Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Elizabethtown

Whether you were hit by another driver or hurt in another incident, we want to pursue compensation from the liable party. We handle different types of personal injury claims, such as:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) accidents: TBI is caused when there is trauma to the brain that causes damage. This can result in memory loss, headaches, dizziness, seizures, confusion, personality changes, and other symptoms. The most common cause of TBI is car accidents, but it can happen in many ways, including sports-related incidents, falls, assaults, and work-related accidents.
• Dog bites: Most people who get bitten by dogs don’t even know they have been injured until later. Dogs can be dangerous because they often have sharp teeth and powerful jaws. They also tend to attack without warning.
• Nursing home abuse accidents: Nursing home abuse accidents are unfortunately common. Many elderly patients live in nursing homes because their health has deteriorated, so they cannot care for themselves. Unfortunately, some nursing home staff members use physical force against these vulnerable patients.
• Wrongful death accidents: When someone dies due to the fault of another person, that person is responsible for paying damages. To recover damages for wrongful death, you must prove that the defendant was negligent. Negligence means that the defendant failed to act reasonably under the circumstances.
• Catastrophic injuries: Catastrophic injuries are serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long recovery times. These injuries include amputations, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burns, and more.
• Car accidents:Car accidents are among the leading causes of traumatic brain injury. These accidents can involve any vehicle, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
• Rideshare accidents: Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are becoming increasingly popular. However, ridesharing companies are often not required to provide insurance coverage for passengers. As a result, you could be left with no recourse if you are involved in a ridesharing accident.
• Truck accidents: Truck accidents are very common. Because of the size of trucks, they can easily cause severe injuries to victims.
• Workplace accidents: Workplace accidents occur all too frequently. Workers may suffer injuries while working on construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, farms, mines, restaurants, hotels, and other workplaces.
• Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice occurs when doctors fail to diagnose or treat illnesses properly.

Our Elizabethtown personal injury attorneys can figure out who caused or contributed to your accident and fight to hold them accountable. We may discover that multiple parties owe you compensation, and we can seek awards from each of them.

Compensation Can Help You Recover

You might have already accrued expensive medical bills immediately after the accident, but your treatment may not stop there. You may require ongoing rehabilitation and care, and you do not deserve to shoulder this burden for years.

Our legal team can negotiate for fair compensation, so you do not suffer further accident-related losses in the future. We also want to ensure your award account for future expenses since you cannot seek additional compensation once you accept an offer.

You may recover:

• Hospital stays
• Doctor’s visits
• Surgeries
• Medications
• Diagnostic testing, such as MRIs and scans
• Medical equipment, such as crutches, braces, and slings
• In-home aid
• Home modifications
• Lost wages, including bonuses, benefits and paid leave
• Reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to work
• Pain and suffering for your physical and emotional anguish
• Loss of quality of life
• Disability
• Scarring and disfigurement

Other damages may apply, and we can help assess your current and future losses.

Wrongful Death Damages

Accident-related injuries sometimes prove fatal, causing devastation to a family. No one deserves to lose their loved one due to another’s negligence. We can help file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit and fight for awards to cover:

• Funeral and burial/cremation expenses
• Your loved one’s medical expenses
• Your loved one’s pain and suffering
• The income your loved one provided
• The companionship your loved one provided
• Lost wages if you took time off to tend to your loved one before their passing

Right now, you will want to focus on grieving in peace with your family. While you honor the memory of your loved one, we can handle your case.

You Have a Deadline to Meet if You Want to File a Lawsuit in Kentucky

It’s important to keep Kentucky’s statutes of limitations in mind if you plan on filing a lawsuit. The state has a variety of deadlines that apply to different cases, such as:

• Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230, which usually allows you to file a lawsuit for a car accident within two years from the date of the crash, a victim’s passing, or the last PIP payment to file a personal injury lawsuit.
• Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1), which generally gives you one year to file a personal injury lawsuit.
• Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.180, which generally allows you one year to bring a wrongful death lawsuit, starting from the date of your loved one’s passing or the estate representative’s appointment.

What If You Miss the Deadline?

If you miss these deadlines, you could see your case dismissed from court and lose your last chance to seek compensation. Few exceptions apply, and our lawyers can determine how long you have to take legal action against a liable party.

Remember, it takes time to investigate an accident and gather evidence. We may also begin by filing a claim and negotiating with insurers, which also takes a while. None of these actions stall the deadlines for filing a lawsuit, though.

Our lawyers can keep an eye on your deadline as they work on your case. Still, the sooner you call, the better we can protect your rights to compensation. We can get started once you call for your free initial consultation.
