Enjoy the Benefit of a Dedicated Injury Attorney

Whether you live in London, Midway, West Jefferson, Mount Sterling, or Plain City, hiring a personal injury attorney gives you a better chance at recovering fair compensation. A dedicated attorney relieves you of the stressful and time-consuming actions required to file an insurance claim or lawsuit. You get the rest you need to recover from your injuries or spend time with loved ones.

There are many benefits when you work with an attorney.

Obtain & Examine Evidence of Liability

A successful personal injury claim depends upon proving the other party caused your injuries and damages. An injury attorney has the resources and knowledge to collect evidence of liability. Most accidents happen because someone breaches their duty of care – they don’t do the right thing at the right time. An accident attorney collects proof of this negligence so that you can pursue compensation.

Assigns a Value to all Damages

There are generally two kinds of damages after an injury or accident: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include expenses such as car repairs or a visit to the emergency room. Non-economic damages (for example, pain and suffering) are less tangible but equally important. A personal injury lawyer evaluates all damages for a fair settlement.

Negotiates with the Insurance Company

KNR has a successful track record for accident victims because we understand how insurance companies treat a claim. We collect evidence of liability, compile your expenses, and negotiate for maximum compensation. Occasionally, negotiations break down. When that happens, our skilled trial lawyers take the other side to court.

Hospitals

Getting medical care should be a top priority after any type of injury or accident. Sometimes it takes several hours or days before you notice symptoms. We encourage you to be proactive and visit one of the following locations for medical care.

Madison Health Hospital
Madison Health Urgent Care

Chiropractors

A fall or accident can jolt your spinal cord out of alignment. This misalignment causes severe pain and inflammation, making it difficult to work, study, or care for your loved ones. A chiropractor uses non-invasive, holistic methods to relieve whiplash pain, back injuries, and other discomforts. It might be worth a visit to a local chiropractor to help identify the cause of your pain and get you the relief you need.

Common Questions for the Injured

Our accident lawyers have over 500 combined years of legal experience and have covered many types of accidents. Here are common questions that injured clients ask. If you have additional questions, please reach out for a free initial consultation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

Ohio allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Most personal injury cases are resolved through insurance settlements. However, if negotiations fall through, your other option is likely to file a personal injury lawsuit. Give yourself plenty of time to exercise all legal options by contacting a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Should I Admit Fault in My Injury Case?

Admitting fault gives the insurance company grounds to deny your claim. At the very least, admitting guilt reduces the amount of your settlement. Liability is a complex legal issue that an attorney best handles. You do not have to give a statement to the insurance company right away. Take a moment to call KNR to learn more about your legal options.

How Can I Prove the Other Party Is At Fault?

An injury attorney gathers evidence that shows the other party breached their duty of care. The insurance company (and the court) require proof of liability before they consider awarding you compensation. There are several ways to collect this evidence.

Photos & Videos

Photos are an easy way to capture evidence after an injury or car accident. Take pictures that show the cause, result, or both. For example, get photos of skid marks, your damaged car, and your injuries.

Witnesses

If possible, ask for the names and phone numbers of people present when the accident occurred. An attorney can take their statement and include it with your insurance claim as further proof of liability.

Police Report

A police report adds credibility to your insurance claim. Sometimes, there are reports from other reliable agencies, such as mall security guards, for a slip and fall accident. Don’t worry if you forget to get a copy of the police report at the scene. There are links below to request a copy from the appropriate agency.

Should I Go to the Hospital?

As experienced injury attorneys, we strongly recommend that you seek medical care even if you “feel fine.” Some accident injuries take a while to appear. It might be several days until you are in pain. For your best health outcome, see a healthcare provider as soon as you can.

Medical Documentation

Going to the nearest emergency room, walk-in clinic, or your family doctor also ensures that you have medical documentation. Including copies of medical tests, exam notes, and other proof is far more effective than simply telling the insurance company that you are injured. Medical documentation validates your claim and helps you collect the compensation you deserve.

Common Car Accident Questions

Car accidents leave you with more than injuries. They often create confusion and anxiety about your financial situation.

What if the At-Fault Driver Is Uninsured?

It’s challenging to recover compensation when the at-fault driver does not have insurance or enough insurance. An experienced car accident lawyer examines your case to determine if your policy includes an uninsured motorist option. If so, KNR files a claim on your behalf.

If you don’t carry uninsured motorist coverage, your best chance for collecting compensation could be a personal injury lawsuit. Other liable parties, such as an employer, could apply if the driver was in a company car.

Do I Need an Attorney?

You are more likely to recover fair compensation when you have a car accident attorney helping you. Insurance companies are infamous for doing all they can to deny, delay, or downplay claims. Our car accident lawyers enjoy a unique insight into the insurance business. We use our experience and knowledge to fight for the highest possible settlement.

Why Is Negligence Important in My Injury Case?

Negligence is how an attorney proves that the other driver was at fault. They either failed to act or acted irresponsibly or even illegally, such as driving while intoxicated.

Negligence contributes to many car accidents, including:

What if I Cannot Work Because of My Injuries?

An auto accident attorney can explain your options for recovering lost pay. Often, personal injury protection insurance (PIP) covers lost wages. However, insurance companies will not pay beyond policy limits. If you are severely injured, you might need to file a personal injury lawsuit to make up the difference.
