Rensch & Rensch adds J.D., M.D. trial lawyer to Omaha car accident practice

Rensch & Rensch Law is expanding its Omaha crash litigation team with Mitchell Kohl, a lawyer-doctor the firm says can better analyze medical evidence in injury cases. The move comes as the firm pushes deeper into car, truck and workers' compensation disputes across Nebraska and Iowa.

Why it matters: - Medical proof often decides whether an injury claim succeeds, how much it is worth, and whether insurers accept that a crash caused the harm. - A trial lawyer with both legal and medical training can review causation, imaging, and treatment records faster and press harder on disputed injuries. - Commercial trucking cases can involve catastrophic injuries, multiple insurers, and more complicated coverage fights.

What happened: - Rensch & Rensch Law expanded its Omaha car accident trial practice with attorney Mitchell Kohl, J.D., M.D. - The firm is a plaintiff's personal injury practice with offices in Omaha and Columbus, Nebraska. - Kohl, Sean Rensch, and Chase Murphy handle the firm’s crash cases in Omaha. - Kohl also works on truck accident and workers' compensation matters.

The details: - Kohl handles collision injury claims involving whiplash, disc herniation, concussion, and traumatic brain injury. - Kohl handles catastrophic injury claims against commercial carriers in trucking cases. - Kohl also practices Nebraska workers' compensation law, where impairment ratings, aggravation of preexisting conditions, and future medical care are recurring issues. - Kohl earned a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School and an M.D. from Creighton University School of Medicine. - Kohl is a Fellow of the American College of Legal Medicine. - Fast Facts list Kohl as named to The National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40. - Kohl tries cases with founding partner Dick Rensch, partner Sean P. Rensch, and attorney Chase Murphy. - The firm says consultations are free and injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis. - Rensch & Rensch Law says it has recovered more than $150 million for injured clients and has more than 75 years of combined trial experience. - Founding partner Dick Rensch has taken more than 100 personal injury cases to jury verdict. - The firm serves clients across Nebraska and Iowa. - Contact information listed in the release is 402.498.4400.

Between the lines: - The firm is positioning Kohl’s medical degree as a litigation advantage, not just a credential. - That framing suggests the practice wants to compete more aggressively on injury causation, damages, and medical dispute resolution. - The release also broadens the firm’s image beyond car crashes by linking the same trial team to trucking, workers' compensation, and medical malpractice work.

What's next: - Rensch & Rensch Law appears to be leaning further into trial-focused injury work in Omaha and beyond. - Kohl’s combined legal and medical background is likely to be central to that expansion. - Clients seeking crash or workers' compensation representation can continue to reach the firm through its Omaha and Columbus offices.
