Were you or someone you love struck by a vehicle while standing or walking in Cincinnati? You could be entitled to recover the costs of treating your injuries and other related expenses. At Bressman Law, we will help you build a strong case for financial compensation.
While you cope with the collision’s aftermath, our Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyers will fight for your financial recovery by holding the at-fault party financially liable.
Financial Compensation We Can Secure for You
The injuries you suffer after being hit by a car can be extensive and costly, requiring long recovery times. When our law firm represents you, we carefully collect your medical bills from every physician, technician, lab, and facility where you received treatment.
We also obtain a copy of your written prognosis. It will help establish the costs of your necessary medical care and help you avoid paying those expenses out of pocket.
Some treatment-related expenses you can pursue include:
- Ambulance fees
- Emergency room care
- Hospital admissions
- Rehab and therapy
- Prescription medications
Other recoverable damages comprise:
- Past and future lost wages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Property damage or destruction
We will obtain documents that prove the value of your damages and include them in your evidence file. We will also use the total of your recoverable damages to negotiate a fair and appropriate settlement with the at-fault driver and their insurance company.
You Can Only Pursue Damages Within Ohio’s Statutory Deadline
Ohio sets a civil statute of limitations on all civil lawsuits. Consider the following:
- Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10 generally entitles you to two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit.
- Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02 generally grants two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Given enough notice, our pedestrian accident team will ensure your case is filed on time. If you attempt to file your lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, the at-fault driver’s representative will request — and receive — an immediate dismissal in court.
In most cases filed outside the applicable deadline, you simply will not be allowed to file at all. We can help you avoid misinterpreting or misunderstanding the statute of limitations. We want to recover everything you deserve.
There Are Additional Benefits To Acting Quickly
Meeting the statute of limitations is only one reason to get our team on your side without delay. Early intervention on our part means we can locate and speak to witnesses while their memories are still fresh. It also means we can conduct a thorough investigation and consult experts who support your right to financial recovery.
When we start dealing with the insurance company for you right away, it helps you avoid making statements that might work against you later. We also help you avoid the temptation of accepting a settlement that is too low to meet your post-accident financial needs.

What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Cincinnati?
After suffering harm or losing a loved one in a pedestrian accident, we recommend that you:
- Visit a healthcare provider. If you personally suffered harm and want to recover damages, you need evidence to support your case. Medical documentation, such as your imaging scans and lab test results, can prove your injuries’ severity.
- Keep all case-related documentation. The claims adjuster might email you right after the collision. The at-fault party might even message you on social media. You want to record all written communications regarding your case. That way, if a party denies saying something, we can refute that denial with evidence.
- Refrain from giving a recorded statement. The insurance company will likely ask you to give a recorded statement about what happened before, during, and after the collision. Yet, doing this does not help. It only helps the insurer find inconsistencies in your testimony nod use your words against you.
