In light of the recent Ohio Turnpike snowplow incident that affected 40 cars and injured 12 people, News 5 Investigators wanted to let you know what you should do if your car is damaged or if you’re hurt because of a snowplow.
“Yes, you do have rights. Don’t let anyone tell you you don’t have rights,” said Ladi Williams, who is an attorney with Merriman Legal in Cleveland. He told us he couldn’t believe the turnpike snowplow video.
He said the first thing to do is if just your car is damaged and you have full insurance coverage, you should talk to your insurance company. If you don’t have full coverage, reach out to the entity that did it. For example, the Ohio Turnpike has a section on its site for damage claims. “Negligently driving or operating that vehicle in any way, shape or form and causes you injury, death or anything else — they’re responsible,” said Williams.
“A snowplow causing a crash does not have the same protection as an emergency vehicle as long as that emergency vehicle is on an actual emergency run,” he said.“Sometimes within a day or two you might hear from someone saying, ‘Hey, let’s take care of that real quick…’ before you’ve gotten any kind of medical treatment or anything like that,” he told us.
