Driver was either only listed as at fault..will my license get suspended..am now current on tags and license..do i have any recourse for damages.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's possible you could have a basis for recovery - but only an Ohio attorney could advise for certain what types of damages are included or excluded. In many jurisdictions, those violations on your part could limit certain remedies. Some jurisdictions permit recovery for economic losses, but exclude pain and suffering. You could reach out to local attorneys. Many attorneys who handle these types of cases offer free initial consults. Good luck
