Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
Your car accident lawyer in Columbus can help you seek financial recovery for current and future medical expenses, lost wages from time away from work, future lost income if you cannot return to your previous employment, pain and suffering, property damage to your vehicle, rehabilitation and therapy costs, permanent disability or disfigurement, and reduced quality of life. We calculate all current and future damages to ensure you receive full compensation for your losses.
To successfully settle your car accident claim, evidence is key. As your Columbus car accident attorney, we collect and review your testimony about the accident, the official police report citing any traffic violations, witness statements from anyone who saw the collision, photographs and videos of the accident scene and vehicle damage, medical records documenting your injuries, and expert testimony from accident reconstruction specialists when needed. Strong evidence is critical to countering insurance company attempts to deny or minimize your claim.
Ohio’s comparative negligence rule means you can still recover compensation as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. However, insurance companies will try to inflate your fault percentage to reduce what they pay. We fight aggressively to minimize any fault assigned to you, using evidence and expert testimony to tell the complete story of what happened.
No. Let your attorney handle all communication with insurance companies. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to accept a lowball settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries, use your statements against you to deny or reduce your claim, or pressure you into giving a recorded statement that weakens your case. Our attorneys at Bressman Law can communicate with any involved insurers on your behalf, protecting your rights while you focus on recovery.
The statute of limitations in Ohio generally gives you two years from the date of your collision to file an injury lawsuit. However, evidence disappears fast—surveillance footage gets deleted in 30-90 days, witnesses forget details, and physical evidence deteriorates. We’ve had cases where waiting just a few months cost critical evidence. Contact us as soon as possible to preserve evidence and ensure all deadlines are met.
We’ll explore every possible avenue for compensation, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, other potentially liable parties (employers, vehicle owners, municipalities if road conditions contributed), and asset recovery from the at-fault driver directly. There are often more options than people realize.
Yes. Some injuries, particularly concussions and soft tissue injuries, may not show symptoms immediately. What seems minor now could develop into a serious condition requiring extensive treatment. Additionally, insurance companies often pressure victims with “minor” injuries to settle quickly for far less than their claims are worth. An experienced attorney can ensure your settlement accounts for both current and potential future impacts of your injuries.
We handle all types of motor vehicle collision cases including rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, T-bone or side-impact crashes, multi-vehicle accidents, hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents. No matter how your accident occurred, we can help you understand your legal options and fight for the compensation you deserve.
