Don't Pay for Someone Else's Negligence
You may have grounds for a personal injury claim if you were involved in a:
- Car accident. Whether you're hit by a drunk or otherwise reckless driver, you shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes.
- Slip-and-fall accident. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe spaces. If you slipped and fell on wet flooring, you may be entitled to compensation.
After any of these incidents, it can be difficult to know whether your injuries are serious enough to justify calling an injury attorney Louisville accident victims can rely on. We encourage you to reach out even if you are unsure, because a short conversation can clarify whether your medical bills, lost income, and pain could be recoverable under Kentucky law. By acting quickly, you give us more time to preserve evidence, speak with witnesses, and coordinate with your doctors to document the full impact of your injuries.
Understanding Kentucky Personal Injury Laws
In Kentucky, personal injury claims are governed by common law and statutory regulations, including the "pure comparative fault" rule, which allows recovery even if you share some blame, though compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Experienced attorneys are essential to navigate these rules and counter attempts to undervalue your claim.
Kentucky also uses a "no-fault" car insurance system, requiring injured parties to seek compensation from their own insurer first, which can complicate claims. Schuler Law Office handles these processes, accounts for local court procedures in Jefferson County and other jurisdictions, and guides clients through timelines, settlements, and trial preparation to maximize recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally one year from the date of the accident or incident. This period can vary depending on the specifics of the case, such as the discovery of an injury that wasn't immediately apparent. It is crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney soon after your accident to ensure you meet all legal deadlines and preserve your right to compensation. Schuler Law Office can help you through this process, ensuring all necessary legal requirements are met in a timely manner.
What Compensation Can I Expect from a Personal Injury Claim?
The compensation from a personal injury claim in Kentucky can cover various damages. These typically include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in certain cases, punitive damages. The total compensation will depend on factors such as the extent of your injuries, the clarity of liability, and the evidence presented. At Schuler Law Office, we work diligently to understand all aspects of your case to argue for the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.
What Steps Should I Take Immediately After an Injury?
Following an injury, your priority should be to seek medical attention immediately, even if the injuries appear minor at first.
