Is Ohio a Fault or No-Fault Car Accident State?

Ohio is a fault-car accident state. It uses a tort system, meaning the person or party guilty of a tort (wrongdoing) is financially responsible for the car crash. In a no-fault state, on the other hand, all injured parties will pursue benefits from their own insurance carriers, regardless of fault.

Before you file an insurance claim in Ohio, you or your car accident attorney must determine fault for the collision. Then, you must prove that party is liable through a preponderance of the evidence – enough evidence to establish fault as more likely than not to be true. A lawyer can help you with this task by gathering evidence and presenting it to an insurance company on your behalf.

Common Injuries Suffered in Auto Accidents

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries to every part of the body. Some of the most common injuries suffered are:

  • Broken bones
  • Muscle strains
  • Whiplash
  • Concussions
  • Brain injuries
  • Back and spine injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Burns
  • Internal injuries

If you have been diagnosed with any type of injury after an auto accident, you may be eligible for financial compensation for your medical bills and other losses.
