Benefits of an Injury Attorney

Hiring a personal injury attorney gives you valuable insight and assistance so you can make informed decisions. Accident victims may recover significantly higher settlements when they work with a lawyer. Your damages might be more substantial than you think. Our award-winning lawyers carefully evaluate your claim to recover the maximum possible compensation.

There are other benefits of working with an attorney.

Establish Liability

Getting compensation for your injuries depends upon proving that the other party is at fault. Most people do not have the experience, knowledge, or time to perform all the necessary tasks in establishing liability. Kisling, Nestico & Redick has the resources to investigate the circumstances of your accident. We collect evidence, review police reports, and examine documentation to build a strong case.

Assess Damages

Many injured people are entitled to compensation beyond their medical bills. A dedicated injury attorney considers all your damages, from lost pay to emotional trauma. You deserve financial recovery for the many ways that you’ve been affected by someone’s negligence.

Negotiate with the Insurance Company

One of our many strengths at KNR is our inside knowledge of the insurance industry. We know how insurance adjusters think and the tactics they might use to give you less than what you deserve.

With 12 convenient locations throughout Ohio, KNR has the strength, knowledge, and experience to help you get your life back on track. The following is a list of resources that might help you check everything on your to-do list.

Hospitals

Some accidents cause life-threatening injuries that require immediate hospital care. A trip to the nearest walk-in clinic or your doctor is probably fine for less severe injuries. However, you know your body and should listen to your instinct regarding pain or worsening symptoms. It is in your best interest to seek medical care from one of the following providers.

Holzer Medical Center Jackson
Holzer Urgent Care

Chiropractors

Not all injuries involve broken bones. Many accident victims suffer from whiplash, back pain, or headaches. A chiropractor may be able to relieve your pain using holistic, non-invasive methods that involve correctly aligning your spinal cord.

Common Questions for the Injured

Our experienced attorneys have helped over 10,000 clients, and we would be honored to help you. Here are a few commonly asked questions. If you have questions related to your case, please reach out using our convenient contact form.

What Is the Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

You only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. While this sounds like plenty of time, you should consider that most lawsuits arise only after insurance negotiations break down. You want to exercise all your options without fear of missing important deadlines. Contact an injury lawyer serving McArthur as soon as possible to gain a better understanding of your rights.

Should I Admit to Fault to the Insurance Company?

Insurance companies look for any reason to deny your claim. Any statement that you make about your role in the accident could jeopardize your claim. Liability is a complex legal issue that is best left to an attorney with knowledge and experience. You deserve time to rest and recuperate; let an attorney with KNR deal with the insurance company.

How Do I Establish Liability?

You cannot simply accuse the other party of causing your injuries without proof to back up your claim. When someone is negligent, we mean that they failed to act with the same level of care that any reasonable person would in similar circumstances. An attorney looks for evidence that shows that the other party breached their duty of care for some reason.

Photos and Videos

Cell phones make it easy to snap pictures right at the scene. Try to include evidence that points to negligence by the other party, such as a dangling wire that caused you to trip or your damaged vehicle.

Witnesses

Witnesses who saw and heard the incident can give your attorney a statement. Eyewitnesses should be interviewed as soon as possible while the details are fresh in their minds.

Police Reports

Police reports are often full of valuable information that your attorney can use to establish liability. You have the right to request a copy of the report to use with your claim.

Should I Go to the Hospital?

Going to the hospital might not be necessary for less severe injuries. However, you should still see a medical professional. People who “feel fine” often experience pain several hours after the accident. You do not want to risk making your injuries worse by delaying or avoiding medical care.

Medical Documentation

Going to the doctor is the first step in feeling better. It is also an essential component of your insurance claim. Insurance companies view a lack of medical documentation as suspect and could refuse to pay compensation. Diagnostic tests, lab results, and your medical provider’s notes are objective evidence of your injuries.

What If the At-fault Driver Is Uninsured?

What if I Cannot Work Because of My Accident Injuries?
