What bressman law does

Bressman Law is a Columbus, Ohio-headquartered personal injury law firm founded in 1984 that represents Ohio residents in negligence-based injury and wrongful death claims. Its practice spans vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian), traumatic brain injury and concussions, toxic torts (toxic mold, Legionella, chemical exposure), dog bites, product liability, construction accidents, slip-and-fall, and wrongful death. The firm operates from three Ohio locations — Columbus (headquarters), Dublin, and Cincinnati — and publicly markets statewide service across additional markets including Toledo, Dayton, Cleveland, and Akron.

The firm runs on a contingency fee model: clients pay no upfront fees and the firm is compensated as a percentage of recovery only if the case is won. Acquisition is primarily referral-based (from prior clients, peer attorneys, and healthcare providers) and supplemented by a multi-channel marketing mix that includes an educational blog, SEO-optimized practice-area pages, a free "Auto Collisions: Knowledge Is Power" guide and Crash Kit, annual TBI and Safe Roads Policy scholarships, earned media appearances on NBC4, NPR, 10TV, ABC6, and FOX28, and a 5.0 Google rating across 310 reviews. The legal team of three named attorneys (David A. Bressman, Jedidiah Bressman, Richard P. Bogetich III) plus two paralegals/staff (Karen Bressman, Candace Spencer) is presented as carrying over 40 years of combined courtroom experience, with disclosed results including a $6.75M industrial amputation settlement, a $5M wrongful death settlement, and a $2M TBI settlement.

There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm is described as a traditional personal injury practice. Recent strategic emphasis has been on broadening the practice-area surface (especially toxic torts and TBI), expanding Ohio-wide geographic coverage, and participating in higher-profile mass-tort matters — most notably co-counsel representation with Just Well Law, PLLC on the Ohio State University Lawrence Tower mold litigation (announced January 2025) involving 50+ student plaintiffs.
