Your Rights If Injured in a Car Accident
If you have been injured in a car accident you have certain rights. The most specific right is your right in Ohio to recover compensation (monetary damages) to make up for your injuries.Here is a list of the damages recoverable for your personal injury:1. reasonable and necesssary value of medical expense2. lost time from employment even if you used sick time3. Pain and suffering reulting from your injuries4. Loss of enjoyment of life. This is different that pain abd suffering. This compensates you for not being able to perform your activities you enjoy.5. disfigurment if you have scarrring from your injury.Unfortunately the insurance company for the person who injured you is not obligated to pay these damage until a verdict is obtained against their insured. So you need to be aware of other sources of possible recovery. A personal injury lawyer can fully explain your rights , how to protect them , and maximize your right to fair compensation.Of course you also have the right to recover property damage. Lawyers normally do not take a fee out of this recovery as the insurance companies will resolve property damage to avoid further and additional expense.
