Head-On Collisions Tend to Result in Serious or Fatal Injuries
According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), wrong-way car accidents tend to be sadly fatal or result in severe injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, paralysis, and damage to the spinal cord are often seen as a result of wrong-way collisions.
Injured parties are forced to contend with severe or lifelong harm that can have far-reaching effects on their enjoyment of life and ability to work. Medical bills and rehabilitation costs can quickly escalate, and amendments may be required at home or in a vehicle to accommodate care needs.
We understand that the prospect of claiming compensation may seem daunting and complicated, which is why we aim to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Let us put our resources and knowledge to work while you focus on what is most important: your best recovery.

You Deserve to Be Compensated Fairly for Your Injuries and Related Losses
If you were injured, you would likely seek compensation by filing a claim with your (or the at-fault driver’s) insurance provider or via a lawsuit directly against the negligent driver in a civil lawsuit. Depending on your circumstances, there are several different types of damages you could recover:
- Current and ongoing medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and compensation for any impact on future earnings
- Pain, suffering, and inconvenience
If the accident caused the loss of a loved one, the surviving family could file a wrongful death lawsuit against the collision driver. To take the first step in seeking compensation, talk to the team at Bressman Law.

We Can Help You Gather the Evidence Required to Prove Negligence
Wrong-way vehicle collisions can occur in the following ways:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Inexperienced drivers
- Infrastructure deficiencies
- Driving in unfamiliar areas
- Poor weather conditions
Typically, in this type of accident, the wrong-way driver is usually at fault. However, the injured party must still prove the other driver was negligent before liability can be assigned. Proving negligence can be problematic in some cases. This is one of the many reasons an injured party may seek assistance through legal representation.
Along with helping you understand how to proceed with your claim and your eligibility for compensation, a Dublin wrong way accident lawyer could further assist you with your case by providing the following services:
- Investigating the cause of the accident
- Requesting and collecting vital evidence to support your claim
- Identifying liable parties
- Proving negligence resulted in your injuries
- Providing access to a network of professionals who could support your case with expert testimony, such as medical experts
- Estimating the value of your claim
- Managing negotiations with the at-fault parties’ insurance company
- Reviewing settlement offers
- Representing you in court, where required
You do not have to tackle the legal process alone. When we take your case, we guide you through the claims procedure from start to finish. We will be your voice in settlement negotiations with insurance companies or their lawyers. At the same time, you can recharge mentally and focus on your recovery.

Ohio Laws and Statues That Could Affect Your Right to Claim Compensation
Due to limitations on the time you have to file a lawsuit, it can be beneficial to speak with an Ohio personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after you suffer an injury.
The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) § 2305.10 governs the length of time you have to claim compensation. At present, you have two years from the date of the accident. After this, it is generally unlikely you will be able to pursue damages. However, in some situations, there are exceptions.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury and need clarification about your rights or the laws that could affect your claim, our Dublin wrong way accident lawyers are available to provide advice.
