What Role Does Prompt Medical Care Play in Winning Your Personal Injury Case?

Your first concern after any type of personal injury accident needs to be getting immediate medical care. We recommend calling 9-1-1 and asking for paramedics. Getting medical attention right away serves two purposes: it ensures you receive prompt care for injuries and it links your injuries to the accident.
For example, imagine this scenario. You are riding your bicycle when a motorist moves through the bike lane to turn right, striking you. She was moving at a fairly low speed and you do not believe you suffered injuries besides a few scrapes and bruises.
Days later, you suffer intense abdominal pain and go to the emergency department. You have internal injuries that require surgery. You call us, and we file a claim against the at-fault motorist, but her auto insurance company denies its driver played any role in your injuries. It, instead, alleges your injuries stemmed from another incident between the collision and the time you saw the doctor. We can still provide the evidence to win your claim, but it is much more difficult than if you had gone to the doctor immediately.

How Can We Prove Liability and Win My Upper Arlington Personal Injury Case?

To win a personal injury case, we must show the at-fault party acted negligently and caused your injuries. This requires collecting evidence to show:

It had some type of obligation to keep you safe from harm, such as following traffic laws.
It failed to uphold this obligation, causing your injuries.
You suffered actual physical and financial damages.

We also need to document the range of your injury-related damages, allowing us to prove the full value of your claim and negotiate a fair settlement.
Once we have this evidence in hand, we can file a claim with the liable party’s insurance carrier. As a part of filing this claim, we send the insurer a demand letter outlining your damages and the evidence we collected. This usually prompts the insurance company to offer its own settlement package. After a few back-and-forth exchanges, we can usually negotiate a fair settlement and recover compensation on your behalf. Only in rare cases do we need to file a personal injury lawsuit to get you the payout you deserve.

Are There Other Laws That Affect My Ohio Personal Injury Claim?

Ohio law for most cases only gives us two years to file a personal injury lawsuit and hold the at-fault party liable for your damages. For this reason, it is important that we act quickly after an Upper Arlington, Ohio injury accident. We need to collect evidence and build a strong case, file an insurance claim, and attempt to negotiate an out-of-court settlement before we can decide if we need to litigate your case.
In addition, Ohio law limits the amount of noneconomic damages you can collect in a personal injury case. This cap applies primarily to pain and suffering damages, and, with only limited exceptions, limits the amount you can recover to $250,000 or three times your economic losses. This cap also only applies to relatively minor injuries. The courts typically waive the cap when the victim suffers permanent injuries that require ongoing care. We can help you collect the maximum available to you based on the facts of your case.
