In Ohio, all vehicle accidents are resolved using a fault-based system. The Ohio Department of Public Safety recorded a total of 6,969 vehicle accidents in Cuyahoga County during 2024. Accidents can happen on busy highways like I-90 and I-77, and it is also possible for crashes to occur on smaller roads in the downtown area or in nearby suburbs. No matter how your accident happened, you will need to prove fault before you can claim compensation for your damages.
Each year in the United States, car accidents are a leading cause of accidental injuries and fatalities. According to the National Safety Council, there were 44,762 fatalities and more than five million medically consulted injuries from vehicle accidents throughout the United States in 2023. The total economic impact of these accidents, including medical treatment costs, property damage, and lost productivity, exceeded $500 billion.
The majority of the vehicle accidents reported in Cleveland and throughout Cuyahoga County each year are the result of driver negligence. Speeding, distracted driving, and moving violations like failure to yield the right-of-way and illegal turns are just a few examples of how driver negligence can cause serious accidents. It is also possible for drivers to crash by breaking the law, such as by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Various forms of evidence could come into play in your car accident case. Your Cleveland car accident lawyer can help you gather evidence like cell phone records, police reports, vehicle computer data, and testimony from any witnesses who saw the accident happen. Success with your case will hinge on your ability to prove fault, and proving fault is a requirement for filing an auto insurance claim and/or personal injury suit after an accident.
It’s important to keep in mind that Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that if you share fault for causing your claimed damages, you can still recover compensation, but will lose a percentage to reflect your shared liability. However, if a plaintiff is found more at fault than a defendant, they are barred from recovery. Consult an attorney right away if you are worried that you are partially responsible for causing your accident.
Ohio law requires every driver in the state to have auto insurance that meets minimum coverage requirements. When a driver causes an accident, their insurance policy can cover the resulting damages up to the coverage limits of their policy. However, insurance companies will typically do everything they can to justify devaluing or denying a claim. You need to hire a car accident lawyer before filing your insurance claim to have a better chance of receiving a fair offer.
Although many people pay large premiums to their insurance companies with the hope of financial protection in an accident, they are often surprised by the lack of support they receive. Insurance companies do not settle on a piecemeal basis. They do not pay lost wages at the beginning of your case, nor do they typically pay for each medical bill as it arises.
Because dealing with the insurance companies can be so frustrating, it only makes sense to have an experienced lawyer on your side. We know exactly what it takes to help you obtain the money you need and deserve. To make sure your legal rights are protected from the very beginning, contact Rumizen Weisman Attorneys.
Our firm can help you file your insurance claim, ensuring you are treated fairly and that you receive a suitable settlement offer. If any disputes arise, we can be ready to resolve these issues for you and guide you to a fair settlement.
Your Cleveland car accident attorney can also help you with a personal injury case if necessary for your situation. Success with any personal injury case in Cleveland will require proof of liability for your damages. You must prove how the defendant caused your accident and show the full extent of your resulting losses. If successful, it is possible to recover compensation for vehicle repair costs, medical expenses, lost wages, and for your pain and suffering.
The aftermath of a car accident can be traumatic and confusing. You may remember how it happened or have no memory of the event because of your injuries. You may face painful symptoms from your injuries, a difficult medical treatment process, and further financial strain from the inability to work. In this situation, you need to hire a car accident lawyer you trust at your first opportunity.
Rumizen Weisman Attorneys can gather all of the evidence needed to firmly establish liability for your accident. If any disputes arise regarding liability for the accident, trust us to resolve these for you.
