Delaware County is one of Ohio’s fastest-growing counties, with suburbs spreading north from Columbus along I-71 and US-23. Major roadways, including I-71, US-23, US-36, and OH-315, carry heavy daily traffic from commuters, shoppers, and commercial vehicles moving between Columbus, Marion, and the Lake Erie region.
Accidents can happen anywhere, from busy intersections near Polaris Fashion Place and the Sawmill Parkway corridor to rural roads winding through the northern townships of the county. The crash volume on I-71 and US-23 alone makes Delaware County one of the busier accident areas in Central Ohio.
The Delaware County personal injury attorneys at Kisling, Nestico & Redick represent clients across the full range of injury cases that arise in this part of Ohio.
No two injury cases are exactly alike, which is why KNR takes the time to understand how the accident happened, how your injuries affect your daily life, and what it may take to fully recover physically and financially.
Car accidents are among the most common injury claims in Delaware County, especially along I-71, US-23, and US-36. With a mix of interstate traffic, growing suburban development, and busy commercial corridors, crashes frequently involve rear-end collisions at major intersections, distracted driving accidents on commuter routes, interstate crashes on I-71, lane-change collisions near Polaris Fashion Place exits, and multi-vehicle accidents involving commercial traffic.
After a serious crash, injured victims are often left dealing with mounting medical bills, missed work, and ongoing pain. KNR works to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the long-term effects an accident can have on your life.
I-71 is a major north-south freight corridor through Delaware County, carrying significant commercial truck traffic between Columbus, Cleveland, and the Great Lakes region. Accidents involving semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries and complex insurance disputes.
Truck accident cases may involve multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the freight broker, or the commercial insurer. KNR thoroughly investigates truck accident claims to identify all available insurance coverage and pursue maximum compensation for injured victims.
Delaware County’s mix of suburban and rural roads attracts motorcyclists across Central Ohio. Many motorcycle accidents happen because other drivers fail to check blind spots, misjudge distance, or fail to yield when turning left.
These crashes frequently result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Our attorneys help injured motorcyclists pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, long-term recovery needs, and other damages after a crash.
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors and customers. Slip-and-fall accidents can occur in:
Hazardous conditions such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, broken stairs, or poor lighting can lead to serious injuries. If unsafe property conditions caused your accident, KNR can help determine whether you may have a premises liability claim.
Medical negligence cases can arise from surgical mistakes, delayed diagnoses, medication errors, birth injuries, and other preventable healthcare failures. These claims often involve complex medical records and expert review, making early investigation especially important.
Ohio medical malpractice claims follow different filing deadlines from most personal injury cases. If you believe a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider caused your injury, speaking with an attorney as soon as possible can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
Ohio personal injury laws apply the same way in Delaware County as they do throughout the rest of the state. However, understanding how those laws affect your case can still be confusing, especially while recovering from injuries.
Ohio law generally gives injured victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline applies to most negligence-based injury claims, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall accidents, dog bite injuries, and many other situations in which another person’s carelessness caused harm.
While two years may seem like a long time, important evidence can disappear, and witness memories can fade much sooner. In addition, certain types of claims, including medical malpractice and wrongful death cases, may involve different filing deadlines, making it important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after a serious injury
Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means you may still recover compensation if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident.
However, your compensation may be reduced based on your share of the fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured victims, especially after crashes on rural roads and two-lane highways, where visibility at intersections or lane position can be disputed.
Unfortunately, many drivers in rural Ohio carry little or no insurance coverage. If the at-fault driver does not have enough insurance to cover your damages, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help provide compensation. KNR reviews every available insurance policy to identify all possible sources of recovery for injured clients.
If a lawsuit becomes necessary, personal injury claims in Delaware County are generally filed in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. While many cases settle before trial, our attorneys prepare every case as though it may ultimately go before a jury.
After an accident, dealing with insurance companies and legal paperwork can quickly become stressful and overwhelming. The Delaware County personal injury lawyers at Kisling, Nestico & Redick handle every stage of the claims process so you can focus on your recovery.
A strong personal injury case starts with a thorough investigation. Depending on the type of accident, our team may:

Insurance coverage is not always straightforward, especially in truck accident and commercial vehicle cases. Our attorneys investigate every potential source of compensation, including:
Truck accident claims on I-71 and other major roadways often involve multiple insurance carriers and complex policy disputes. KNR works to identify all available coverage and pursue the maximum compensation available for injured clients.
Medical records and financial documentation are critical in a personal injury claim. KNR works to fully document how your injuries have affected your health, finances, ability to work, and day-to-day life.
We regularly work with medical providers throughout Delaware County and the surrounding region, including OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s in Westerville, and local urgent care and specialist providers.
Compensation may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering caused by the accident.
Most personal injury claims settle through negotiations with insurance companies. However, insurers often attempt to minimize payouts or dispute the severity of injuries.
KNR handles all communication and negotiations with insurance adjusters on your behalf. If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and continue fighting for compensation through litigation.
