When you are involved in a car crash, we recommend you:
¿Qué debo hacer tras un accidente de tráfico?
The most important question after a crash is who is liable for your injuries. A liable party is a person, business, or municipality required to compensate you for your physical, psychological, and financial injuries. This party may or may not be the driver behind the other car’s wheel.
The person at fault for the collision is the driver that was most negligent. Drivers are required to behave as a reasonably prudent person would under the circumstances. When a driver violates a traffic law or behaves carelessly behind the wheel, they are negligent. If this negligence leads to a crash and another person’s injuries, the driver is at fault and liable for the injuries.
When another driver causes a crash and your injuries, you will typically file a third-party claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. However, if the driver was in another person or business’s vehicle, whether the vehicle was rented or borrowed, then the car owner’s liability policy may apply to the crash and your injuries. One of our auto accident lawyers in Cincinnati will pursue additional compensation from the owner’s policy.
Was the at-fault driver working at the time of the crash? If the driver was on duty and driving as part of their work responsibilities when they caused the accident, then that driver’s employer is liable for your injuries. Your Cincinnati car accident attorney will pursue compensation under the business’s liability policy, which, to your benefit, may have a much higher policy limit.
In Ohio, alcohol servers can be held liable for accidents caused by drunk drivers if the person or business sold or provided alcohol to someone under 21 years old or someone who was noticeably intoxicated. If we discover the at-fault driver was also drunk at the time of the collision, we will investigate where the driver obtained alcohol just prior to the crash and pursue legal action against that party.
A vehicle defect may have been responsible for the crash instead of driver negligence. If our investigation uncovers a vehicle defect, we will pursue compensation through a product liability claim against the vehicle manufacturer or retailer.
Your accident, or the severity of the accident, may have been due to road hazards such as improperly placed construction equipment, potholes, or poorly designed roads. If poor roadway design or road hazards caused your crash, we may pursue a claim against the local government or construction business. This requires an experienced accident attorney to navigate the process of claiming against the city, county, or state.
If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in Hamilton County or anywhere in Ohio, the state gives you two years to file a lawsuit. This time limit does not apply to your insurance claim. When you wish to seek a car accident settlement, you need to provide notice to the insurer right away.
If you wait several months or over a year, your claim will likely be denied. This is one of many reasons it is important to talk with a Cincinnati car accident attorney right away.
Cincinnati is a bustling city with heavy traffic, especially during rush hours on major roads like I-75, I-71, and I-275. This congestion contributes to some of the most common causes of car accidents, which include:

Cincinnati is home to many has dangerous roads and intersections, where, unfortunately, many people are hurt in car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents, because of negligent drivers.

Lucha por todo lo que te corresponde
Medical care and rehab for car accident injuries are often long-term and expensive, leaving many unprepared to cover these expenses upfront. If another party caused your injury – you shouldn’t have to bear those costs alone.
Whether it is through a personal injury lawsuit or insurance settlement, the attorneys at KNR have helped numerous Cincinnati car accident victims obtain what they need.
For instance, we recently helped a passenger in Hamilton County secure compensation after being injured when their vehicle was struck by a motorist who failed to obey a stop sign.
You may be able to recover compensation for:
Through an insurance settlement or a court award, your car accident compensation should encompass your special and general damages.

These are the economic losses you suffered. This includes your medical expenses and other out-of-pocket costs associated with the crash and your injuries. It also includes the money you did not make because of your injuries, including lost wages, employment benefits, and a lower earning capacity.
These are your non-economic injuries, like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress. The value of these injuries is subjective and means proving what you endured. We may ask you to keep a daily journal regarding your pain and the psychological consequences of your injuries.
If the at-fault party’s conduct was particularly egregious, you might be entitled to punitive damages. These are not meant to compensate you for an injury. Instead, they are meant to punish the wrongdoer.
Your loved one may have initially survived the car accident only to pass away later. Because they lived for a period, they had a right to pursue a personal injury claim from the date of the accident to the date of their death.
While their death stopped them from doing so, the claim itself survives. The estate can pursue the compensation they would have been entitled to during their life through a survival action.
If your relative passed away immediately, then there is no personal injury claim. Instead, you and your family have a wrongful death claim to pursue. This covers your mental anguish, the loss of their income, services, and companionship.
Insurance claims after collisions do not always proceed smoothly for accident victims. You may encounter a number of issues while you pursue a car accident settlement, such as:
One of the toughest issues to overcome is the lack of insurance coverage. The at-fault driver may not have a policy. In this situation, we will look for other policies, such as insurance purchased by the car owner or employer. We may also help you pursue a settlement based on your insurance policy or through a personal injury lawsuit.
You may have hope that your car accident claim will be resolved fairly until you receive a letter in the mail saying your claim for compensation has been denied. You should immediately talk with a Cincinnati car accident lawyer about why this denial occurred and how to appeal the decision. We have handled and overcome many initial wrongful insurance claim denials.
Ohio law requires the insurer to treat you fairly when you pursue compensation through a first or third-party insurance claim. The insurer cannot lie or try to manipulate you. Unfortunately, some insurance adjusters fail to handle your claim in good faith.
An adjuster may delay your claim, fail to properly investigate your claim, wrongfully deny your claim, or refuse to settle your claim for an appropriate amount. Any time you fear you are being treated unfairly by the insurer, give us a call to address these bad faith insurance practices.
Your insurance claim process may appear to go smoothly until the adjuster sends its first settlement offer. You may balk at the amount or learn from your accident attorney that this will not cover all of your past and future expenses. Having a car accident lawyer in Cincinnati who is prepared to vigorously negotiate a higher settlement is important. We have years of experience dealing with insurance companies.
The purpose of auto insurance and an insurance claim after a crash is to resolve your situation with a settlement. This settlement should cover your property damage, medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other physical, psychological, and financial injuries. In exchange for you accepting the settlement, you agree to not file or dismiss an ongoing lawsuit against the liable party.
Car accident settlements are not always easy to get after a crash. Insurance companies may initially wrongfully deny your claim. Or, what is often the case, the insurance adjuster will offer a settlement that is lower than the full value of your damages. A Cincinnati car accident lawyer will spot a lowball offer right away and will begin negotiations. In many cases, we can negotiate a far better sum for our clients than the first offer.
However, car accident settlements are not always possible or forthcoming. You may benefit from filing a personal injury lawsuit and preparing for trial in these situations.

If you wish to take your personal injury claim to court, you must have evidence that the other party had a legal duty, failed to uphold that legal duty (was negligent), and this failure led to the crash and your injuries.
You will be required to provide evidence that the other party was negligent. You have to show a direct causal link between this negligence and the collision. Then, you also have to prove the type and extent of your injuries.
Your auto accident attorney in Cincinnati will prepare to prove each of these elements by gathering as much evidence as possible. This will include the police report, any pictures and videos of the crash or its aftermath, any eyewitnesses’ statements, and your medical records.We will investigate the driver’s background, including their medical record, determining whether they were working at the time of the crash, and determining whether they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. KNR will also look into the vehicle and research whether there were any active recalls.
At a certain point, some critical information will be under another party’s control, like the insurance company or the at-fault driver. This is why the discovery phase is so important. During this time, the parties exchange information through interrogatories, requests for documents, depositions, and other legal tools.We will send the liable party interrogatories, which are questions they may answer completely and accurately. We will send requests for documents to obtain important business records. And we will schedule depositions, which allow us to question relevant people and obtain their out-of-court statements before trial.
We may determine that one or more experts would help your case during investigation and discovery. Our accident attorneys may hire an expert to help prove the other party was responsible for the crash, such as an accident reconstructionist or engineer. Or, we may hire an expert to establish the type and extent of your injuries. This may require bringing in a doctor who specializes in your kind of injury.Also, if you suffered serious or catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injuries, we may have to prove your future damages. We may hire vocational and economic experts to establish your earning capacity after the accident and the financial losses you will incur throughout the rest of your life.
