Proving Negligence and Liability After Your Accident
All personal injury cases center on proving the other party acted in a negligent way and caused the accident and the resulting injuries. To build a strong case to prove fault and liability, we investigate every case we handle and collect evidence to show why it happened, who caused it, and how.
As a part of this investigation, we take a number of steps to help us understand your crash. Our process includes:
- Getting a copy of the police report;
- Reviewing witness statements and conducting additional interviews;
- Searching for any available video of the accident;
- Surveying and documenting the scene of the crash;
- Working with accident reconstruction specialists if necessary;
- Analyzing the damage to all vehicles involved; and
- Collecting documentation of your expenses and losses.
This evidence should help us prove the four elements of negligence:
- The driver had a responsibility to drive in a safe and reasonable way;
- They failed to uphold this responsibility;
- Their careless or reckless actions caused your accident; and
- You suffered injuries and financial damages.

We Can Help You Fight for the Compensation You Need After an Ohio Crash.
In general, there are two ways we can recover compensation for our clients after Marysville car accident. We can file an auto liability insurance claim based on the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage, or file a personal injury lawsuit. If we need to take the case to an Ohio civil court, we will ask the judge and jury to award you a verdict.
However, we often begin by trying to file an insurance claim. We can always litigate your case later if it becomes apparent the insurance company will not pay out a fair settlement. The claims process requires us to:
- Send a demand letter to the insurance company representatives, explaining our case against the policyholder and demanding a payout;
- Consider any counter-offers, and typically submit a second offer in an attempt to negotiate a fair settlement based on your losses and expenses; and
- Continue settlement negotiations until we can reach a fair settlement agreement with the insurance company—or until it becomes apparent there is no way to reach a fair agreement.
Settling out of court is generally faster and cheaper, and we know this matters to you and your family. However, if we cannot recover the compensation you need through settlement negotiations, we will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit.
At Bressman Law, we have the resources and experience to litigate your case if that becomes necessary. If we cannot reach a fair settlement agreement with the insurance company or if the company representatives deny our claim, we will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit. We will present the case we built in court and argue for a fair payout on your behalf.
