Common Causes of Car Accidents in Ohio
To obtain a positive case result, your legal representative needs to prove that a negligent party is responsible for your injuries and financial losses. Unfortunately, most car collisions occur when motorists adopt dangerous habits or start driving recklessly.
Negligent driving behaviors include, but are not limited to:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failing to yield
- Texting
- Tailgating
- Running red lights
- Talking with passengers
- Eating or drinking
At Burnside Brankamp Law, our legal team can meticulously research the accident, collect vital evidence, and construct a litigation strategy that identifies the at-fault party. Once we have this information, we can go toe-to-toe with the defendant’s insurance company and help you secure a settlement that covers your injury-related debts and escalating medical expenses. Of course, we can also take your case to court if the insurer refuses to provide you with the compensation your condition warrants.
Five Steps to Take After a Car Accident
When you are involved in a car crash, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, confused, and in shock. Once you and your loved ones have gotten to safety after an accident, there are several important steps to take to ensure the continued health and protection of those involved in an accident.
Follow these five important steps to take after a car accident in Portsmouth:
- Call the police and an ambulance- Filing a police report and attending to medical needs are the most important steps to take after an accident.
- Do not admit fault- Ohio is an at-fault state, which means that there must be fault attributed to a party involved in a car crash. Be cautious of what you say so that liability is not incorrectly attributed to your actions.
- Document the scene of the accident- It is important to take pictures of the accident and any property that was damaged. This may help to prove that you were not liable for the damages sustained in the accident.
- Contact your insurance company- File an insurance claim right away with your insurance company. Do not admit to fault, but try to be very detailed regarding the events that took place leading up to your accident.
- Seek representation of an accident lawyer- Seeking compensation for your injuries sustained in a car accident can be a complicated process. Our attorneys can help you and your loved ones receive the compensation that you deserve for your injuries.
