There are lots of things insurance companies will not tell you, the claimant, about.  Part one of our series on "What Insurance Companies Hide From Individuals Making Claims" focuses on what is called dimunition of value or diminished value claims.  You may be surprised to hear that if an insurance company paid you for the repairs on your car and nothing more, you may have just been taken advantage of without realizing it.

Following a Cincinnati car accident, you may be eligible for monetary compensation for injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Many auto accident cases involve complex issues including liability (i.e., fault), insurance coverage, and causation of damages. Sometimes issues are involved that are not readily apparent. Consulting with an experienced lawyer from McKenzie & Snyder will help you gain a clear understanding of your claims. 

Following a work injury or a car accident, many individuals will receive medical and/or chiropractic treatment and make a full recovery. However, many unfortunate individuals will be left with permanent residuals or injuries that never go away. Sometimes the permanent injury is minor (e.g., a backache that mildly flares up when the weather turns cold), sometimes the permanent injury is substantial and disabling (e.g., herniated cervical disc).

Getting into a Cincinnati car wreck with any type of car or other automobile can present difficult legal situations. Dealing with a commercial insurance carrier can present an extra layer of complexity, particularly where the accident involves an individual who was working at the time of the crash. Determining who will pay the bills to fix the vehicles, who will pay the medical bills, and who will represent the persons involved, are just a few of the questions that will need to be answered for proper resolution of the situation. 

When an auto accident occurs most people have more questions than answers about what should be done. Can I go get treatment right away? Should I get treatment right away? Who will pay? What will happen to my insurance rates? What if the person who caused the accident says it was my fault? What if the police report has inaccuracies?
