At some point after a lawsuit is filed, there is typically settlement talks with the other party – usually with their insurance carrier.

And like any negotiation, the more information you have, the better-off you will be during these talks.

That’s why I urge all my car & truck accident clients to document everything….starting on the day of the accident.

If we have information useful to your case from….

• The day of your accident;
• All records pertaining to the accident;
• And what I call a daily diary of what you’ve been through,

….expect a larger settlement offer.

It’s so important to note everything pertaining to the accident and it’s impact on your life.

The more information you possess, the better the settlement offer will be.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Campbell County, Boone County or Kenton County, please give my office a call at 859 441 5400. The call is free and all we’ll do is discuss what happened and if I can help.

I’ll pass along one bit of advice – do not speak with them.

When it’s you against a trucking company or its insurance company, it is not a level playing field.

Many truck companies are very skilled at truck accident investigations and their insurance adjustors are some of the most skilled in the country.

Add these adjusters represent the truck company and could care less about you.

Do not sign anything.  Do not even speak with them.

If you have been involved in an accident with truck or semi, speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

If you live in Northern Kentucky, or anywhere in Kentucky for that matter, you can call me office for a free consultation. You can get answers to your questions and find out a little more about what your options are.  I can be reached at 859 441 5400.

Since 2008, more than 100,000 people have been injured, many seriously, after an accident with a truck or big-rig.

In Kentucky, there are a number of situations or reasons why a truck could cause an accident. Here are a number of the more common reasons I’ve seen.

• Truck Driver Fatigue
• Truck Driver Negligence
• Drug Use
• Semi Truck Equipment Failures
• Failure to brake or unexpected breaking
• Reckless driving or speeding
• Driving under the influence (DUI)/drunk driving
• Weather and road conditions
• Load shifts
• Improper road/shoulder pull-overs

If you, or members of your family, were injured in an accident involving a truck or semi, and it appears the truck was the reason why, please make sure you speak with a qualified attorney.

Trucking companies have some of the most aggressive insurance adjustors and attorneys on call 24 hours a day just to protect their interests – not yours.

If you have questions you’d like answered, or you are being pressured by trucking company representatives, give my office a call at 859 441 5400 for a free consultation.   I’ll take the time to answer your questions.

In Kentucky, the individual that was was injured can sue, and in some cases a spouse can sue as well.

If a death occurred, a family member can pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of all family members and can pursue a lawsuit against the truck driver and trucking company.

Truck accident lawsuits are extremely complicated due to the aggressive position that trucking companies and their insurance companies take.

So, if you, or a family member, has been injured or killed in a truck accident and need your questions answered, please call my office at 859 441 5400.

If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Kentucky, there are 2 ways you can hire an attorney.

If there are no real injuries and you’re having issues with insurance coverage and payments, you can hire an attorney at an hourly rate of somewhere between $150 – $400.

But if someone has suffered serious injuries in a car accident and you need the help of a personal injury attorney, you can retain the services of an attorney on a contingency fee basis.

What that typically means is that if you do not win in court or reach a settlement, the attorney does not get paid.

For car accidents that result in serious injuries caused by the negligence of someone else, that is how I work.

If you, or family members have been hurt in an auto accident in Northern Kentucky, give me a call at 859 441 5400 for a free consultation to see if I can help.

I hear it all the time….the other driver is lying about what happened before and during the car accident.

And though both parties completed an accident report, the cops can’t determine who is at fault.

A good attorney will carefully review the report and any other evidence.

Many times, I’ve been able to find inconsistencies in the report the other driver filed and am able to prove that their statement was false.

So, don’t get bent out of shape about it. If you believe the other party is lying about what happened, get a good attorney and let them sort it out.

If you’re involved in a car accident in Kentucky, yes, you do. In fact, if your health insurance is through your employer, you have to pay them back 100% of what they paid.

Technically, health insurance companies are entitled to the first dollar before even the attorney fees and cost of the case are paid. Though, some health insurance companies will negotiate under these terms.

If you had medicare or medicaid, they are also entitled to paid back.

However, it’s probably a smart idea to hire an attorney because they can help negotiate what is owed.
