Personal Injury FAQs

First and foremost, seek proper medical attention. Gather as much information as possible about the other driver(s), including their name, address, insurance information, etc. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses or police officers who may be present. Document, document, document! Take pictures of all vehicles involved and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises, etc.). You’ll also need to notify your insurance company. It’s a good idea to keep a detailed journal documenting your medical treatment and how you are feeling or progressing. And, if you are unable to work, get a statement from the hospital emergency room doctor or your doctor saying you cannot work and give this to your employer.

Generally, if you are injured in an accident in Ohio, you will have two years from the date the accident occurred to either settle the case or file a lawsuit. In the event that your loved one died in an accident, the clock starts running on the date of death (in most cases).

Many factors determine the amount of time it will take to resolve a personal injury case. The last thing you want is to settle your case too quickly while you are still being treated for injuries and/or healing. It is important that your case is evaluated completely before any sort of resolution or settlement.
