Our Bardstown personal injury lawyers can represent you and fight for what you deserve. You may recover awards for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, so we do not charge upfront fees or costs.

You May Stand to Recover a Variety of Damages
Your potential compensation depends on your injuries and the losses they caused. When we account for your damages, we will leave no stone unturned. This enables us to seek fair compensation and prevent you from suffering further losses down the line.
Current Losses
Your injuries may have caused immediate losses. If you had to go to the emergency room, for example, you have already accumulated medical bills. You may have expenses from:
- Diagnostic testing
- Surgeries
- Specialists
- Medical equipment
- Medication
Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may have also had to miss work. You can seek compensation for your medical bills and lost wages.
We can communicate with your doctors and look into your wage statements to determine how much you stand to recover.
Future Losses
Your injuries may also warrant awards for future losses. For example, a permanent impairment can require treatment and rehabilitation for years. You may have to undergo physical therapy for the rest of your life.
You and your family don’t deserve to foot the bill for this expense. We can consult your doctors and other medical experts to understand what your ongoing recovery will cost.
You may also pursue reduced earning capacity if you cannot return to work. You can even seek this damage if you can only perform a portion of your previous duties. You may recoup the difference between your pre-injury income and what you can earn now.
Non-economic Losses
You may also qualify for an award for non-economic losses if you file a lawsuit or third-party liability claim. We can use a couple of different methods to assign a dollar value to your pain and suffering.
If your injuries lead to a permanent disability, you may never be able to live the same way you once did. You may not be able to engage in the same hobbies, and you may need assistance with daily activities. If this is the case, you can seek damages for loss of quality of life.

You Have a Limited Time to Act
If you choose to file a lawsuit, you should be aware of the various statutes of limitations in Kentucky. If you fail to meet a deadline, you could lose your chance to hold a liable party accountable in court.
Keep the following deadlines in mind:
- Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230 generally gives you two years from the date of a car accident, a victim’s passing, or the last PIP payment to file a lawsuit.
- Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1) generally only gives you one year to file a personal injury lawsuit.
- Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.180 generally only allows you one year to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. The deadline starts counting down from the date of your loved one’s passing or the appointment of the estate representative.
