Compensation You Can Recover Following a Personal Injury

When you suffer a personal injury in Ohio, you have the legal right to pursue payment from the liable party. This payment, otherwise referred to as “damages” or “compensation,” works to cover these types of costs often associated with personal injuries:

• Medical costs. In 2024, the United States experienced $1.3 billion in personal injury costs. In personal injury cases, any medical treatment you receive due to your injuries, you can recover compensation for. This can include all emergency room visits, ambulance transportation, surgeries, treatments, diagnostic testing, medical devices, and medications. It can also include any long-term care that may be necessary.
• Lost income. You may be able to recover compensation if your injury has caused you to miss work or has disrupted your ability to earn a wage.
• Property loss. You may be able to recover any damages done to your vehicle or other forms of personal property that were harmed during the accident. These damages often go toward repairs or replacements of said items of property.
• Pain and suffering. These damages, while more difficult to measure, can help compensate you for the physical pain and suffering you are now dealing with as a result of both your injury and the traumatic event that caused the injury to occur.
• Mental or emotional anguish. You also have the right to seek compensation for any emotional or psychological issues your injury has caused, the loss of the enjoyment of life you are now dealing with, and any kind of mental or emotional condition you are now suffering from, such as posttraumatic stress disorder.
• Wrongful death. If your loved one has died as a result of a personal injury accident, you may be able to recover certain damages depending on the nature of your relationship to the deceased. These damages might include funeral costs, medical expenses, and burial costs.

At Rumizen Weisman Attorneys, we are here to review the full extent of your damages and calculate the fair amount of compensation you deserve.
