How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help

The Delaware car accident lawyers from Bressman Law can help you in several ways. We can help by establishing fault, gathering evidence, and filing a claim.

Establishing Fault

To establish the other driver was at fault, we will establish the four legal areas of negligence:

  • Duty of Care: A duty of care is a driver’s obligation to do or not to do something. For example, a driver has a duty of care to not text while they are driving.
  • Breach of Duty: If a driver fails to uphold their obligation, they have breached the duty of care. If a driver texts while driving, they have broken a law and have breached the duty of care.
  • Causation: It is important to show that the breach of duty caused the accident. If a driver who was texting swerved into another driver’s lane and this created an accident, this would satisfy the causation element.
  • Actual Damages: In order to file a claim, we must show that actual provable damages occurred. Your medical receipts from a hospital visit would be proof of actual damages.

Gathering Evidence

Our team can help you by gathering evidence to prove the negligent driver caused your accident and to show the extent of your injuries.

Evidence we may collect includes:

  • A police report
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Medical records
  • Medical bills
  • Photographs
  • Video Surveillance
  • Expert Testimony

Filing a Claim

We can help you file a claim against the other driver. This may involve negotiating with the at-fault driver’s insurance company on your behalf. Their insurance company may offer a lower settlement than we are seeking. If this happens, we can send them a counter-offer.

It is possible to reach a settlement for your damages without going to court. However, if we cannot reach a fair settlement or the insurance company refuses to settle, we are prepared for litigation.

A car accident lawyer in Delaware, OH, from our firm will represent you in court.

Time Limits on Filing a Car Accident Claim

Ohio puts a time limit, or a statute of limitations, on filing a car accident claim. In most cases, you have two years to file a claim against the at-fault driver under Ohio law.

A car accident lawyer can help you meet this deadline. Some evidence may be easier to collect sooner after your car accident, such as eyewitness statements — the incident will be fresh in their mind, instead of asking them a year after it happened.
