Whether you live in Marietta, Belpre, Devola, or elsewhere in Washington County, a lawyer gives you control over your case. Working with an attorney increases your chance of recovering compensation. There are other benefits to hiring a personal injury lawyer.
There are many types of personal injury accidents, but they often share the same cause: negligence. When one person fails to uphold their duty of care, others get hurt. A skilled attorney obtains and examines evidence of liability. Although the burden of proof in personal injury is less stringent than in criminal cases, you must show a preponderance of evidence toward negligence.
You could recover economic and non-economic damages for an accident that was not your fault. Monetary damages include specific costs, such as medical bills or a tow truck. Non-economic damages are less tangible, such as pain and suffering. An attorney takes an objective, experienced review of your injuries, prognosis, and losses.
An attorney arrives at an amount designed to cover your damages, but most insurance companies make a lowball offer. With our experience in the insurance industry, KNR understands how to negotiate for maximum compensation. Negotiation goes back and forth until the insurer meets our demands or it’s clear that your case is heading to court.

KNR is here for you, with dedicated legal care and a commitment to recovering the max for your damages. Here are a few common questions that injured people like you often ask.
The Ohio statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury or accident. If you miss this deadline, you lose your chance to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.
Many personal injury lawsuits begin as insurance claims. When negotiations break down, it might be time to contact a lawyer about legal action.
Do not discuss fault with the insurance company. Insurance companies look for reasons to deny your claim. At the very least, admitting fault can reduce your compensation. It’s a good idea to talk to an attorney before speaking with the insurance company.
Determining fault is the essence of a successful insurance claim. An attorney with KNR has the resources to investigate the cause, identify all liable parties, and gather the necessary evidence to establish liability.
Take pictures at the accident scene. Include photos or videos of property damage and potential causes of the accident. You can also take pictures of your injuries.
Ask people who witnessed the accident if they will make a statement. Testimony from those at the scene can help you get compensated.
Police reports officially document the injury or accident. Some reports identify what the officer determines as the suspected cause or at-fault party.
Although less severe injuries might not require emergency room care, you should still seek medical attention. Don’t hesitate to get help even if you do not have health insurance. An attorney can pursue compensation for your care from the at-fault party’s insurance.
Medical documentation is a critical component in proving your injuries. Complete any follow-up doctor appointments or treatment to avoid jeopardizing a settlement. Insurance companies view a delay in seeking treatment or incomplete treatment as a reason to deny payment.

Negligence describes someone who fails to act with the level of care that a reasonable person would in a similar situation. For example, a reasonable person would stop at a red light.
Other examples of negligence in car accidents include:
If you cannot work after your car accident, you could collect lost wages from the at-fault driver’s insurance. However, insurers only pay up to the policy limit. Severe injuries and a long absence from work could exhaust these funds. You might have to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect additional damages.
Accidents create physical, emotional, and financial harm. You might feel overwhelmed when faced with the insurance claims process. The insurance adjuster could be pressuring you into a cheap, fast settlement. You probably have questions about how much your case is worth.
