Although each case is different and there are no guarantees of a particular outcome, our attorneys fight for you to be made whole.

You won’t need to file a lawsuit to recover compensation in many cases. Insurance companies dislike paying claims, but they dislike the negative publicity of a trial even more. However, some injury cases go to trial, usually because negotiations with the insurer break down. You have two years under Ohio law to file a personal injury lawsuit.
We strongly advise that accident victims avoid discussing fault with the insurance company. Even an inadvertent or innocent remark could jeopardize potential compensation. To prevent this from happening, let an experienced attorney communicate and negotiate on your behalf.
Ohio has specific laws on negligence. A lawyer can collect and examine evidence to meet the required level of proof. Several types of evidence can support your claim and help you get the compensation you deserve.
If possible, take pictures or videos at the accident scene. Include photos that point to liability or wrongdoing by the other party, such as your damaged vehicle.
Getting a statement from someone who witnessed the accident helps your claim. Try to get the names and phone numbers of people at the scene.
A police report is a valuable piece of evidence in an insurance claim. Police officers are trained observers, and their notes play an important role in establishing liability.
The EMTs take severely injured people directly to the hospital but your injuries might be less extensive. Still, you should get a licensed healthcare provider to examine you. It’s possible to suffer an injury without showing symptoms right away. We encourage you to get medical care for your best health outcome.
Going to the nearest hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office also creates medical documentation. Insurance companies need proof that your injuries were serious enough to warrant medical treatment. Be sure to attend all doctor’s appointments and courses of treatment. If you delay or skip medical care, the insurance company could interpret that as a sign your injuries are not as painful or extensive as you claim.

Our car accident lawyers guide you through the insurance claims process. Below are frequently asked questions from other injured individuals. If you have additional or specific concerns, please contact KNR.
Uninsured or underinsured drivers present a challenge for recovering compensation. There are a few ways to pursue damages. The most common way is to file a claim with your uninsured coverage if you have it. If not, an attorney can file a personal injury lawsuit to demand payment for medical care, car repairs, and other losses.
In our experience, insurers make a lowball first offer and try to pressure injured individuals to accept it quickly. An experienced attorney understands the back-and-forth process and fights to get you maximum compensation. Having a lawyer by your side protects your rights. You also won’t have the additional burden of dealing with an aggressive insurance adjuster while you’re recovering.
Negligence means that someone fails to act with the same level of care that a reasonable person would in a similar situation. For example, a driver that runs a red light and crashes into your car failed to act with care.
Negligence plays a significant role in other types of crashes, such as:
You might not be able to work due to injuries after the crash. A car accident lawyer can pursue lost pay as part of your damages. Some insurance covers lost wages up to the policy limit. You could file a lawsuit to recover additional compensation should you exhaust the insurance coverage.
