Located along the western shore of Lake Erie, Lucas County is one of northwest Ohio’s busiest regions. Home to more than 425,000 residents, the county includes the City of Toledo, as well as growing suburban communities and major industrial and transportation corridors.
When negligence causes injury, Ohio law gives victims the right to seek compensation for their losses. Whether you were injured in a vehicle collision, on unsafe property, or because of another person’s careless actions, working with an experienced Lucas County personal injury lawyer can help protect your rights from the very beginning.
No two injury claims are exactly alike. Different accidents require different investigations, evidence, and legal strategies. At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, we represent clients in a wide range of personal injury matters and tailor our approach to the unique circumstances of every case.
Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries throughout Lucas County. Heavy commuter traffic, congested intersections, construction zones, and distracted driving all contribute to collisions across the area.
Many collisions result from preventable driver negligence, including:
Our attorneys work to identify every liable party, gather evidence before it disappears, consult with accident reconstruction experts when necessary, and pursue compensation for both your immediate and future losses.
Lucas County serves as one of northwest Ohio’s most important transportation hubs. Commercial trucks travel through the region every day using Interstate 75, the Ohio Turnpike, Interstate 280, and routes connecting the Port of Toledo with manufacturers and distribution centers throughout the Midwest.
Because of their size and weight, tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles can cause devastating injuries in collisions. These cases are often more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple parties may share responsibility, including trucking companies, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and vehicle manufacturers.
Having an experienced Toledo truck accident attorney preserve evidence and conduct an independent investigation can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim.
Motorcyclists enjoy many scenic roads throughout Lucas County, from routes along the Maumee River to highways connecting surrounding communities. Unfortunately, riders also face significant risks because motorcycles provide far less protection than passenger vehicles.
Motorcycle accident victims often suffer severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and permanent disabilities. These injuries frequently require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, preventing victims from returning to work for months or even years.
At KNR, our motorcycle accident lawyers work to ensure injured riders are treated fairly and that insurance companies do not unfairly shift blame simply because someone was operating a motorcycle.
Property owners throughout Lucas County have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for lawful visitors. When they fail to correct known hazards or provide adequate warnings, serious injuries can occur.
Hazardous conditions may include wet floors, broken sidewalks, uneven pavement, inadequate lighting, loose handrails, icy walkways, or poorly maintained staircases.
Premises liability claims often require prompt investigation before dangerous conditions are repaired or surveillance footage is lost. Our attorneys work quickly to preserve evidence, identify responsible parties, and build a strong claim for compensation.
Patients trust doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to deliver competent medical care. While many providers meet the accepted standard of care, preventable medical errors continue to cause serious injuries throughout Ohio each year.
When a healthcare professional’s negligence leads to harm, injured patients may have grounds to pursue a medical malpractice claim. KNR’s medical malpractice lawyers work with qualified medical experts to evaluate whether a provider failed to meet the applicable standard of care and how that failure contributed to a patient’s injuries.
Losing a loved one because of another person’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. While no legal action can undo that loss, a wrongful death claim may provide financial security while holding the responsible party accountable.
Wrongful death cases may arise from:
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, our wrongful death attorneys understand the sensitivity of these cases and work closely with families to handle the legal process while they focus on healing.
The steps you take after an accident can affect both your health and your ability to recover compensation. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important to protect yourself from the very beginning.
If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, consider taking the following steps:
Your health should always come first. Prompt medical treatment creates a record of your injuries while helping identify conditions that may not produce immediate symptoms, such as concussions, internal injuries, or soft tissue damage.
Depending on the type of accident, this may involve contacting local law enforcement, notifying a property owner or business manager, or filing an incident report. Official documentation can become valuable evidence later in your claim.
If you’re able, take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, hazardous conditions, visible injuries, and anything else that may help explain what happened. Gather contact information for witnesses whenever possible.
Insurance adjusters often contact injured individuals shortly after an accident. While they may seem helpful, their goal is typically to minimize the amount their company pays.
Avoid giving recorded statements or accepting a settlement before understanding the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept a settlement, you may lose the ability to seek additional compensation if your condition worsens.
An attorney can explain your legal options, preserve critical evidence, communicate with insurance companies on your behalf, and help you pursue the compensation available under Ohio law.
Every personal injury case is different, but several Ohio laws frequently affect injury claims throughout Lucas County.
Ohio law generally limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing the applicable deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation altogether.
Although many injury claims share similar filing deadlines, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of your case. Speaking with an attorney early helps ensure important deadlines are not overlooked.
Not every accident is entirely one person’s fault. Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning an injured person may still recover compensation if they were partially responsible for the accident, provided their share of fault does not exceed the legal threshold.
However, any compensation awarded may be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to the injured party. Insurance companies often try to shift more blame onto victims to reduce what they pay, making a thorough investigation essential.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages often include:
Non-economic damages may include:
Every case is unique, and the value of a claim depends on factors such as the severity of the injuries, available insurance coverage, and the long-term impact the accident has had on your life.
Successfully recovering compensation often requires much more than filing an insurance claim. Our attorneys conduct detailed investigations to identify liable parties, preserve evidence, and build the strongest possible case.
When you hire KNR, we may:
Insurance companies have experienced legal teams working to protect their financial interests. Having an attorney on your side helps level the playing field while allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Throughout the process, our goal is to keep you informed, answer your questions, and pursue the best possible outcome based on the facts of your case.
Choosing the right attorney after an accident can have a significant impact on your recovery, both financially and personally. You need a legal team with the experience, resources, and commitment to stand up to insurance companies while keeping your best interests at the center of every decision.
For more than two decades, Kisling, Nestico & Redick has helped injury victims throughout Ohio recover compensation after serious accidents.

When you work with KNR, you can expect:
Every injury claim deserves individual attention. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we take the time to understand how your injuries have affected your health, finances, career, and daily life so we can pursue compensation that reflects the full extent of your losses.
Kisling, Nestico & Redick represents injury victims across Lucas County and the surrounding communities. Whether your accident occurred in a busy commercial district, a residential neighborhood, on a major highway, or at a local business, our attorneys are prepared to help.
We regularly assist clients in:
Our attorneys also represent clients who have been injured throughout northwest Ohio. If your injuries make travel difficult, we can discuss flexible meeting options and guide you through each stage of your claim.
The value of every personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, whether you missed work, and how the accident has affected your daily life. An attorney can review the details of your case and provide a better understanding of the compensation that may be available.
Ohio law establishes deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits, known as statutes of limitations. Because exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of your case, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing important legal deadlines.
You may still be able to recover compensation under Ohio’s comparative negligence laws. However, the amount you recover could be reduced based on your percentage of fault, which is why it’s important to have an attorney challenge unsupported allegations made by insurance companies.
It’s generally a good idea to speak with an attorney before accepting any settlement. Initial offers often fail to account for future medical treatment, ongoing lost income, or the long-term effects of serious injuries. Once you accept a settlement, you typically cannot seek additional compensation for the same accident.
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses resulting from your injuries.
Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiated settlements. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, KNR is prepared to take your case to trial and advocate for your interests in court.
KNR handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront attorney fees, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
After a serious accident, the decisions you make can affect your health, your finances, and your future. Having experienced legal guidance can make a meaningful difference as you pursue compensation and focus on your recovery.
Our attorneys proudly represent injury victims throughout Lucas County and across Ohio. We’ll evaluate your case, explain your legal options, handle the insurance companies, and work to recover the compensation you deserve.
