Injuries We Help With

Serious Injuries in Ohio

At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, we understand even a relatively minor injury can take a toll on your finances, family life, and your ability to perform daily tasks. Serious injuries can have an even greater impact.

If you’ve been seriously injured, you may have to undergo surgery, lengthy rehabilitation, or other forms of treatment that are both time-consuming and expensive. You may experience long-term or permanent damage and limitations of function. A serious injury may prevent you from working for long periods of time or require that you seek to retrain for a different kind of job altogether.

Accidents are unpredictable and can result in many types of injuries Some of the most common types of serious injuries we’ve handled include:

Brain Injuries

A brain injury has the ability to change your life forever. Potential effects of a brain injury can include loss of memory, motor functions, cognitive functions, speech, hearing, or vision. You may experience headaches and other chronic pain, as well as depression and changes to your personality. A brain injury can touch every part of your life, including your work, your hobbies, and your relationships with people close to you.

Neck, Back, and Spinal Cord Injuries

Injuries to your neck, back, or spinal cord are common in accidents involving falls or those involving impacts, such as car or truck accidents. These types of injuries can result in long-term or permanent damage to your vertebrae, nerves, or muscles. Effects of a neck, back, or spinal cord injury can include chronic pain, sensation loss, range of motion, and paralysis.

Paralysis Injuries

Paralysis is the loss of body function, usually due to an injury to your body’s central nervous system. These injuries can limit your mobility, cause immense physical pain, and change virtually every aspect of your life. If you or a loved one have been left paralyzed at any level after an accident, consult an experienced lawyer right away.

Catastrophic Injuries

When your injuries are so severe that you are left permanently disabled, your injuries may be described as catastrophic. Catastrophic injuries can involve the need for long-term medical or nursing home care.

Broken Bones

Broken arms, legs, and other bones are extremely painful and can prevent you from living your life while your injury heals. You may also require surgery or physical therapy to regain full mobility after suffering a broken bone. These types of injuries can be expensive and may necessitate a long recovery time.

Hip Injuries

If you suffer from a serious hip injury, you can be subjected to prolonged pain and reduced mobility. It can be difficult to return to the life you once enjoyed, but by working with an experienced lawyer, you can recover the compensation that you need.

Knee and Joint Injuries

Our joints are the focal point for every movement that our extremities make, but they are very sensitive when it comes to unnatural or hard-hitting movements. If you suffer an injury due to no fault of your own to your knee or any other crucial joint, the recovery time can be long and the expense considerable. To discuss how to hold the responsible party accountable, contact an Ohio serious injury lawyer with KNR.

Amputations

The sudden loss of a limb is a major trauma that will impact your life in several unimaginable ways. When you suffer such a devastating injury due to an accident that was caused by someone else’s recklessness, you have the right to review your legal options and potentially seek compensation.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries come in various forms, from electrical accidents, fires, or negligently pouring hot coffee. Due to varying levels of severity and complicated treatment plans, a burn can cause a great deal of pain, and permanent limitations and may significantly impede your life as well as your appearance.

Chest Injuries

A blow to the chest in any type of accident, such as car crashes or workplace mishaps, can lead to several examples of serious injuries. You may break a rib, crack your sternum or injure your heart, lungs, or other major organs. These injuries can be very severe, even life-threatening. If you are able to recover, you may find yourself saddled with massive bills. If you sustained a chest injury, you are entitled to recover compensation for your medical expenses and other damages you experienced.

Eye Injuries

Car accidents, defective products, and workplace accidents can all cause life-altering eye injuries. If you suffer from an eye injury due to another party’s negligence, you may be unable to work, drive, and complete everyday tasks that improve your quality of life. If you find yourself suffering due to one of these injuries, you may be able to recover compensation.

Facial Injuries

Facial injuries are painful, upsetting, and leave many people feeling self-conscious about the way they look. Deformities of the face, lacerations, and bone fractures all fall under the category of facial injuries and can be caused by accidents at your workplace, at a swimming pool, and even at an amusement park. If you sustained a facial injury at any of these types of locations, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.

Abdominal Injuries

Due to its lack of structural protection, the stomach area is vulnerable to a wide range of injuries from accidents. Abdominal injuries should always be taken seriously and may necessitate immediate and ongoing medical attention. Many of these injuries will require extensive healing time, ensuring you’re out of work for a long time.

Internal Injuries

Internal injuries are some of the most dangerous types of physical damage a person can sustain. It can often be difficult to identify exactly what organs or tissue have been damaged, and in some cases, a person may not notice that they are suffering from internal damage for some time. If you’ve been injured internally in an accident due to no fault of your own, you need to seek medical attention immediately and discuss the situation with a skilled attorney.

Windshield Injuries

Coming into contact with a windshield during a car accident can result in long-lasting harm and are often deadly. If you or a loved one have been in one of these serious car accidents, it’s important to receive medical attention without delay. Then contact an Ohio serious injury lawyer to review your options.

Auto Ejection Injuries

Vehicle ejections can easily result in death or life-altering injuries, but they’re unfortunately not as uncommon as many people think. If you or a loved one suffered a serious or fatal injury after being ejected from a vehicle, Ohio law allows you to seek compensation from the negligent party that caused your injuries.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is often experienced when an individual goes through a traumatic event such as a devastating car accident or a serious injury. It can develop years after your accident or traumatic event, and also be brought on by another party’s actions. Regardless of how your PTSD developed, you may be eligible for compensation.

If you’ve suffered an injury because of a motor vehicle crash, medical malpractice, work-related incident, or any other type of accident, you may have legal options for seeking compensation. The skilled Ohio personal injury lawyers at Kisling, Nestico & Redick can evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and help you obtain compensation for your injuries and losses.

Ohio Personal Injury Claims

A serious injury can involve significant medical expenses you may be unable to afford, especially if you’ve been forced to miss work while you recover. Your situation may be especially frustrating because your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence and could have been prevented if the responsible party had exercised more care.

In Ohio, you may be eligible to receive compensation when you suffer an injury because of someone else’s negligence, such as in a car accident or through an act of medical malpractice.

Through a personal injury claim with KNR, you may receive compensation for your past and future:

• Medical expenses
• Loss of income
• Pain and suffering
• Disability
• Disfigurement
• Mental anguish
• Loss of consortium

To obtain compensation, you must prove that the other person was negligent. In other words, you must demonstrate that the responsible party acted in a way that was unreasonable, or failed to take an action that a reasonable person would have taken and that their act or failure to act caused your injuries.

As with any type of accident-related injury, if your injury was work-related, you may be able to recover funds for your medical bills and lost wages. However, with workers’ compensation claims in Ohio, it’s unnecessary in to prove negligence. You need only demonstrate that your injury happened in the course of your employment and was related to your employment.
