Local hospitals such as Licking Memorial Hospital and nearby medical providers often play an important role in emergency treatment, ongoing care, and medical documentation that supports your claim.
Our firm frequently helps clients injured in car crashes along State Route 16, State Route 79, West Main Street, 21st Street, and North 30th Street, as well as collisions near busy shopping areas like Indian Mound Mall, downtown Newark, and Heath’s commercial corridors.

Car crashes are one of the most common causes of serious injuries in Newark and throughout Licking County. Busy routes like State Route 16, State Route 79, West Main Street, Mount Vernon Road, and 21st Street, along with congested intersections near downtown Newark, Heath, and Indian Mound Mall, frequently see collisions ranging from rear-end crashes to high-speed highway wrecks.
Our car accident attorneys conduct detailed investigations into every case. We obtain police reports, traffic camera footage, black box data, witness statements, and medical records to build a clear picture of what happened. We handle all communication with insurance companies and aggressively pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. Whether your crash occurred on a state highway or a neighborhood street, KNR fights to help you recover and move forward.
Commercial trucks, delivery vehicles, and freight carriers regularly travel through Newark via SR-16, SR-79, and regional industrial and warehouse corridors, increasing the risk of catastrophic collisions. Because of their size and weight, truck accidents often cause life-altering injuries and involve complex legal issues, including federal trucking regulations and multiple liable parties.
KNR’s truck accident lawyers act quickly to preserve critical evidence, including driver logs, maintenance records, dashcam footage, and electronic logging device (ELD) data. We investigate trucking companies, contractors, and insurers to identify every source of liability. Our team works with accident reconstruction experts and safety specialists to prove negligence and hold responsible parties accountable—through settlement negotiations or litigation, as needed.
Property owners in Newark have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to repair hazards like wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting, uneven sidewalks, or icy walkways, serious injuries can occur. These accidents often happen in grocery stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, and retail centers throughout Newark and Heath.
Our premises liability attorneys gather surveillance footage, maintenance logs, photographs, and witness testimony to demonstrate how unsafe conditions caused your injury. We pursue full compensation under Ohio premises liability law for medical expenses, lost income, and long-term complications. If a business or landlord failed to protect you, KNR is prepared to hold them accountable.
Patients trust healthcare providers to deliver safe, competent care. When doctors, nurses, or hospitals make preventable mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. KNR represents individuals and families harmed by surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and emergency room negligence.
Cases often involve treatment at facilities such as Licking Memorial Hospital and other local providers, and they require a thorough review of complex medical records and expert testimony. Our medical malpractice lawyers work closely with qualified specialists and follow Ohio’s strict procedural requirements to build strong, evidence-based claims. We handle the legal process so you can focus on your recovery.
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the most painful experiences a family can face. Whether the loss stems from a car or truck crash, unsafe property conditions, or medical error, KNR provides compassionate guidance and determined legal advocacy.

Accidents in Newark often result in serious, long-lasting injuries. We regularly help clients suffering from:
Every injury affects people differently. Our attorneys work closely with doctors, specialists, and life-care planners to document your treatment, prognosis, and future needs. This ensures your claim reflects the full physical, emotional, and financial impact of your injury—not just your immediate medical bills.
Most personal injury claims in Newark and throughout Ohio are based on negligence, which occurs when a person, business, or organization fails to use reasonable care and causes harm to someone else. To recover compensation, you must show that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, directly caused your injury, and left you with measurable damages such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering.
Ohio uses a modified comparative negligence rule under Ohio Rev. Code §2315.33. This means you can still recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, your total recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injury victims to lower payouts. KNR builds strong, evidence-based cases designed to minimize unfair fault arguments and protect the value of your claim.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Ohio law generally caps non-economic damages at the greater of $250,000 or three times your economic losses, up to $350,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence. Higher limits may apply in catastrophic injury cases involving permanent disability or disfigurement. KNR carefully evaluates every claim to identify all available categories of compensation so nothing is left on the table.
Building a successful injury claim starts with a thorough investigation. Our attorneys examine exactly how the accident occurred and identify every party who may be legally responsible. This process often includes reviewing police and crash reports, photographs, video footage, witness statements, medical records, and property maintenance logs.
When cases require deeper analysis, we collaborate with accident reconstruction specialists, engineers, medical experts, and financial professionals to clearly demonstrate how negligence caused your injuries and the long-term impact on your life.
In many Newark and Licking County injury cases, more than one party may share liability—for example:
By identifying all responsible parties, KNR maximizes the potential sources of recovery and strengthens your claim. Whether negotiating with insurers or presenting evidence in court, our goal is simple: hold the right people accountable and secure the full compensation you deserve.
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, every case starts with listening. We take the time to understand how your accident happened, how your injuries affect your daily life, and what financial pressures you’re facing. From there, we move quickly to gather evidence, interview witnesses, obtain medical records, and consult with trusted experts to calculate the full personal and financial impact of your injuries.
Our attorneys handle all communication with insurance companies and negotiate aggressively on your behalf. Insurers often try to minimize payouts or pressure victims into quick settlements. We don’t accept less than what your case is truly worth.
If a fair resolution isn’t offered, our trial attorneys are fully prepared to litigate in the Licking County Court of Common Pleas.

Early legal guidance can prevent insurance companies from using your words against you or pressuring you into accepting an unfair settlement.
Most personal injury lawsuits arising from accidents in Newark and surrounding communities are filed in the Licking County Court of Common Pleas, located in downtown Newark. Smaller claims may be handled through the Licking County Municipal Court.

Our attorneys are familiar with local procedures, court staff, and filing requirements, which helps keep your case moving efficiently.
We also regularly work with local first responders, medical providers, and area experts to strengthen your claim with credible, community-based evidence.
Under Ohio Rev. Code §2305.10, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Medical malpractice cases typically have a one-year statute of limitations under §2305.113. Exceptions may apply in certain situations, such as cases involving minors or delayed discovery of harm. Contacting KNR promptly helps protect your right to recover compensation.
KNR offers free consultations and works on a contingency-fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney’s fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. We explain all costs clearly so there are never any surprises.
