accident

Many of our clients call us following an auto accident and explain that the individual who caused the wreck did not have insurance. This situation is quite common unfortutunately and presents an obvious problem when property damage and/or personal injuries are involved. Fortunately there are solutions. 

Bringing an Uninsured Motorist Claim

Not all car accidents are equal in severity, and differ greatly in terms of injury. Sometimes we see auto accident cases with very little property damage yet serious injuries. Othertimes, we see serious car damage and relatively minor injuries. Some experts have opined that there is a loose correlation between property damage and injury. The insurance industry often relies strongly upon property damage in evaluating claims. Regardless of the severity of one's injuries, documentation is key.

Serious Cincinnati Car Crashes and Evidence of Injuries

It is quite common for an employer to contest or fight a workers comp claim. An employer may argue that an accident at work did not actually take place, or that if it did, it did not result in serious injury. I often advise clients to try and remain calm under such circumstances as they are very common and rarely personal. That being said, such a situation can be both frustrating and worrisome, especially considering the medical bills and loss of income that often accompanyies a work injury.

The vast majority of law offices these days specialize in a particular area or areas of the law. Larger firms may specialize in dozens of areas or more. At McKenzie & Snyder LLP we have made a calculated decision to narrow our focus to personal injury claims and workers comp claims. We believe that in doing so we are able to provide our clients with better service and greater expertise.

Work Comp Injuries in Cincinnati 

Sometimes Ohio BWC claims or "work comp" claims will be decided in a court of law. One of the most common instances is where there is a dispute over whether or not the claim should be allowed. Generally this means that the employee is alleging that he or she was injured on the job and the employer alleges that there was either no injury or it was not sufficiently work related.
