🚗🦃 Thanksgiving Week Car Crashes in Ohio: What Happens to Your ER Bills & Lost Wages?
Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest — and most dangerous — travel periods in Ohio. Between packed highways, unpredictable weather, fatigue, and impaired driving, crashes spike significantly during the holiday. And when they do, victims are often left facing two major concerns:
👉 How do I cover my ER bills?
👉 How do I recover lost wages while I’m unable to work?
Here’s what to know:
💡 Covering ER Bills After a Crash
Ohio uses a fault-based system, but you may still have several options to help cover emergency room costs, including:
• MedPay through your auto policy (covers bills regardless of fault)
• PIP coverage, if included in your policy
• Health insurance, which may help if auto coverage isn’t enough
💡 Recovering Lost Wages
If injuries keep you from working, you may be able to pursue:
• Wage reimbursement through PIP (if included)
• A liability claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance
• Other compensation depending on the circumstances of your case
Dealing with insurance companies during the holidays — especially while recovering — can feel overwhelming. That’s where having support matters.
At Ryan Injury Attorneys, we help crash victims understand their options, gather the right evidence, and pursue fair compensation for medical costs and lost income.
