Bressman Law

We handle personal injury cases. These include Auto Accidents, Truck Accidents, Bus Accidents, Dog Bites, Slip and Falls, Eighteen Wheeler Accidents, Assault and Battery, and any other motor vehicle accident.

We work on a contingency fee. This means we do not get paid until you are compensated for your injuries.

We highly recommend you speak to a lawyer about your case before you accept the insurance company’s offer. The insurance company usually offers you a low-ball offer to get you to settle. If, after a review of your case, we cannot add value we will tell you that.

The insurance company specifically trains their adjusters to pay you as little as possible. An Ohio personal injury lawyer helps you even the odds. If you have been handling the claim yourself, you may have noticed the change in tone once they made you an offer. At the beginning, the adjuster is nice. The adjuster does this to extract as much information about your claim. Then the adjuster changes their tune by offering you a small amount and telling you how bad your claim is.

Yes. Each claim has what is called a Statute of Limitations. This varies by claim. Please contact a lawyer if you have questions about your claims time limit.

Very few personal injury cases go to trial. However, you want to have a lawyer that the insurance companies know will take your case to trial if your case needs it, like Bressman Law. Insurance companies are not concerned with lawyers that will never take a case to trial since the insurance company knows that the lawyer will always settle before trial.

Call the police, especially if you are injured. Take pictures of your case and the other person’s car. Get information from witnesses.

If the police did not come to the scene of the collision, you can file your own police report. Although, we handle cases where a police report was not filed.

Yes. However, if the insurance company is telling you that you are partly at fault you need to speak with a lawyer immediately. Sometimes the insurance company tries to pin some of the fault on you when there is not any.

Yes. Being injured in a collision does not always mean that you will have a broken bone or a fracture. But, you may still feel muscle pain. This is compensable.

Typically, no. Ohio law states that you can only sue your employer for an intentional tort. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. It is best to speak with a personal injury lawyer about your claim.

You can be compensated for your missed time off work. Make sure that when you take the time off that you document the time off.

You are able to be compensated for both economic and non-economic damages. These include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.

Each claim has a different timeline of when it will settle. Any lawyer that tells you that your claim will be settled in a specific timeframe is going to rush you through treatment, even if you are not fully healed.

Unfortunately, Ohio law makes you responsible for your own bills until you settle with the at-fault’s insurance company. If you have medical payments coverage through your own insurance policy, this can help you bridge the gap between the accident and your settlement.

Not every claim requires you to file a lawsuit. So, filing a claim is a start. We work at your direction. If you don’t want to file a lawsuit, we do our best to get you a fair settlement without doing so.

Call your insurance company.
