Unlike most other states, personal injury cases in Louisville and the rest of Kentucky are subject to the pure comparative negligence doctrine. This allows two key approaches for your attorney: you can file claims against multiple parties for compensation, and you can file for damages even if you are found partially responsible.
Under Kentucky Revised Statutes § 411.182 et seq., you can pursue other parties for your losses as long as you are less than 100% at fault. However, your settlement will be reduced by the same percentage of fault you bear, so you need a skilled attorney working to minimize your appearance of blame. Fortunately, there are no limitations to the amount of damages you can receive, even in medical malpractice cases.
One of the most critical laws you should remember is the state’s statute of limitations for filing your legal action. It generally only provides one year after you are injured to file your claim in court, and if you miss this deadline, you could lose your chance to demand compensation. Some exceptions might affect the statute for your case, so it is wise to meet with a Louisville personal injury attorney as soon as possible after you are hurt.
In personal injury claims, you and your attorney must show evidence supporting the four elements of negligence. These elements are:
When someone else caused your injuries, you do not have to live with the aftermath of their poor choices. You have the right to hold them accountable and have the resources you need to get your life back on track. When you are ready to move forward and claim your free consultation with a Louisville personal injury attorney at Grossman Green PLLC, contact us online or call (502) 657-7100.
You are not required to hire an attorney to file an insurance claim. However, dealing with an insurance company can be complicated, particularly when your injuries are serious or liability is disputed. A personal injury attorney can handle communications with the insurer, gather evidence supporting your claim, and help you understand your legal options. Also, insurance companies know that a lawsuit is not likely to be filed without a lawyer, so companies don’t offer top settlement offers until a lawyer is involved.
At Grossman Green PLLC, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay an attorney fee unless and until we recover compensation for you. We also cover all costs and take on the financial risk associated with the claim until the claim is resolved. The specific terms of your representation will be explained during your consultation.
The deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit depends on the circumstances of your case and the type of claim involved. Missing an applicable deadline could prevent you from pursuing compensation. Because exceptions and different deadlines may apply, it is important to speak with a Kentucky personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an injury. It is important to note that for many personal injury claims, Kentucky has a one year statute of limitations, which is the shortest in the country!
If you are injured, seek appropriate medical attention as soon as possible. When you are able, document the accident and your injuries, take photographs, collect contact information from witnesses, and preserve relevant records or other evidence. You should also be cautious about making statements to an insurance company or accepting a settlement before you understand your rights.
Being partially responsible for an accident does not necessarily prevent you from pursuing a personal injury claim in Kentucky. Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning the amount of compensation available may be affected by your percentage of responsibility. The specific circumstances of your case determine how these rules apply.
Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may be able to seek compensation for losses such as past and future medical expenses, lost income, lost earning capacity, past and future pain and suffering, disfigurement, and permanent disability. Certain cases may also involve punitive damages. The damages available depend on the facts and applicable law.
An insurance company’s denial does not necessarily end your ability to pursue compensation. Your attorney can review the reason for the denial, investigate the claim, gather additional evidence, negotiate with the insurer, and determine whether filing a lawsuit is appropriate.
You can communicate with an insurance company after an accident and need to cooperate with the insurance process. However, that does not necessarily mean you must give a recorded statement. Statements made to an insurer can affect how your claim is evaluated. Generally speaking, everything you say can and will be used against you. A personal injury attorney can communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and help you understand your rights.
You should expect a helpful, curious conversation with our lawyers. During your initial consultation, an attorney will ask about how your injury happened, your medical treatment, and how the injury has affected your life. You can also ask questions about your legal options and the potential next steps. Bring any documents, photographs, medical records, accident reports, or other information you have available, but do not worry if you do not have everything.
The timeline varies depending on the severity of the injuries, the complexity of the case, the amount of evidence involved, and whether the insurance company is willing to negotiate. Some cases resolve through settlement, while others require litigation and can take significantly longer. We take pride in moving cases as quickly as possible, but the amount it takes to resolve a case can vary.
Not necessarily. Many personal injury claims are resolved through settlement without going to trial. However, some cases require a lawsuit when the parties cannot reach an appropriate resolution. At Grossman Green, we prepare every case with the possibility of trial in mind and are prepared to take a case to court when necessary.
