Car Accident: How Do I File A Claim?

The worse has happened. You got into a car accident. Thankful that you have minor injuries but you have lost your means of transportation, you cannot go to work, you have medical bills. You are not at fault but you are victim of someone else’s negligence. Drivers owe each other a duty of care and there are plenty of drivers who do not care.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol in the fourth district there was a total in 2020 an approximate 1,756 crashes investigated and in 2021 at least 1,734 investigated so far. This information was last updated on March 29th 2021. There are other categories that are posted on their website which includes distracted drivers, 200 investigated in 2021 and 196 investigated in 2020. Another category that I found interesting was driving under suspension, 772 investigated in 2021 and 440 investigated in 2020. Drivers who have a suspended licensed as considered high risk drivers or people who should not be driving a vehicle at all. A vehicle is considered a weapon and it can cause a tremendous amounts of damage.

When you are not at fault, and someone else has caused our injury, should not have to be responsible for the costs. When you are injured and have medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering, our office and personal injury attorneys will fight to have those costs recovered.

How Do You File A Claim In Ohio?

After your car accident it’s very important to contact our office right away. This is due to the fact that hospitals sometimes will bill your insurance without your knowledge, or clients will start paying bills they are not responsible for. It’s important to go over this with us, and provide to us all the bills you are receiving. It’s important to know if you paid any of those bills because we will seek reimbursement.

When you get into a car accident and need to file a claim or to file a case with the court it’s important to understand that personal injury law in Ohio is very complex. There are so many facts and issues in each case so it’s important to know what court client’s needs are and to make sure they are properly reimbursed.

The laws are written in black-and-white but they are not always clear. We have to seek the most for our clients so we need to obtain all the facts, medical bills, lost wages and any expert testimony necessary.

Is There A Deadline To File A Personal Injury Case?

 Yes, in the State of Ohio, there is a small amount of time to file a case with the Court which is why it is so important to contact our office as soon as possible. Clients have come to our office after the statute of limitations and we had to turn down those clients. It’s important to provide all the dates to us at your initial consultation so we can insure that we meet any deadlines that are required in Ohio.

Timing plays such a critical role in seeking reimbursement. The timing of the accident, the time a client underwent medical treatment and the time of the lost wages are something that insurance companies pay close attention to. It is critical that all of the proper dates preserved.
