How Can Tittle & Perlmuter Help Victims of Car Wrecks?

Your Insurance Company Doesn't Have Your Back — We Will.

It is important that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a car accident. The right attorneys can help get you a fair settlement for the damages and pain you experience from the car wreck, and get your life back. When our personal injury team takes on a case, we jump in headfirst and immediately conduct a thorough investigation of each car accident to ensure no evidence is lost or destroyed. The types of evidence we gather include police reports, photos taken at the scene of the accident, witness statements, data recorder information, phone records, manufacturer and recall information, as well as medical and work records. We look at all of the evidence and determine:

When Should I Contact an Attorney?

Avoid Insurance Traps from the Beginning of Your Claim.

You should go to the hospital right after a car accident and take care of any injuries you sustained in the crash. Then you should contact a local personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options moving forward, especially if you were not at fault for the accident. If there is any indication that the driver found at fault was negligent, then you should seek legal advice.

Common Catastrophic Car Crash Injuries

Decades of Experience Getting Results for Car Accident Survivors.

Many times people are lucky and their car accident is a fender-bender and no major injuries are sustained. However, when a car crash is serious, there can be life-changing consequences. Injuries that lawyers frequently see as a result of a car accident include:

Has your life been upended by a car crash? Any of these injuries require immediate medical attention from a medical specialist. Next, contact a car accident attorney to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for the recoverable damages you endured from your car crash.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

Take the Right Steps with an Expert by Your Side.

Ohio car crash lawyers

There is nothing stopping you from handling a car accident on your own with your insurance company, as well as the other driver’s insurance company. However, an important reason for hiring a car crash attorney is because they can help negotiate settlements with insurance companies, negotiate any potential subrogation claims with your own health insurance company, and/or a file personal injury lawsuit on your behalf, as well as go to court if needed. In short, they help you maximize your claim, and make sure you don’t have debt due to the at-fault’s negligence. Get the next steps to your claim and reach out to our team.

After an accident, the insurance company is not fighting for you, they are doing what is best for themselves. Their main focus is to get you to agree to a small settlement quickly. Right after an accident, it might seem great to get a few hundred or thousand dollars right away to help with any immediate bills. However, this is not the best solution for the long term. You may experience additional medical expenses and unpaid leave from work down the road. An insurance company doesn’t care that you have multiple medical bills after your auto crash, or you’re experiencing lost wages because you haven’t been able to return to work; but our attorneys care. Hire our team to fight for you.

Why Shouldn’t I Give a Statement to the Insurance Company After a Car Accident?

Insurance Companies Could Try to Twist Your Words.

The reason it is crucial to speak to a reputable attorney after a car accident and before giving a statement to the at-fault person’s insurance company is that you do not want to say anything that could be misconstrued.

Insurance companies will try to find reasons to believe that you aren’t as badly hurt as you say you are, in order to give a lower settlement. A Cleveland car accident attorney will be able to guide you on how to convey to the insurance company the full extent of your injuries and expenses that are a direct result of the crash.

It is also essential to keep all documentation of the expenses you’ve incurred, such as medical bills, vehicle repair bills, etc. You should also adhere to what your doctor suggests for the best plan of treatment for your recovery. Take the medication they prescribe, complete any additional testing they order, and make sure you go to any follow-up appointments you have set up. Insurance companies could interpret that the reason you’re ignoring your doctor’s instructions is because your injuries aren’t catastrophic.

How Do Insurance Companies Act in Bad Faith?

Get an Ally to Fight the Trillion Dollar Insurance Industry.

An attorney can also stand up to the insurance company if they are acting in bad faith. In other words, the insurance company may be trying to find a way to escape their obligation to pay you the amount you deserve for your claim. Under Ohio law, if you are making an uninsured or underinsured motor vehicle claim under your own policy, your insurance company is required to act in good faith.

Examples of bad faith from insurance companies include:

A lawyer who has experience handling car crash claims is going to do everything in their power so you receive justice for the monetary and physical damages you’ve incurred. An insurance company will not look out for you like an attorney will. At Tittle & Perlmuter, we are our client’s biggest allies. Fight the insurance company and call our team today.

Car Accident Frequently Asked Questions

The Answers You Need to Guide You Through Your Car Accident Claim.

No, you do not have to accept an insurance settlement and it is recommended that you call a lawyer to explore your options and get legal advice before accepting any settlements or signing any papers.

You can file a lawsuit for up to two years after the date of the accident, with some exceptions.

Insurance companies are trained to try and settle claims as quickly as possible and for the least amount of money possible. They may also try to find ways to escape their obligation to pay you the amount you deserve for your claim.

Generally speaking, personal injury settlements are non-taxable. However, some portions of the settlement may be taxable if there is a lost wage component. It is important to discuss any personal injury settlement with a tax professional.

If you are not injured, you do not have a personal injury case. However, we suggest that you confirm that you did not suffer any injuries as a result of the crash by seeing your primary care physician.

Call the police so a police report is made and an investigation is carried out to determine who is at-fault. Then, make sure you have the insurance information of the at-fault driver. If you are injured, get medical help immediately. Lastly, before you talk to the insurance company or sign any papers, make sure to call a lawyer to discuss your options. Insurance companies are trained to try and settle these claims quick and for the least amount possible.

Under Ohio Revised Code §2305.10 (A), you must bring your personal injury claim within two years from the date you were injured, with some exceptions.

The value of a personal injury case is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The settlement is dependent upon the severity of physical and economic damages.

Generally, your medical bills should be paid by your health insurance carrier. For copays or payments of medical bills not covered by your health insurance, at times, you are able to use your own medical payment coverage under your own car insurance. However, your own health insurance should be billed first.

You should hire an attorney that will give you a no-fee promise – meaning, the only way that an attorney fee will be charged is if the recovery is made. Then, the attorney will get a specified percent of the recovery proceeds, so you do not have to pay out of pocket.

A personal injury attorney can help negotiate settlements with insurance companies, negotiate subrogation claims with your health insurance company, file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf, and go to court if needed.

After an accident occurs, it is very important to call the police so that a police report is made and an independent investigation is done to determine who is at-fault for the crash. However, whoever does not follow the rules of the road will be deemed at-fault for the crash.
