accident

Getting into a Cincinnati car wreck with any type of car or other automobile can present difficult legal situations. Dealing with a commercial insurance carrier can present an extra layer of complexity, particularly where the accident involves an individual who was working at the time of the crash. Determining who will pay the bills to fix the vehicles, who will pay the medical bills, and who will represent the persons involved, are just a few of the questions that will need to be answered for proper resolution of the situation. 

When an auto accident occurs most people have more questions than answers about what should be done. Can I go get treatment right away? Should I get treatment right away? Who will pay? What will happen to my insurance rates? What if the person who caused the accident says it was my fault? What if the police report has inaccuracies? 

Many of our clients call us following an auto accident and explain that the individual who caused the wreck did not have insurance. This situation is quite common unfortutunately and presents an obvious problem when property damage and/or personal injuries are involved. Fortunately there are solutions. 

Bringing an Uninsured Motorist Claim

Not all car accidents are equal in severity, and differ greatly in terms of injury. Sometimes we see auto accident cases with very little property damage yet serious injuries. Othertimes, we see serious car damage and relatively minor injuries. Some experts have opined that there is a loose correlation between property damage and injury. The insurance industry often relies strongly upon property damage in evaluating claims. Regardless of the severity of one's injuries, documentation is key.

Serious Cincinnati Car Crashes and Evidence of Injuries

It is quite common for an employer to contest or fight a workers comp claim. An employer may argue that an accident at work did not actually take place, or that if it did, it did not result in serious injury. I often advise clients to try and remain calm under such circumstances as they are very common and rarely personal. That being said, such a situation can be both frustrating and worrisome, especially considering the medical bills and loss of income that often accompanyies a work injury.
