Car Accidents in Ohio
Ohio experiences a high number of vehicle collisions every year. In 2022 alone, more than 265,000 auto accidents were reported across the state. These accidents can have a sudden and devastating effect on the lives of those involved, particularly if serious injuries are sustained. Unfortunately, thousands of individuals suffer injuries in car accidents throughout Ohio annually, leaving many to cope with the physical, emotional, and financial aftermath.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you have the right to pursue a legal claim for compensation from the responsible party. This compensation can help cover various damages, including medical bills, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and more. However, to successfully recover compensation, you must demonstrate that the other party was at fault for the accident.
Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence system when determining compensation. This means that if you are found to share any degree of fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced according to your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. Because of this system, it is crucial to have a skilled and dedicated team of Cleveland car accident attorneys on your side. Your attorney will investigate the accident, gather necessary evidence, and build a strong case to prove the other party’s liability.
