The Scene May Change Before You Heal.
The spill can be cleaned, the ice can melt, and surveillance can be overwritten. Your first job is to get care. Our job is to help preserve what proves why the property was unsafe.
- Report the incident in writing
- Photograph the hazard and surroundings
- Identify witnesses and possible cameras
- Document symptoms and medical care
If The Hazard Vanishes, The Owner May Deny It Existed.
A fall can cause a serious injury even when the dangerous condition disappears in minutes. Without photographs, reports, witnesses, or preserved video, the property owner may argue there was no hazard or blame you.
Scene evidence
Photos can preserve water, ice, broken flooring, lighting, and warning signs.
Surveillance
Store or building video may be overwritten unless it is identified and preserved.
Incident records
Reports and employee information can document what the property knew.
Hidden injuries
Head, back, hip, and joint injuries may develop or worsen after the fall.
The partner explains why the first offer may arrive before the full cost of the injury is known.
Years of combined experience on your side
Built Like A Team, Not A Solo Act
For three decades we've refined how our teams run — attorney, paralegal, investigator, and case manager working your file at the same time, like a kitchen at nine o'clock on a Friday night. Nothing sits. Nothing waits for one person to get free.
You are not squeezed between a divorce and a real estate closing. Ohio injury law is all we do, and a full team goes hard on your behalf from day one.
Your Attorney
Sets the strategy, sets the value of your claim, and refuses to let a lowball offer stand.
Your Paralegal
Chases down records, bills, and reports so nothing stalls waiting on paper.
Your Investigator
Locks down the scene, the vehicles, the cameras, and the witnesses before they disappear.
Your Case Manager
Keeps you updated and keeps every deadline, lien, and medical provider moving.
Connect The Unsafe Property To The Full Injury.
The claim should show what made the property dangerous, who knew or should have known, and how the fall changed your health, income, and daily life.
Treatment
Emergency care, imaging, therapy, surgery, and supported future needs.
Time away from work
Lost wages and employment limitations tied to the injury.
Unsafe conditions
Evidence of the hazard, notice, maintenance, and missing warnings.
Daily limitations
Pain, mobility restrictions, and disruption to ordinary life.
Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Compensation depends on the facts, injuries, available insurance, and other circumstances.
The partner explains what the legal team can preserve, document, and take off your plate right now.
We Know What To Look For Before The Trail Goes Cold.
McKenzie & Snyder serves injured people throughout Ohio. Early contact lets the team evaluate the location, identify records, and help organize the medical and witness evidence while it is still fresh.
Why Insurance Adjusters Know Our Name
Insurance companies keep records on which firms fold and which firms fight. After thirty years of Ohio injury cases, they know exactly which one we are.
We Don't Take The First Offer
The opening number is a test. We come back with the medical proof, the wage loss, and the future cost — and we make them answer for all of it.
Every Case Is Built For Trial
We prepare like we're walking into a courtroom. Carriers pay more when they know the file is ready to be tried, not just settled.
We Move While Evidence Is Fresh
Their adjuster started working your case the day it happened. Our team starts the day you call — same speed, opposite side.
Ohio roots, Ohio courts, Ohio juries. We serve clients across all 88 counties — and we know the adjusters, the defense firms, and the judges in them.
Real Attorneys. Real Ohio. Real Results.
You'll know who is handling your case, and you'll be able to reach them. That's the difference between a law firm and a call center.
