If you know anything about insurance companies, you know that they like collecting premiums and dislike paying claims. It can be challenging to compile the documentation and proof that insurers demand before considering a payout.
There are several benefits to enjoy when working with an attorney serving Chillicothe and Ross County.
A dedicated attorney has the resources and knowledge to secure evidence that establishes liability. Most accidents are caused by negligence when individuals fail to uphold their duty of care.
Even if the other party did not intend to harm you, they can be held accountable for your injuries and damages. A lawyer uses different types of evidence to establish liability.
Financial recovery is the only recourse for negligent injury. Most personal injury claims fall into two categories of damages: economic and emotional. Economic damages are specific losses, such as a bill for car repairs.
Emotional damages are less tangible but equally important, such as pain and suffering. An attorney carefully compiles all damages as part of the negotiation process.
Many accident and injury claims settle because both parties reach an agreement. The stronger your case, the more likely you’ll receive a fair settlement. However, sometimes the insurer refuses to negotiate in good faith. In that case, it helps to have a solid legal advocate like KNR ready to fight for you in court.
You did not ask to be hurt by someone’s negligence, but you can ask for help. KNR is an Ohio-based law firm that connects you with resources that injured people often need, such as hospitals or body shops. You’ll also find answers to commonly asked questions from accident victims.
Many of our lawyers have direct knowledge of the insurance industry. We focus on personal injury cases to get accident victims the compensation they deserve.

Ohio has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits. The clock starts the date of your accident or injury, and it takes time to prepare a case. If your case isn’t resolved in an insurance settlement, it might be wise to talk to a lawyer about legal action.
We strongly suggest that you avoid speaking to the insurance company until you talk to a lawyer. Admitting fault in your injury case could jeopardize potential compensation.
It is in your best interest to let an experienced attorney communicate with the insurer on your behalf. We understand how insurance companies try to avoid paying claims.
Like discussing fault with the insurance company, gathering evidence against the other party is best left to an attorney. As the injured party or plaintiff, it is up to you to establish liability. An experienced personal injury lawyer is familiar with meeting this burden of proof using several types of evidence.
If possible, use your cell phone to take photos or videos at the scene. Try to include visual evidence like damage done to your car or injuries you endured.
People at the scene can become valuable witnesses that support your claim. Ask witnesses if they would consider making a statement about what they saw or heard.
Police reports contain valuable information, including the date, time, location, and often the likely cause or contributing factor. An insurance adjuster or the court tends to view a police officer’s report as a good and reliable source.
You might feel fine immediately after the accident, only to have pain days later. Some injuries, such as whiplash and concussion, don’t always exhibit symptoms right away. Seek medical attention if your pain worsens.
Getting medical care after an injury is for your best health, and it also helps your insurance claim. Insurance companies view a delay or reluctance to seek medical care as a red flag.
They could deny your claim or offer you less compensation than you deserve. An attorney uses medical documentation like test results to prove that the other party’s negligence caused pain and suffering.

Negligence is a legal term that means someone breaches a duty of care. Individuals who fail to take reasonable measures or precautions to avoid injuring others can be held financially liable.
Negligence is often a contributing factor in most car accidents, such as:
