Frequently Asked Questions

Being injured in an accident is something no one expects. Considering hiring an attorney to pursue compensation for your injuries can be overwhelming because you may feel so unprepared for the journey ahead. As your attorneys, we’re here to help you navigate this unfamiliar road and answer every question you have along the way.

While you’re considering your options, we hope these answers to some of the questions you might have are helpful.

What is a personal injury claim? Is it the same thing as a personal injury lawsuit?

A personal injury claim is what someone who has been injured in an accident files with the responsible party’s insurance company. In the case of a vehicular accident, Kentucky is a “choice no-fault” state. You can file your claim with your own insurance company first to take advantage of your PIP coverage, or you can submit a Kentucky No-Fault Rejection Form with the state so you can file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company.

When you file a personal injury claim, the claim may be resolved when the insurance company agrees to fully compensate you for your injuries and losses. Sometimes, the insurance company isn’t willing to compensate you or doesn’t agree to pay you the compensation that your claim is worth. If this happens, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party.

A personal injury lawsuit is a legal action that is resolved in court. You may or may not be awarded compensation for your losses, and the amount you may be awarded is decided by a jury or judge.

How long after I’ve been injured can I pursue compensation?

You don’t have to wait a specific amount of time to pursue compensation for your injuries. You do, however, have a tight window within which to file a personal injury lawsuit against the person who harmed you. Each state has a statute of limitations that specifies a period of time within which you can pursue legal action against someone. If you wait to file a lawsuit after the statutory deadline expires, you’ll lose the ability to pursue that action. In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is one year from the date the accident occurred or the date that you discovered your injuries.

What losses can I be compensated for?

After someone or a company causes you to suffer from serious injuries, you can face insurmountable losses. The expenses of medical treatment for your injuries and the personal impact of your injuries on your life can be incredible. You can be compensated for these losses, which may include:

Medical costs of treatment for your injuries, including future medical costs
Lost income or wages
Loss of future earning ability
Property damage
Permanent disability, disfigurement, or scarring
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Loss of consortium after losing a spouse
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of quality of life

If your case is litigated in court and is successful, you could also be awarded punitive damages. There’s a high bar to be awarded punitive damages, however. You have to show clear and convincing evidence that the person who injured you acted with malice or that they defrauded or oppressed you.

As your attorneys, we’ll calculate the objective costs of your losses like your medical costs and lost income or wages. We’ll also determine the personal emotional and mental costs you’ve suffered. We’ll fight hard to obtain full compensation for all of your losses.
