There are other benefits of hiring an attorney.
Establishing liability is a critical part of your case. You must convince the insurance company that the other party caused or contributed to your injuries and damages. A dedicated lawyer can secure the evidence, documentation, and testimony to prove liability.
A personal injury or accident causes physical, emotional, and financial harm. You deserve compensation for all the ways that your life is negatively affected. An attorney with KNR evaluates your economic and emotional losses.
Insurance companies typically make a low initial offer to see if they can get away with settling for as little as possible. We’ll be sure to negotiate for full and fair compensation. Personal injury cases do not usually go to court. Still, if negotiations break down, our lawyers will be ready for trial.

Ohio imposes a two-year statute of limitations, or deadline, for filing a personal injury lawsuit. It takes time to gather evidence, obtain testimony, and prepare a court case. You are encouraged to contact an attorney as soon as possible to avoid running out of time.
Liability is a complicated issue. You could be entitled to financial compensation even if you played a minor role in the accident. However, insurance companies look for any reason to avoid paying claims. It might be best to let an attorney speak to the insurance adjuster on your behalf.
You might know that the other party is responsible for your injuries but not understand how to prove it. A skilled attorney can locate and examine evidence to establish liability. An insurance company wants facts that show the other party is at fault.
Try to take pictures at the scene and include photographic evidence of what caused your injuries. This evidence might be a cracked or broken sidewalk for a slip and fall. If you were in a car accident, take videos or pictures of skid marks, debris, and your damaged car.
People at the scene can be official witnesses. Try to gather as many names and phone numbers as possible so that an attorney can get their statements.
A police officer’s account of what happened carries weight with adjusters and the court. Your attorney can review the police report and include pertinent information with your claim.
Some accident victims think that they don’t need to seek medical attention unless carried by stretcher into the hospital. As experienced injury attorneys, we recommend that you should get medical care even if you think you are fine. Only a healthcare provider can determine if you are entirely injury-free or need a medical test, bloodwork, and other care.
The more documentation you can give the insurer about your injuries, the greater your chance of recovering compensation. Insurance companies view a lack of medical documentation as a sign that you might not be injured or that you don’t have sufficient damages to warrant a payout.
Going to the hospital, urgent care center, or a private medical practice establishes a record of medical care and expenses. You will want to keep track of your doctor’s appointments and medical bills.

Law enforcement officers that respond to an accident must write a report. Along with the date, location, and time, a police report also lists whether the other party received a ticket or took a sobriety test (including the results of that test). This information is helpful to your attorney since a drunk driving charge or moving violation is grounds for negligence.

Kisling, Nestico & Redick gives you legal support throughout the claims process. Here are some of the most asked questions about car accidents. If you have additional questions, please contact KNR.
Insurance claims are more challenging when an uninsured or underinsured motorist hits you. You or your attorney can review your insurance to see if you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist protection. If you do, you will file a claim with your insurer.
If you don’t have uninsured motorist coverage, it might be time to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation.
A car accident lawyer protects your rights and deals with the insurance company on your behalf. Studies show that injured individuals who work with an attorney have a better chance of recovering compensation.
Negligence is a failure by someone to take the same care as another reasonable person in similar circumstances. For example, driver distraction is a leading cause of car accidents.
Other negligent acts that lead to accidents include:
If you cannot work because of accident-related injuries, work with an attorney to recover lost pay. Most PIP (personal injury protection) covers lost wages due to injury. Should you reach the limits of a PIP policy, you might need to file a lawsuit to recover additional damages.
