Kisling, Nestico & Redick wants to answer your most asked questions. Please reach out if you have specific questions about your case.
Ohio has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits. The clock starts the day you’re injured (or discover your injury). It takes time to prepare a court case. While most personal injury cases resolve through insurance settlements, you do not want to risk losing the chance for legal action.
Any indication of liability is a reason for the insurance company to deny your claim. Liability is a complex legal issue that most people do not fully understand. Let an attorney communicate with the insurer for you to avoid jeopardizing your compensation with an offhand remark.
Proving liability is a critical part of an injury case. An attorney investigates and examines the evidence to show how the other party caused your injuries and should be held accountable.
Use your cell phone to take photos or videos of the accident. Try to include details such as skid marks or your damaged vehicle. It is a good idea to take pictures of your injuries, too.
Ask people at the scene if they are willing to make a statement about what they saw or heard. Witness testimonies play an important role in building your insurance claim.
You may request that the police give you a written account of your accident or injury. An attorney examines police reports for valuable information about the events, circumstances, and involved parties.
Getting medical treatment should be your top priority after an accident or injury. While you might not think you’re injured, only a healthcare professional can make that determination. It is worth your peace of mind to visit your local hospital or walk-in clinic.
Insurance companies look for any reason to avoid paying you what you deserve. Medical documentation is evidence of your injuries. Be sure to follow your doctor’s instructions, including future appointments or referrals to specialists. Keep all bills, invoices, and receipts since your attorney can include these as part of your claim.

You may still recover compensation even if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured. It is a complex process that is best navigated with the help of a dedicated car accident lawyer.

Examples of negligence in car accidents include:
