Our Louisville, Kentucky, based personal injury law practice handles a full range of accidents and injuries including the following:

Accidents and Negligent Actions

Auto accidents: Louisville, Kentucky is located at the crossroads of three major interstate highways (I-64, I-65 and I-71). Auto accidents are frequent occurrences in the area of the famous "spaghetti junction" that joins these highways. We handle auto accidents cases involving:

• Rear end collisions
• Hit and run incidences
• Drunk drivers
• Uninsured or underinsured motorists
• Pedestrians
• Bicycles

Motorcycle accidents: We can help collect compensation for present and future medical treatment and rehabilitation and for the need of adaptive equipment such as a cane, walker, wheelchair, and special transportation to get to doctors' appointments. We also seek compensation for lost wages, if necessary.

Tractor trailer accidents: To determine the cause of a big rig accident such as a jackknife, rollover or collision, our aggressive personal injury lawyers leave no stone unturned in their investigation of a crash. We work fast to procure and analyze all available evidence, including the truck's "black box", the driver's log, and eyewitness reports.

Aviation accidents: Each victim of an airplane accident may have a different case, depending on the particular circumstances of the accident and the victims' experiences. We help victims and their families recover damages for injuries or wrongful death.

Slip and fall accidents: Whether you think your injury is moderate or severe, and whether or not you believe you were at fault, you owe it to yourself to seek professional legal advice before settling or accepting "no settlement" after a trip and fall accident.

Construction accidents: We may discover that scaffolding was not erected correctly, a ladder or forklift was improperly constructed, or that a nail gun was missing industry-standard safety features. A power tool may not have been labeled as it should have been to sufficiently notify users of risks.

Injuries

Brain injury: After a motor vehicle accident, an injured person with any degree of head injury is strongly urged to obtain a PET scan (which is "used to evaluate patients who have memory disorders of an undetermined cause, suspected or proven brain tumors or seizure disorders," according to the American College of Radiology.)

Spinal cord injury: The lifetime costs of 24/7 care which many spinal cord victims will require are formidable in most cases. Many victims will need to be on ventilators in their own homes for the rest of their lives. Even with excellent care, spinal cord victims typically face the prospect of shortened lives.

Whiplash: Many personal injury law firms decline to consider soft tissue injury claims, presuming that they are minor injuries. In fact, a back or neck injury can develop into chronic pain, and leave a victim unable to work or enjoy life as prior to the accident.

Dog bites: Dog bites can cause infection, disfigurement or permanent scarring. Skin grafts and plastic surgery may even be necessary.

Electrocutions: Electrocutions are often considered to be freak accidents, but in fact, there is often some source of compensation available for the victim.

Wrongful death: After an accidental death, family members are often bewildered as to what to do and how to proceed. There are many legal, financial, and logistical details to deal with at a time of shock, sadness, and stress. We can help you through this troubled time.

Burns: Burns can cause permanent scarring or disfigurement. We will hold the negligent party responsible for your injuries.
