FAQ
What are my rights after a crash?
In Ohio, you can seek compensation for your damages if you were hurt in a car accident caused by another’s negligence. You have the right to get paid for the damage done to your vehicle, any time off work you have had to take as a result of the accident, medical bills, and your pain and suffering, for the ways your life has been affected. Insurance companies will bombard you, trying to get you to settle for far less than you are entitled to. You have the right to have someone negotiate for you, with your interests at heart.

-You have the right to be reimbursed for lost wages
-You have the right to be reimbursed for expenses you would not have otherwise incurred, such as Uber trips, assistance or child care that you are unable to perform, reimbursement for any pre-paid activities or vacations that you are unable to attend or reimbursement for a gym membership while you recover
-You have the right to be reimbursed for your medical bills
-You have the right to be reimbursed for anything lost or damaged in the accident
-You have the right to be reimbursed for any damage to your vehicle, any property damaged within the vehicle (car seat, cell phone screen, clothing damaged or stained related to the crash, even your dinner if it becomes contaminated)
-You have the right to be reimbursed for pain and suffering. This requires documentation or collaborative effort with Kats Law to make sure you all of your pain and suffering is accounted for but could include things like aspects of your daily life you no longer can participate in, or gain enjoyment out of, such as coaching/participation in your children’s activities, exercise, etc.

What happens if I am in a car accident and do not have car insurance?

It is important that you consult with Kats Law as soon as possible to help navigate these early crucial decisions. Don’t lose hope! We will help you look for every available insurance policy to maximize your settlement.
What happens if I am in a car accident and the other party does not have insurance?
If you are in a car accident where the other driver has no, or too little, insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation to pay for your losses. However, most insurance companies limit the amount of time policyholders have to make uninsured or underinsured motorist claims, so you want to start the process as soon as possible. Call Kats Law and we will investigate every possible opportunity, so you do not lose your rights!
How much money is typically collected in personal injury and car accident cases?
Every settlement is different as every person is different. The ways in which your life is affected may be vastly different from the ways in which other people’s lives are affected. This can greatly affect the range of compensation received. Consulting with a lawyer early on in the process can help ensure you recover the maximum amount for your damages.
How do I deal with paying medical bills and medical claims?
Many medical providers will accept a letter from an attorney in order to forego initial billing cycles and wait for recovery from an insurance company. Insurance policies sometimes include “medical payments” which will assist in paying medical bills while you obtain treatment and a lawyer negotiates your settlement.
BEWARE!!!!!! Health Insurance or Medical Payment coverage have the right to be reimbursed. Call Kats Law so we can help you identify those parties! You don’t want to owe money after being injured!
