The firm of Bressman Law has successfully resolved personal injury cases for values in the millions.

We Seek Eligible Compensation to Make You Whole
A car accident lawyer in Ohio will pursue compensation for your pain and suffering to make you whole. If you have not seen a doctor or medical professional, you should. It is important to keep in mind that car accident injuries such as neck or back pain can linger for years if not quickly diagnosed.
How the Law Defines Pain and Suffering
The law recognizes pain and suffering in several ways, including:
- Mental or psychological trauma such as anxiety and depression
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of consortium or companionship

You Could Still Be Eligible for Compensation even if You Are Partly Responsible for the Accident
Ohio has a comparative negligence law that allows you to recover damages if you played a minor role in the accident. You must be 50 percent or less responsible for the collision. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you may not seek compensation from the other driver.
The Compared Percentage of your Responsibility Reduces your Compensation
You should know that the same percentage will reduce the final amount of compensation you receive as your responsibility for the accident. For example, our firm helps you recover $100,000 in damages, yet you are responsible for 20 percent of the car accident. The total amount you would receive is $80,000 (accounting for 20 percent). However, a car accident lawyer in Ohio understands the law and will work for the maximum compensation you could receive.

Many Factors Lead to a Car Accident
