Personal injury generally occurs when a person is injured due to the negligent actions of another person. Kentucky law provides extensive opportunities for the recovery of financial “damages” in a settlement or civil action.
Personal injury often occurs in motor vehicle accidents including a:
Personal injury cases may also be the result of a:
A wrongful death occurs when one person loses their life due to the negligent actions of another person. The personal representative or executor of your loved one’s estate is responsible for bringing the wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the surviving relatives. There is a limited time to bring a wrongful death action in the State of Kentucky.
While no amount of money can replace a beloved family member, the State of Kentucky provides several forms of financial recovery in these cases. Generally speaking, spouses, children and parents may seek financial compensation for:
The primary source of financial recovery in personal injury cases is insurance. Insurance companies have one goal in any insurance-related injury case: settle the claim for the lowest possible amount to preserve their own profit. The amount offered by an insurance adjuster reflects not only the extent of a person’s injuries but the risks associated with the case itself.
The higher the risk, the more the insurance company is likely to settle for the maximum amount possible. Insurance companies face the highest amount of risk when a case is placed before a jury. This is why they want to settle a case quickly, and often try to convince the injured party they “don’t need an attorney.” They want to avoid going to trial in most cases.
It may surprise you to learn not all personal injury attorneys are alike. The fact is many injury attorneys have never taken a case to a successful jury verdict. They settle all their cases before trial. Insurance companies keep extensive records on personal injury attorneys across Kentucky and throughout the United States of America.
They know which attorneys are prepared and able to take your case to trial in order to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries, as well as those lawyers who will simply settle your case for a lower amount.
The experienced trial attorneys at HLH prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This ensures our clients have the best opportunity to recover every penny to which they are entitled. Why settle for anything less?
