What Type of Damages Can I Collect in a Personal Injury Case?
Under Ohio law, anyone who has been injured due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional acts or behavior of another party or parties is entitled to financial damages for the losses their injuries have caused them. Although this may seem like this should be a simple process, the reality is that the process is anything but straightforward. This is why many injured victims turn to personal injury attorneys from Brenner Law Offices for legal help.
There are three types of damages that can be pursued in a personal injury claim or lawsuit: economic, non-economic, and punitive. The damages you are entitled to and the amount you receive all depend on the circumstances of your case.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are those that have a definitive dollar amount attached. One of the most common economic damages accident victims are awarded are those that are associated with the medical treatment they receive for their injuries. These expenses can include:
- Emergency Room Treatment
- Hospitalizations
- Surgeries
- Diagnostic Testing
- Doctors’ Visits
- Rehabilitation Services (including physical and occupational therapy)
- Medical Equipment and Devices
- Medications
- Travel expenses for Medical Treatments
If the victim is left with long-term or permanent disabilities, any settlement or award can also include the cost of those future medical expenses.
Another economic damage that is recoverable in a personal injury claim is lost wages. Many accident victims are unable to work while they recover from their injuries, often without the necessary paid time off. This means they can go weeks, or even months, without any income. This medical leave can also affect their benefits, including health insurance, 401(k) contributions, and other benefit programs they may participate in.
A personal injury lawyer can include lost wages in a personal injury claim or lawsuit. And just like medical expenses, if the victim is left disabled and unable to return to their profession, they may also be entitled to compensation for loss of future income.
Non-Economic Damages
Accident victims also suffer many losses that do not have a dollar amount attached, yet they are still entitled to some type of compensation under Ohio law. Some of these losses include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional Anguish
- Permanent Disability
- Loss of Life Enjoyment
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
Your personal injury will calculate the amount you are entitled to for these types of losses based on the amount of economic damages you suffered, the length of recovery time, and any other factors they deem appropriate.
Punitive Damages
In some accidents, the actions of the at-fault party that caused the incident are so egregious that the law says they need to be punished. Punitive damages are also meant to send a message to society that these types of acts are not tolerated. For example, punitive damages are often awarded in drunk driving accidents. Drivers know it is against the law to get behind the wheel of their vehicle drunk, so to do so, and then cause an accident that harms another, is unacceptable in our society.
Motor Vehicle Accidents and Insurance Claims
Attorney Todd Brenner has substantial experience in many aspects of personal injury law, including motor vehicle and trucking accidents, back and brain injuries, wrongful death, premises liability and uninsured motorists claims. Todd has over twenty-five years of experience defending both injury and insurance claims, but has also represented many individuals seeking compensation for their injuries and damages for insurance claim denials. In 2019, Todd was recognized as one of the Top 100 Personal Injury Attorneys in Ohio, an accomplishment achieved by less than 1% of active attorneys.
As our testimonials demonstrate, Todd has gained the confidence and admiration of the clients he has represented over the years. He prides himself on providing valuable insight on every case and offers direct and candid advice for each and every client. No two cases are the same, and when engaging an attorney, it is important to know that your attorney has not only the experience but the candor to express both the strengths and weaknesses of that particular case.
Answers To Your
Frequently Asked Questions
Our firm offers over 25 years of experience in helping people through some of the most difficult chapters of their lives. We understand the confusion and pain you must be feeling, and we’re here to help in any way we can. The following are answers to some of the most common questions we get from our clients. If you need more specific information or personalized legal advice, we invite you to reach out and set up a free consultation with out team.
Is Ohio a no-fault accident state?
No, Ohio is an at-fault state for car accidents.
This means that the driver who caused the accident is responsible for covering damages through their insurance. Ohio also follows a modified comparative negligence rule—if you’re found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. Our attorneys at Brenner Law Offices help clients prove fault and push back against insurance companies that try to shift blame or reduce payouts unfairly.
What injuries are hard to prove?
Injuries like soft tissue damage, chronic pain, and psychological trauma are often harder to prove than visible or catastrophic injuries.
Because these conditions may not show up clearly on imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, insurance companies often challenge their severity or legitimacy. At Brenner Law Offices, we work closely with medical professionals to document the true impact of these injuries and present a strong, evidence-backed case. We also gather expert opinions and testimony to validate your experience and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Do truck drivers pay for accidents?
Truck drivers can be held personally liable, but most accident claims are paid through the trucking company’s insurance.
If the driver was working within the scope of their employment, the company is usually responsible under vicarious liability laws. However, in cases of gross negligence, such as driving under the influence, the driver may be held individually accountable as well. Our Ohio truck accident lawyers at Brenner Law Offices investigate thoroughly to determine all liable parties and pursue every avenue for compensation.
What evidence should be admitted in a wrongful death suit?
Key evidence in a wrongful death suit includes medical records, accident reports, expert testimony, and proof of financial and emotional losses.
In Ohio, plaintiffs must show that the death was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongful act. This often involves proving liability, causation, and the damages suffered by surviving family members. Our wrongful death attorneys at Brenner Law Offices help gather and present compelling evidence to support your claim and seek justice on behalf of your loved one.
How long does an insurance company have to settle a claim in Ohio?
Ohio law requires insurance companies to handle claims promptly, but specific timeframes can vary based on the type of claim and the circumstances.
Under Ohio Administrative Code § 3901-1-54, insurers must acknowledge receipt of a claim within 15 days and provide necessary claim forms and instructions. Once the insurer receives the completed proof of loss forms, they have 21 days to accept or deny the claim. If the claim is approved, payment should be made within 10 days. This process totals approximately 46 days from the initial claim filing, assuming all documentation is promptly submitted and no delays occur.
However, these timelines can be extended if additional information is needed or if there are complexities in the claim. Delays beyond these periods may be considered unfair claims practices under Ohio law. At Brenner Law Offices, our attorneys are well-versed in Ohio’s insurance regulations and can assist you in ensuring that your claim is handled fairly and within the appropriate timeframes.
