Common Questions for the Injured

KNR has helped more than 10,000 accident victims, and we are here to help you, too. If you need specific answers regarding your case after reading these frequently asked questions, please reach out.

What is the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit?

You have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio. The clock starts on the date of your injury, and it takes time to prepare a case. You should contact a personal injury lawyer serving Cadiz as soon as you can.

Should I admit fault in my injury case?

Ohio has complex liability and negligence laws. It is best to leave their interpretation up to an experienced lawyer. Let an attorney with Kisling, Nestico & Redick talk to the insurance company on your behalf. Any mention of fault on your part could jeopardize potential compensation.

How does an attorney determine fault?

Most personal injury accidents are preventable. Whether it is a careless truck driver or an uneven walkway, your injuries are likely caused by someone failing to uphold their duty of care. An attorney collects evidence that proves the other party’s negligence.

Photos & Videos

Whenever possible, we encourage accident victims to take pictures at the scene. These pictures should show potential causes that an attorney might use as evidence of liability, such as skid marks or a missing handrail. You may also take photos of your injuries.

Witness Statements

Get the name and contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident. Even if the police do not question them, a personal injury lawyer may interview witnesses later and submit their statement with your claim.

Police Reports

A police report details the date, time, location, and involved parties. This information is invaluable to building a personal injury claim.

Should I go to the hospital?

Some accident injuries are life-threatening, requiring immediate medical care. You can wait to treat less severe injuries. However, some injuries do not show symptoms until several hours or even a day after the accident. It is in your best interest to visit a hospital, walk-in clinic, or your family doctor for a complete post-accident checkup.

Medical Documentation

Getting medical care is for your best health, but it is also essential to pursue compensation. A doctor or other healthcare provider can document your injuries with diagnostic tests and their exam notes. Insurance companies may view a lack of medical documentation as a reason to question or deny your claim.

Common Car Accident Questions

Car accidents raise many issues for victims. You will find frequently asked questions below. The car accident lawyers at Kisling, Nestico & Redick are happy to answer additional questions you may have concerning your case.

What if the at-fault driver is uninsured?

It is more challenging to collect damages when the at-fault driver is uninsured, but it is possible. The most likely source of compensation is your auto insurance. Many drivers have an uninsured or underinsured motorist clause that pays for medical bills, lost pay, and other accident-related expenses.

An attorney can look at your policy and help you file a claim. If your injuries and damages exceed your uninsured policy limit, KNR can take the liable party to court to seek compensation.

Do I need to hire a car accident lawyer?

Pursuing compensation after an accident is a complex process. Insurance companies make it difficult for accident victims and often pressure them into a lowball offer. A car accident lawyer protects your rights and fights for the compensation you deserve. When you work with KNR, we get paid only when you collect compensation.

What is negligence in a car accident case?

Negligence occurs when someone fails to uphold their duty of care in a given situation. For example, a driver who fails to stop at a red light has breached their duty of care. Negligent individuals may be held liable for their victim’s injuries and damages.

Negligence causes many car accidents and includes:

  • Drunk driving
  • Failing to yield
  • Going the wrong way on a one-way street
  • Reckless driving

What should I do if I cannot work after a car crash?

An attorney can assess your damages, including lost pay or reduced wages, if your injuries prevent you from returning to your job. Most auto insurance policies cover lost income, but only to the policy limit. Severely injured individuals might need to pursue additional compensation if they cannot work for an extended period. A car accident lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit seeking lost pay.
