If you’ve been hurt in a car accident, medical treatment is often your primary concern – but paying for your medical bills soon becomes a priority. When your injuries were caused by the reckless or negligent behavior of another driver, you shouldn’t have to worry about the bills for the medical care that you need. Nor should you have to worry about your ability to earn a living or the additional burden on your family finances.
You might assume that the other driver’s insurance company will handle your bills, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. Insurance companies are not in business to pay out substantial amounts of money in damages; their goal is to minimize their financial loss by either denying your claim or offering a settlement that may be less than your actual damages. Often insurers will send release forms to injury victims, who may sign these documents without realizing they have just given up their right to take legal action.
An experienced personal injury attorney can deal directly with the insurance company on your behalf to obtain a fair settlement. However, there are specific time limitations on car accident cases, so it’s important to act promptly. In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for a car accident lawsuit is two years – either from the date of the accident or the last no-fault payment (payment by your automotive or health insurance company for medical bills or lost wages). If you don’t file within this time limit, you lose the opportunity to bring a legal action against the driver or company responsible for your injuries.
The legal staff of the Frank Jenkins Law Office has represented many Kentuckians injured in car accidents, and we know how to document key evidence essential to your case. We also know insurance companies – and we use our experience to deal more effectively with insurers and obtain the maximum compensation for our clients.
The Frank Jenkins Law Office will conduct a thorough assessment of your case and review all available options to build a strategy with your best interests in mind. If you don’t know whether your situation requires a lawsuit or legal action, we can provide an initial consultation for FREE to determine if you have a case. We will meet with clients in our office, in the hospital, or at home if necessary.
Your right to justice shouldn’t be compromised because of concerns over payment. We handle most cases on a contingency basis*, which means you pay nothing up front and will only pay an attorney fee when we settle or win your case.
