It is always important when in an accident to get the police to respond and write a citation when breaking a law caused property damage. To fight this case you will need proof that the other driver ran the light such as the traffic citation and/or several witness' testimony. If the other company claims no fault there must be no proof of violation by their driver.
No it is not a no fault state. Ohio is a tort state meaning that someone must be found to be at fault in each accident.

After a car accident, one must immediately contact their insurance company to file an auto accident insurance claim, even when the other driver was at fault. Make sure to have all the other driver's insurance information so that the other company can thoroughly investigate.
In a case of word vs word and no witness or other proof on either side, the insurance company has a responsibility to their insured and must take their version of the accident, in which case, they would deny the claim to the other party in the accident. what if the at fault driver admits her fault but insists to settle outside of her insurance, but meanwhile refuses to pay for the damages
CONCERNING TIME RESTRAINTS ON REPORTING AN ACCIDENT, THE REASONING BEHIND REPORTING IT IS THE QUESTION. FOR INJURY CLAIMS, THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF PHYSICIAN FOLLOW-UP ASAP. FOR REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE CLAIMS, THEY MUST BE MADE WITHIN 2-3 DAYS REASONABLY.
You must do this right away.
If you are NOT at fault you have no responsibility and the vehicles insurance company that is at fault must pay all damages and costs including a rental car. If you are at fault it depends on the vehicles insurance policy if it covers alternate drivers.
yes, if your states liability statue is a ''comparative negligent' state which it must be.........
In any weather you must maintain control of your vehicle. If you cannot stop and you hit anything, you are at fault. The car with the wrecked front is at fault. The car with the wrecked back end is not at fault.
all insurance policys must conform to the statue of the state they are in...ie...Missouri is pure comparative neg.state, ks, is a 49/51% no fault, if i take my Missouri car/policy to ks, and get in an accident, then the Missouri policy must conform to the kansas law
While weather and road conditions are factored towards accident causing, is always the drivers fault when an accident occurs as a result of these conditions. The theory behind this is that every driver must still maintain control of their vehicle, including, if necessary, slowing down or not even driving under these conditions.
