Our Process for Proving the Other Driver Is At-Fault

You Might Be Eligible for Recoverable Compensation After We:

  • Show the driver had a duty of care to drive safely, legally, and responsibly.
  • Use evidence to prove the driver was negligent in upholding this duty.
  • Demonstrate how you were injured because of this negligence.
  • Determine damages from your injuries to seek available compensation.

We Investigate for Evidence of the Other Driver’s Negligence

Some car accidents are simpler to determine which driver is to blame for the car accident. Proving negligence in car accidents caused by a drunk driver or rear-end collisions is usually straight-forward. In other cases, there might be more than one person responsible for the accident. That is why you should call a car accident lawyer from Bressman Law who understands the legal process.

A Car Accident Lawyer from our Firm Uses the Following as Evidence, Including:

  • Police reports including any citations issued against the other driver.
  • Witness statements including amateur videos or photographs of the accident.
  • Photographs of the accident scene, your car, and your injuries.
  • Your medical records, x-rays, scans, and doctor’s notes.
  • Review of the other driver’s record including any traffic-related misdemeanor or felony charges.
  • Recreation of the accident if necessary.

You Can Be Eligible to Seek Compensation Even if You Are Partially At-Fault

Under Ohio’s comparative negligence law, if you are more than 50 percent at fault, you may not seek compensation from the other driver. However, you can pursue recoverable damages if you 50 percent or less responsible for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by the same percent caused by your negligence.

Please Do Not Talk to the Insurance Adjuster

It is our experience that insurance companies are not as interested in proving who is at fault as they are settling for the lowest possible amount. Anything you say in a phone call or in person could be used negatively against your claim. Please let us speak on your behalf. We will prove the other driver’s negligence and seek the most substantial amount of eligible compensation that you might receive.

Bressman Law Does Not Charge Attorney Fees Unless We Are Successful

Sometimes a car accident victim is hesitant about hiring an attorney. We believe that injured people should have legal representation without huge retainers or up-front fees. You do not pay attorney fees unless and until we successfully recover compensation. We pursue compensation through a settlement with the insurance company or from a verdict in a trial.
