Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case?

Timelines vary. Some claims resolve in a few months; others may require litigation. We provide honest timelines based on your case. 

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Kentucky’s comparative fault law allows you to recover compensation even if you’re partially responsible, though your recovery may be reduced.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring any accident reports, medical records, insurance documents, and correspondence you’ve received. The more information, the better we can advise you.

What happens if the at-fault driver is uninsured?

If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still have options through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We can review your policy and pursue all available avenues for compensation.
