Injuries can happen to anyone in Marysville and Union County. When you’re hurt because of another person’s reckless act or error, an attorney can help you recover compensation.
Working with an attorney gives you better control over your case. You’re also more likely to collect a fair settlement compared to dealing with the insurance company by yourself. Our attorneys – many of whom are award-winning litigators – have experience in the insurance industry. This unique insight, combined with our knowledge of Ohio liability laws, is advantageous for our clients.
There are other benefits to working with an attorney.
Many accidents happen because someone fails to do the right thing at the right time. An attorney collects evidence to show how the other party is at fault. The more proof of liability, the greater success your insurance claim could have.
Injuries result in damages, from hospital bills to lost pay. They also create emotional losses, such as pain and suffering. A personal injury lawyer evaluates your damages based on the severity of your injuries and their negative impact on your life.
In most accident cases, you pursue compensation from the at-fault individual’s insurance company. If you know anything about insurance companies, you know that they like collecting premiums and dislike paying claims. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who demand maximum compensation for your economic and emotional damages. Should negotiations fall through, we can take your case to court.

Accidents create injuries ranging from mild to life-threatening. It is in your best interest to seek medical attention.

Our lawyers have more than 500 combined years of legal experience. That’s an impressive amount of knowledge working on your behalf. Below are frequently asked questions, but if you have specific concerns about your case, please reach out to KNR online.
Ohio allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Most personal injury cases settle out of court. Still, contact a lawyer as soon as possible. It takes time to build a court case. If you try to file a legal complaint after the deadline, the court will not consider your case.
Fault, or liability, is a complex legal issue. What you think is an error on your part might not be – but telling the insurance company could jeopardize a potential settlement. Avoid discussing fault with the insurer. You can also ask an attorney to speak to the insurance adjuster on your behalf.
Even if you know that the other party is at fault, proving it is another matter. The burden of proof is on you to show a logical cause-and-effect that resulted in your injuries. A skilled attorney can access many types of evidence that show how the other person is at fault.
If you can, take pictures of the accident scene using your cell phone. Try to include photos or videos of damaged property, bodily injuries, and other details.
People who were at the scene can make a statement. Witnesses provide additional proof that can be included in your insurance claim.
A police report is an official document of the event, including location, parties, and potential causes. An attorney reviews the information to gather supporting facts for your case.
Although severely injured victims go straight to the hospital (usually by EMTs), you could visit an urgent care center for less severe injuries. Some injuries take time before symptoms appear. When you get medical care, you reduce your chance of waking up in pain several days after the accident.
Going to the hospital, clinic, or a private practice also provides medical documentation. The insurance company needs to be sure that you are injured and to what extent. Seeking medical care as soon as possible creates a trail of evidence such as X-rays, MRI scans, and medical bills. Keep all receipts and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.

Car accidents leave you with more questions than answers. Our attorneys at Kisling, Nestico & Redick make sure you understand your rights and options.
Pursuing compensation is more challenging when the at-fault driver does not have insurance or enough insurance. Your first option might be your auto coverage if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist protection.
If you don’t carry uninsured motorist coverage, an attorney can file a lawsuit to help you collect damages.
Our car accident lawyers use their experience and knowledge to fight for maximum compensation. We know that insurance companies try to use every possible reason to pay you less than what you need to get back on your feet. We counter these tactics with evidence and a determination that the responsible party should make you whole.
Negligence means that someone did not act appropriately to avoid harming you. This is called a duty of care, and when breached, you may hold the negligent party accountable. An example of negligence in a car accident is a driver that gets behind the wheel after drinking.
Negligence contributes to many car accidents in other ways, such as:
The at-fault party’s personal injury protection insurance (PIP) usually covers lost wages. If you are severely injured and cannot work for a long time or at all, you might need to file a personal injury lawsuit to make up the difference.
