There are many benefits when you hire an attorney to help with your injury case.
Knowing that someone injured you is different than proving it. Insurance companies will deny or downplay claims that do not show a clear case of liability, injuries, and damages. A personal injury lawyer has the knowledge and resources to obtain evidence of liability. It takes skill and time to build a case against the at-fault party. You do not need this additional burden while you are recovering from injuries.
Some damages are straightforward, such as repairs for your car or the expense of a rental car. Other losses are less tangible, such as emotional trauma or diminished quality of life. A lawyer with KNR determines a value for your economic and emotional damages.
Negotiating with the insurance company is one of our many strengths at KNR. Our lawyers know how insurers think and that many first offers are ridiculously low. We negotiate from a position of legal and practical experience to pursue maximum compensation.
If being injured isn’t bad enough, you probably need to find medical care, tow trucks, and other resources near you. Kisling, Nestico & Redick wants to make your life as easy as possible, so we provide you with contact information for services you likely need after an accident.

From whiplash to broken bones, accidents create painful injuries. It is in your best interest to seek medical attention, whether a trip to the ER via ambulance for severe injuries or an appointment with your family doctor. You can find medical care at one of the following locations.
Knox Community Hospital

Back, neck, shoulder, and leg pain are common after an accident. Concentrating, sleeping, or performing daily tasks can be difficult when your spine is out of alignment. A chiropractor uses holistic methods to relieve pain, improve circulation, and boost overall health. Adding a chiropractor to your other medical and wellness providers may have long-lasting benefits.
Our experienced attorneys focus on recovering the compensation you deserve from all those responsible. We know that you have questions. If you need additional answers to the ones below, please get in touch with KNR today.
Under Ohio law, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Most injury cases settle, but our attorneys prepare for each case as if they were going to court. We want to be ready in case the insurance company fails to negotiate in good faith. It takes time to build a lawsuit, so contact an injury lawyer serving Knox County as soon as possible.
Insurance companies could deny your claim if they believe you are at fault. It is possible to recover compensation if you played a minor role in the accident, but liability is a complex legal issue. We recommend that you let an attorney represent your case to the insurance company.
Most personal injuries stem from negligence – someone fails to act with the same level of care that any reasonable person would in similar circumstances. We establish liability by showing that the other party acted carelessly or failed to act.
With over 500 combined years of legal experience, our attorneys know how to collect, examine, and present evidence of liability. We carefully review all evidence, documentation, and testimony that supports your case.
Whenever possible, use your cell phone to take pictures or videos of the accident scene. Include any proof or visual evidence that shows negligence, such as skid marks from a car crash.
Get the names and phone numbers of people who saw the event or accident. Their statements are invaluable for showing how the other party breached their duty of care.
An attorney reviews the official police report for valuable information that can prove liability.
For severe injuries, you are probably under a doctor’s care already, either in the hospital or at home. If your injuries are less intense, you can probably go to a walk-in clinic or see your regular doctor. You risk making an unknown or untreated injury worse if you delay medical attention. You do not have to be in pain or jeopardize your health – get treated by a licensed medical practitioner right away.
Insurance companies are infamous for using any excuse to avoid a payout. If you don’t get medical treatment, you give them a reason to deny your claim because there is no proof of injury. Get medical documentation of your injuries, whether it’s an X-ray for a broken bone or a doctor’s exam notes that describe your emotional distress.
An attorney with KNR uses medical documentation to substantiate your damages so that you don’t have to pay for someone else’s negligence.
