Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

It's hard to say. In Ohio it depends on various issues such as whether your bills were paid by health insurance, was there wage loss, how long were you suffering from your injuries and of course how serious your injuries were. I can't give you an evaluation without that info. If it was just some bumps and bruises I'd guestimate aroung $5-7,000.00. I'm concerned that your injuries might be permanent or long lasting due to the severe nature of the impact ($9K in property damage). It may be premature to settle your case if you are still suffering from your injuries to any extent. Once you settle your case you cannot re-open your case in the future if you still haven't recovered. It would be wise for you to discuss this case with an attorney. I'll be glad to give you a more detailed analysis if you'd like to contact me at my office: 216-781-2600.

It sounds like you have a pretty good case but it is difficult to say what a reasonable settlement figure would be without more information. For example, are you going to need follow up care with another doctor? Are you still suffering from this injury? Has the injury affected your daily activities? These questions and more would need to be answered.
