Who Is Liable for Your Injury?
In Ohio, all persons, businesses, and entities have a legal duty to act reasonably in every situation. When a person or entity breaches this duty, they are liable for any damages that result. This means that you can file a personal injury case against anyone or any company that played a part in causing your injury. In some cases, multiple parties may be held liable for the damages.
You may be able to seek compensation if you or a loved one were injured due to:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Dog Bites
- Wrongful Death
Determining When to Sue for Personal Injury
Before filing a personal injury lawsuit, certain elements must be proven:
- The individual responsible for your injury owed you a duty of care.
- The individual breached that duty of care, thereby contributing to your injuries.
- Your injuries have caused you harm, whether financial or emotional.
