Our personal injury attorneys have successfully assisted other high-value traffic accident victims. We can apply our years of experience to help you get the results you need.
The immediate aftermath of an automobile wreck can be confusing. However, if you know what steps to take, you can protect your legal rights and boost your ability to pursue damages in a lawsuit.
If you are involved in a crash, you should seek medical attention. Even if you feel you have escaped the accident without serious harm, you should still see a doctor. Some injuries, such as brain trauma and internal organ damage, are not always immediately apparent. The shock of the traumatic accident could temporarily prevent you from feeling pain.
If you do not receive care, your injuries could worsen, leading to severe consequences. Additionally, seeking medical attention promptly helps strengthen your legal claim for damages by linking your injuries to the accident.
Reporting your accident sends a police officer to the scene. The officer can gather the names and contact information of everyone involved and investigate the wreck. Our lawyers can later use the officer’s preliminary notes as a starting point for our own in-depth investigation and building of your legal claim.
You should gather as much information as possible about the accident. If you are unable to gather information at the time of the crash due to your injuries, try documenting the accident later. You should preserve receipts and bills, maintain notes detailing your injuries and recovery, and record any other effects the accident has had on your overall quality of life.
Our dedicated attorneys in Lexington can build strong claims for full compensation in severe automobile crash cases.
If you share some of the blame for the crash, you might be worried about your right to pursue a legal claim. Fortunately, Kentucky law is very generous in comparative fault situations. Even if you were more to blame than another driver, you would still be eligible to pursue damages, as state law operates on a pure comparative fault standard.
However, a court would reduce your recoverable damages by your proportion of fault for contributing to the accident. For instance, if you failed to slow down at a yellow light and a drunk driver crashed into you at an intersection, the court might determine that your actions were 30 percent to blame for the crash, while the intoxicated driver was 70 percent at fault. In that scenario, if you prevail in your lawsuit, you would likely recover only 70 percent of your full damages.
Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car wreck claims in Lexington involving comparative negligence. We can explain how the process works and help you maximize your recoverable compensation.
A serious car crash can completely alter your life. A dedicated and experienced Lexington car accident lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of a legal claim for compensation.
