Benefits of a Personal Injury Attorney

Whether you live in Waverly, Piketon, or Beaver, you enjoy greater control over your case with help from an attorney. You also increase your chance of recovering a fair settlement. Having a lawyer negotiate and communicate with the insurance company allows you to focus on your health and loved ones.

There are other benefits of an attorney.

Secure Evidence of Liability

Most personal injury accidents happen because someone breached their duty of care. However, knowing that the other party is negligent and proving it are different. An attorney has the resources and skills to obtain and examine evidence of liability or wrongdoing.

Assign a Value to Damages

You have the right to seek compensation for all the ways that someone’s negligence affects your life. A lawyer takes an objective, knowledgeable view of your economic and emotional losses. These damages usually include medical bills, lost pay, and pain and suffering.

Negotiate with the Insurance Company

Many of our attorneys worked in the insurance industry. We use this in-depth knowledge to pursue maximum compensation for our clients. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators and litigators. Should negotiations break down, we can take your case to court.

Provide Links to Resources

In addition to legal representation, KNR answers your questions about your case. We also provide links to hospitals, body shops, and other resources you might need after an accident.

Common Questions for the Injured

What Is the Deadline for Filing a Lawsuit?

According to Ohio statutes, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. You should know that most personal injury lawsuits result from failed insurance negotiations. Be sure to give yourself enough time to explore all your options. It is in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Should I Discuss Fault with the Insurance Company?

Don’t mention fault to the insurance company to avoid complicating or jeopardizing your claim. Insurers try to blame the victim to avoid paying compensation. You’re encouraged to talk to a personal injury lawyer before speaking with an insurance company representative.

How Do I Show Fault by the Other Party?

Liability is a complex legal issue. The burden of proof is on you to show that the other party caused your injuries. Instead of trying to collect and examine evidence on your own, let an experienced attorney help.

Several types of evidence can support your claim.

Photos & Videos

Pictures or videos of the accident scene, including photos of property damage and bodily injury, are invaluable. There might also be closed-circuit or security cameras with available videos depending on the location.

Witness Statements

Try to collect the names and phone numbers of people at the scene. Sometimes the police interviews witnesses; if not, give the contact information to an attorney.

Police Reports

A police report officially documents the accident or injury. An attorney can gather essential facts from a police report, including observations and citations from responding officers.

Do I Need to Go to the Hospital?

Severely injured individuals don’t have to ask about going to the hospital – they are taken by ambulance from the scene. However, you could probably see your family doctor or go to a walk-in clinic for less serious injuries. Don’t hesitate to seek medical attention, especially if your pain worsens or you develop new symptoms.

Medical Documentation

You can strengthen your claim by including medical documentation from the hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office. This documentation might be an MRI or X-ray image, examination notes, or lab results. Insurance companies tend to red flag a claim that lacks clear proof of injuries. Keep track of your receipts and bills, and always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions. You could jeopardize your claim if you skip appointments or treatment.

You deserve accurate answers to your car accident questions. Our car accident lawyers help you understand your rights.

What if the At-Fault Driver Is Uninsured?

Ohio has minimum auto insurance requirements, but not all drivers comply. When the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, recovering damages becomes complex. You might have uninsured or underinsured motorist protection. Otherwise, talk to a car accident attorney about filing a lawsuit to help cover injuries and losses.

How Does Negligence Affect My Claim?

To show that someone is liable, you must show that they failed to take reasonable measures to avoid harming you. This failure or breach is negligence, and the other party can be held accountable. Most car accidents are the result of negligence, such as:

What if I Cannot Work After the Crash?
