loved one was the victim of an accident and is still undergoing treatment, give us a call. We can even discuss their accident and injuries with your family at the hospital or in your home if necessary.
