To receive compensation after a car accident in Ohio, you can file an insurance claim or injury lawsuit. We can help you collect evidence to build a strong case proving negligence and liability.

Talk to an Ohio Car Accident Attorney About Your Case

While you could try to handle your car accident case on your own, you may want to discuss your case with an Ohio car accident attorney. We know how to navigate the claims process and will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit to go after the compensation you deserve.

At Bressman Law, attorney David Bressman and his team know how to get the job done. We can review your situation, explain if we believe you have a viable case, and build a strong case on your behalf. With us on your side, you can worry about healing while we take care of everything else. Call us today at (614) 538-1116 to get started with your free case evaluation.

Understanding the Process

When we review your case, it is the beginning of the process to recover compensation for the damages you suffered. We ensure you have a viable case by discussing what happened during our initial consultation. Once we accept your case, we begin our investigation. By identifying and collecting evidence, we can:

  • Identify all potentially liable parties
  • Build a solid case for negligence and liability
  • Document your full range of expenses and losses related to the crash

We will file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf, taking legal action to hold the at-fault party liable in civil court. In some cases, we may be able to reach an out-of-court settlement for a fair payout. In others, we present the case we built in court and ask the Judge to award a fair payout.

Getting the Payout

Like other personal injury attorneys, we handle all car accident cases on a contingency basis. This means we do not get paid any attorney’s fees until we win a payout for you. The check comes to us and we take out our fees and expenses, which may include acquiring medical records, hiring a private investigator, and filing fees for a lawsuit. Then we cut you a check for your payout.

We explain our fees in easy-to-understand language before you every sign on as a client, so there is nothing to worry about or work out at this point. We will be glad to answer any questions you have or address any concerns, however.

Once we win a verdict or reach a fair settlement agreement in your Ohio car accident case, it may take a few weeks before the check gets to us. We will do everything we can to reduce the wait time. We know you need compensation as soon as possible.
