We believe strongly that people who have been injured should be treated with compassion and respect. We are ready to help you deal with the financial disruption and stress caused by a serious accident.
How Can an Attorney at Frank Jenkins Law Help Me?
Once we accept your case, we will conduct a detailed investigation of the accident, whether it is a car crash, slip and fall accident or other type of personal injury.
We will identify all the potentially liable parties and the insurance policies available to provide compensation. If multiple parties are jointly liable for an accident, it may expand the insurance compensation available to a person who has been injured.
We will make an estimate of your losses associated with the accident including medical bills for treatment of injuries, lost work time, future lost income if you cannot return to work, and other expenses. The effects of a serious injury can be life-altering and leave you with a permanent disability.
Once we have gathered all the evidence, we will prepare and submit a claim for full compensation to the appropriate insurance company or companies. We will negotiate aggressively for a settlement. If we are unable to obtain a reasonable settlement, we will be ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf, after consulting with you. We are confident in our litigation skills if a case proceeds to court. But most cases are resolved without a trial.
When Should I File A Lawsuit?
The experienced legal team at Frank Jenkins Law Office understands that most people would prefer to avoid a lawsuit or trial. Our attorneys work to negotiate a satisfactory settlement of an injury claim without filing a lawsuit when possible. A settlement allows for a quicker resolution of a legal matter and enables you to get the compensation you need to move forward.
When an insurance company representing an at-fault party refuses to agree to a just settlement, you may need to file a lawsuit to hold the at-fault party accountable. Kentucky law permits people who have been injured by the negligence of others to seek compensation to be made whole. If you or your loved one has significant medical expenses and other losses related to a car accident caused by another driver, you should not have to pay those expenses. The at-fault driver and their insurer should pay those expenses. We will negotiate vigorously to obtain full and fair compensation for you. We will keep you informed of our progress in resolving your claim and will consult with you when it is appropriate in our opinion to file a personal injury lawsuit. Even after we file a lawsuit, our injury attorneys will continue trying to reach a just settlement. Most cases are settled out of court.
Civil lawsuits involving serious personal injuries in Versailles and elsewhere in Woodford County are filed in Woodford County Circuit Court. The Circuit Court has jurisdiction of civil lawsuits in which more than $5,000 is in dispute.
