Fault
Regardless of whom you think was at fault, it is wise to consult an experienced personal injury law firm as soon as possible. Within the first week after an accident, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may become hard to find. Under Ohio's law of comparative fault, if more than one person causes an accident, the fault is shared by the parties. Even victims who are partially at fault may be entitled to recover a portion of their damages.
Experience
The car accident lawyers at the Law Firm of Clark Perdue have extensive experience handling auto accident cases in Ohio and throughout the country.
Questions You Should Ask an Attorney
What to Do Following A Motor Vehicle Accident
Uninsured Motorist Claims:
- We had clients who contacted us because their attorney was "not doing anything" for them. Our clients' twelve-year-old son was crossing the street and was killed by a drunk driver. The drunk driver was operating a vehicle under suspension, and driving a vehicle that was not insured. The young boy was survived by his parents, an eleven-year-old sister (who witnessed her brother's death), grandparents, aunts and uncles. After investigating the case, we were able to win a settlement with the parents', grandfathers' and uncles' uninsured motorists insurance companies in only a few months.
- We represented a middle-aged executive who was struck by an uninsured driver while he was checking his mailbox at the end of his rural driveway. Our client had a significant brain injury. Although the other driver had no insurance, our client had a $2 million uninsured motorist policy. We sued our client's insurance company, and they refused to make any meaningful offer until after we had started trial. We rejected all of their offers and eventually obtained a fair verdict that far exceeded the insurance company's best offer. As a result, we were able to improve dramatically our client's quality of life.
- Our client and his wife were in Columbus visiting friends. Both were backseat passengers in a vehicle that was struck by a drunk driver who ran a red light. The wife died at the scene and her husband suffered injuries to his spinal cord. These injuries include five broken vertebrae in his neck. He also suffered a broken arm. As a result of the charges arising from the accident, the drunk driver was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. The drunk driver was underinsured. We were able to obtain favorable settlements with the drunk driver's insurance company, and our client's two underinsured motorist insurance companies.
