Personal Injury Lawyer in Lexington, Kentucky
Few events can disrupt your life more than an unexpected injury. Whether you are facing an extended hospital stay, long term rehabilitation, or lost wages, your life may be turned upside down after your injury. We are here to help make your life whole again. The decisions you make soon after your injury will lay the groundwork for your future compensation.
Contact Us Soon
One of the most important rules governing any personal injury case is the statute of limitations. If your case is not filed within a certain amount of time after the accident, then you will likely be forever barred from obtaining any compensation. Therefore, it is extremely important that you contact an attorney soon so they may file your case before time runs out.
Call Us Before Signing A Release
Many times an insurance company will try and offer some type of settlement to you very soon after an accident. This offer can be very appealing as the money could be put to use immediately. However, we would encourage you to call our firm, or any attorney of your choosing, before signing any type of release with the insurance company. If the release is accepted, then you will not likely be able to file any type of claim for greater compensation in the future.
The benefit of contacting an attorney quickly cannot be overstated. First of all, our firm will not charge you anything unless we recover money on your behalf. The attorney’s fees from our personal injury cases are handled differently than other areas of our practice. Generally speaking, there will be no upfront costs paid by our clients. The firm will front the costs of filing the court action, hiring experts as needed, and preparing for trial. After an initial consultation, if a retainer agreement is signed by both parties then a contingency fee will likely be setup. Our client will generally have no out of pocket expenses unless a settlement is reached or a verdict rendered in our favor. In other words, we only get paid if you get paid.
