When someone breaches their duty of care, accidents with injuries often occur. You might be entitled to compensation for accident-related expenses, including medical care, property damage, and lost pay.
KNR serves injured individuals in Scioto County, from the county seat of Portsmouth to Wheelersburg. Studies show that working with an attorney increases the potential for compensation. Insurance companies hate paying claims because they lose money. Hiring an attorney shows that you are serious about pursuing financial recovery.
There are several benefits of an experienced attorney for your injury case.
Injuries alone aren’t enough to secure compensation. You must show how the other party caused or contributed to your pain and loss. An attorney with KNR has the resources and knowledge to establish liability using evidence, documentation, and testimony.
A personal injury attorney evaluates your economic and non-economic losses. Our firm focuses on injury cases because those responsible should pay for your medical bills and other expenses. KNR fights to recover compensation for all the ways that accidents affect your life, from car repairs to costly prescriptions.
Insurance companies tend to lowball when it comes to settlement offers. They rely on most accident victims not understanding the back-and-forth negotiation and hope to settle cheaply and quickly. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and seasoned trial lawyers who aren’t afraid to file a lawsuit to get what you deserve.
If being injured isn’t bad enough, many accident victims wonder where to find resources like a tow truck or car rental agency. KNR is an Ohio-based firm that answers your questions and provides links to hospitals, body shops, and other services.
KNR has 12 locations throughout the state. Our lawyers have over 500 combined years of legal experience to help you or a loved one recover compensation.

Slip and fall accidents, car accidents, and other incidents often create soft tissue injuries. Consider visiting a local chiropractor if you’re suffering from back or neck pain, headaches, sprains, and other discomforts.
Chiropractic medicine is based on holistic, non-invasive, and non-surgical care. Some injured individuals discover their pain, swelling, and inflammation ease faster with the help of a chiropractor.
We strive to answer all your questions and guide you through the complex claims process. If you have additional questions, please reach out to us today.
You have two years from the date of the injury or accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio. This might sound like plenty of time, but you should know that building a strong case takes time. It is in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
While many injury cases settle outside of court, sometimes the insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith. An attorney with KNR is ready with trial-tested experience and a deep understanding of state liability laws.
Admitting fault gives the insurance company an excuse to deny your claim or pay you less than you deserve. Liability is a complex legal issue. You might or might not share fault for the accident, so it’s best left to an experienced lawyer to sort out the details.
The insurance company will demand evidence that their policyholder’s negligence caused your injuries. A skilled attorney knows how to meet this burden of proof using a variety of evidence, documentation, and testimony.
If possible, capture evidence like damaged property and injuries. Photos and videos from the accident scene can back up your claim of negligence by the other party.
Try to get the names and phone numbers of people who witnessed the injury or accident. Their statement can support your case and convince the insurer of the other party’s negligence.
A police report officially documents the accident, with names, contact information, related violations or charges, and other details necessary for a claim. Police officers are objective, trained observers, and their comments could weigh heavily in your favor.
Severely injured individuals go to the hospital, usually in an ambulance, directly from the scene. Even if the paramedics didn’t take you to the nearest emergency room, you should still seek medical care. It can be dangerous to your health and safety if you delay seeing a doctor or other healthcare professional.
For example, many people hurt in an accident have a concussion. Concussions can quickly become life-threatening if undiagnosed and untreated.
Medical attention helps you avoid potential complications or long-term effects after an accident. It also provides medical documentation that shows the insurer that your injuries are valid. Medical documentation can take the form of an X-ray, blood test, MRI, or doctor’s exam notes. An attorney includes medical documentation with your insurance claim as proof of injury and damages.

It’s natural to feel angry or anxious after a car accident. Having an experienced attorney by your side can help you feel more in control.
Car accidents involving an uninsured or underinsured driver are more complex. An attorney can check your policy to see if you carry an uninsured motorist plan. In our experience, drivers do not always know what benefits or coverage apply to their situation.
If you don’t have uninsured coverage, you might need to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver. Although uninsured, they might have financial assets to cover your damages.
It’s challenging to deal with an insurance company under the best circumstances. It can be overwhelming if you’re suffering from accident injuries and losses. Not only does a car accident lawyer compile evidence and assess your damages, but they also negotiate with the insurer for you. Our attorneys understand how insurance companies work. We use our knowledge and experience to your best advantage.
Negligence means that someone breached their duty of care, and in so doing, caused your injuries. Most car crashes are due to negligence, such as speeding or driving while impaired.
Other car accidents caused by negligence:
Lost pay due to accident-related injuries is a legitimate economic loss. An attorney can include lost wages with your insurance claim. However, not all insurance policies cover lost pay, or they only cover up to a limit. You might recover additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
Our attorneys are experienced, compassionate, and dedicated to recovering compensation for accident victims. Many have worked in the insurance industry or as legal counsel for insurers. This insight allows Kisling, Nestico & Redick to obtain results that an injured person alone might not achieve.
KNR has recovered over $500 million in damages for injured individuals to cover medical bills, property damage, and other losses.
When someone’s negligence injures you or a loved one, it’s time to talk to an experienced attorney.
