Common Types of Compensation in Louisville Pedestrian Accidents

Every pedestrian accident is unique, and this applies to the possible damages. However, some of the common types of compensation our attorneys at Morgan & Morgan frequently work to recover include:

Physical injuries and pain
Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Emotional distress
Psychological harm due to the accident

If your injuries are severe enough to prevent you from returning to work, you may be eligible to receive compensation for lost wages. If your injuries affect your ability to work long-term, you may also be able to claim a loss of future earnings. Remember, every pedestrian injury case is different, which is why it’s best to schedule a free consultation with one of our specialists.

Determining Fault in a Pedestrian Accident

Kentucky is a comparative fault state, and this can affect your compensation amount. Comparative fault laws allow you to recover damages, even if you are found to be partially responsible for the accident. Your compensation amount is reduced by the percentage of fault the judge or jury decides. For example, if you’re found to be 10% responsible, your compensation amount will be reduced by the same percentage.

To help prove fault, our attorneys will thoroughly investigate the accident and work to help ensure you receive full and fair compensation. We will help you seek justice and hold the responsible individuals financially accountable for their negligent actions.
