What should you do if you are an out of state visitor injured in a Kentucky motor vehicle accident? If you are injured in Kentucky as an out of state visitor or while passing through, or have been in an accident with a person who is is an out of state resident you will need the representation of an experienced Louisville personal injury attorney.
In order to achieve the best result in a personal injury claim it is important for the responsible insurance company to know your attorney is willing and able to put your case before a jury to ensure full and fair settlement. If an attorney has not tried local personal injury cases, insurance companies know they have less risk if they hold the line for a lower settlement. Before a personal injury lawsuit is filed one must determine the appropriate “jurisdiction.” Kentucky courts have the authority and therefore the jurisdiction to hear cases involving accidents within the state, regardless of where those who were involved in the accident reside.
