FAQ

Get answers to commonly asked questions about our legal services and learn how we may assist you with your case.

  • What should I do immediately after being injured in an accident in Kentucky?

    If you’re injured in an accident in Kentucky, you should first and foremost ensure your safety and seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor, as some may not be immediately apparent. 

    Call 911 to report the accident. If you are able, also document the scene with photos and videos and gather information from other drivers and witnesses. File a police report and notify your insurance company promptly, but avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you. 

    Keep detailed records of your medical treatment, expenses, and any impact on your daily life that your injuries have caused, including lost wages from missed time at work. 

    Finally, consulting a personal injury attorney as soon as possible can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights.

    Morgan & Morgan’s experienced attorneys are ready to fight for the compensation you need and deserve to move forward with your life. Contact us today for a free case evaluation to discuss your case.

    Hiring a lawyer from Morgan & Morgan is easy, and you can get started in minutes with a free case evaluation.

  • How do I know if I have a case under Kentucky law?

    If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you might be entitled to compensation. We want to ensure that everyone has access to information and the ability to get justice, so you can simply contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation to learn more about your legal options. Our team can review the details of your situation and advise you on the best course of action.

  • How long after an injury in Kentucky can I file my claim?

    The amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. However, some exceptions may apply, such as in cases involving minors, government entities, or when the injury wasn’t discovered right away.

    It's important to file your claim as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights. Failing to file within the statute of limitations could result in your case being dismissed, meaning you may lose the opportunity to recover compensation for your injuries.

    Since deadlines can vary by state and situation, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the incident to understand the specific timeline for your case. An attorney can help ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.

  • How much does it cost to hire a Kentucky personal injury attorney from Morgan & Morgan?

    Morgan & Morgan’s Kentucky attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that there are no upfront fees or expenses until your case comes to a successful conclusion. That’s right—the Fee Is Freeâ„¢, and you only pay if we win.

    Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount, ensuring we are motivated to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

  • Do I have to pay for a consultation with a Kentucky personal injury lawyer?

    No. Consultations at Morgan & Morgan are completely free. We believe everyone deserves access to legal advice, regardless of their financial situation. 

    Hiring one of our lawyers is easy, and you can get started in minutes with a free case evaluation on our site or by phone.

  • What sort of compensation can I recover from a Kentucky personal injury case?

    If you've been injured in Kentucky, due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to various types of compensation through a personal injury claim. The amount and types of compensation you can recover will depend on the specifics of your case, but here are the most common forms of compensation available.

     

    Medical Expenses

    You can recover compensation for both current and future medical costs related to your injury. This includes:

    • Emergency room visits
    • Hospital stays
    • Surgeries
    • Doctor appointments
    • Prescription medications
    • Rehabilitation and physical therapy
    • Medical equipment (crutches, braces)

     

    Lost Wages

    If your injury causes you to miss work, you can seek compensation for the income you lost during your recovery. Additionally, if your injuries are severe and affect your ability to work in the future, you may also be entitled to compensation for lost earning capacity.

     

    Pain and Suffering

    Non-economic damages like pain and suffering can be awarded to compensate for the physical and emotional distress caused by the injury. This type of compensation accounts for:

    • Physical pain
    • Emotional trauma (anxiety, depression)
    • Reduced quality of life (inability to enjoy activities you once did)

     

    Property Damage

    If your personal property, such as a vehicle, was damaged in the accident, you could recover compensation to repair or replace it.

     

    Loss of Consortium

    If your injuries have negatively affected your relationship with your spouse, such as a loss of companionship or intimacy, your spouse may be able to seek damages for loss of consortium.

     

    Permanent Disability or Disfigurement

    In cases where the injury results in long-term or permanent disabilities, you can seek compensation for future medical needs, adaptive equipment, or alterations to your home to accommodate your condition. If disfigurement is involved, such as scars or the loss of a limb, additional compensation may be awarded.

     

    Punitive Damages

    In rare cases, where the at-fault party acted with extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages. These are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

     

    Wrongful Death

    If a loved one died due to the accident, family members can file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of future income, and loss of companionship.

     

    Other Related Expenses

    You may also recover other expenses related to your injury, such as transportation costs for medical appointments, home modifications needed to accommodate a disability, and costs for assistive devices like wheelchairs.

    Every case is unique, and the specific compensation you may recover will depend on the circumstances of your injury and the extent of your damages. At Morgan & Morgan, our experienced attorneys will thoroughly assess your case and fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

  • Will my personal injury case in Kentucky go to trial or settle out of court?

    Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. Settling out of court can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve a case depending on the facts of the case. 

    However, whether your case will settle or go to trial depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the other party to negotiate, and your own preferences. At Morgan & Morgan, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are ready to fight for the maximum compensation possible. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court.

  • How long does a personal injury lawsuit in Kentucky take to resolve?

    The duration of a personal injury lawsuit varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to reach a settlement. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years, especially if they go to trial. 

    At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys work diligently to move your case forward as efficiently as possible while ensuring no corners are cut. We will provide you with an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case and keep you informed of any changes. To learn more, get a free case evaluation today.
