The increase in fatalities and the growing number of person injuries—2,559 in 2022—underscores the need for a skilled personal injury lawyer in Zanesville, Ohio.

Determining Liability in Serious Injury Car Accidents

Typically, the driver at fault for an accident is liable for damages.

Fault can be attributed to various causes, including:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Texting and driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Road rage
  • Falling asleep at the wheel
  • Failing to yield 

Less commonly, accidents may be caused by dangerous road conditions or even design or manufacturing defects in the vehicles themselves.

If a car accident is caused by someone driving a company-owned vehicle or driving in the course of employment, the company that employs the driver could be liable. 

A thorough investigation following an accident can determine the responsible party or parties. In some cases, multiple parties are responsible and financially liable.

Why You Need a Qualified Zanesville Personal Injury Lawyer After a Major Injury or Fatal Car Accident

Your insurance company may lead you to believe they will fully take care of everything related to your claim following an accident.

However, it’s crucial to remember that insurance claims representatives are in the business of settling claims, often for as little as possible.

A personal injury attorney in Zanesville, Ohio, who advocates for your rights and interests can be a powerful ally in ensuring you are fairly and fully compensated.

Securing Maximum Compensation for Your Injuries

When choosing a personal injury attorney following an accident, ask your potential lawyer about their track record.

Have they taken cases to trial before a judge or jury?
