Yes. The deadlines for filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim vary according to the state. Because these are often complex cases, it is best to begin work on yours as soon as possible.
In Kentucky, the Motor Vehicle Reparations Act extends the normal one-year statute of limitations to two years. A claim against the operator of a motor vehicle must be brought within two years of the date of the wreck or the date of the last PIP payment, whichever is later. The statute of limitations applicable to car accident lawsuits is not the same as the one applicable to most other personal injury claims. Kentucky Revised Statutes § 304.39-230 provides that any driver, passenger, motorcycle rider, pedestrian, or bicyclist who is injured in a crash involving an automobile or truck has two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party in the state’s civil court system. The statute of limitations starts running on the date of the accident (or the date of the last PIP payment), while the deadline for a claim involving wrongful death may begin running as early as the date the individual passes away.
If you think it is at all possible that your injury or the death of a loved one in or around Louisville was because of someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you should contact Becker Law Office for legal assistance today.
A personal injury lawsuit typically asks for economic and noneconomic damages (compensation). Economic damages reimburse you for bills you have because of an injury, such as for medical expenses, income, and other losses. Noneconomic damages are for pain and suffering. What’s important is ensuring that your claim asks for all of the compensation to which you are entitled.
The compensation you demand in a lawsuit will depend on the type of claim, your losses and, to some extent, where your injury occurred. (Becker Law Office pursues cases in Kentucky and across the nation.)
In general, a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit asks for the plaintiff to be compensated for:
A lawsuit should be drafted to account for past, current and future losses. This requires a projection of how well you are likely to recover from your injuries and what your medical needs may be in the years ahead. In cases of a disabling injury, your medical expenses and losses may be ongoing.
Noneconomic damages may be awarded as a multiple of medical expenses.
In some cases, a plaintiff may also seek a punitive damages award. This is a payment that is meant to punish a defendant who has acted in flagrant violation of the law or with egregious disregard for others’ safety.
In short, a personal injury lawyer stands up for your rights if you have been injured by someone else. If another party’s actions (referred to as “recklessness”) or inaction (negligence) caused your injury, they owe you compensation for your losses. A personal injury lawyer makes sure you get what you are owed.
If you have been injured by another party, the compensation you may obtain for your losses is paid according to complex laws and, in most cases, comes from liability insurance. Both the law and the insurance company can stand in the way of you receiving what you deserve. Your lawyer works to help you overcome these obstacles.
An experienced personal injury attorney can investigate your accident to compile the evidence required by law to prove the harm done to you, establish who or what organization (a business, hospital, manufacturer, local government, etc.) is legally responsible, and calculate what compensation is required to make you financially whole. Once we have developed a solid case, we can stand up to the insurance company that would deny the payment you are due.
In addition to obtaining a settlement or court award, your personal injury attorney handles the logistics of your claim. This includes everything from preparing and filing paperwork to working with healthcare providers and other creditors to ensure that a claim for compensation that will be used to pay them is underway.
A Becker Law Office personal injury attorney stands at your side for the length of your recovery from a serious accident. We take on the burden of the legal work required to ensure your financial recovery so that you can put your efforts toward a physical and emotional recovery from the injuries you have suffered.
First, look for an experienced attorney and law firm. Your legal representatives should have a track record of handling cases like yours, and you will want to be sure that they have obtained positive results for past clients. Your law firm should be ready to work with you whether you want to settle or have a full jury trial, so you should also look for trial experience.
Second, you should work with an attorney who is empathetic about your situation and treats you with dignity. While we have all seen the caricature of the arrogant lawyer, you do not need to accept such behavior from your personal legal representative.
Third, it is far better to choose an attorney who is highly experienced in cases similar to yours than to choose a law firm just because it is nearby. At Becker Law Office, we have worked with clients from every region of the U.S. and we have participated in trials in different states, both in state courts and federal courts. Legal knowledge and trial preparation skills should be the primary consideration in your choice of a law firm.
In our experience, lawsuits can sometimes be lengthy, anywhere from six months to several years. This is especially true when injuries are extensive and the medical treatment may take a while. Based on our experience, and as your treatment progresses, your legal team at Becker Law Office will advise you on approximately how long your particular case may take. At each step in the process, we will confer with you so you can make an informed decision on whether to continue the lawsuit process or accept a settlement if one has been offered.
All your medical costs should be handled in the normal fashion. If you have personal health insurance, you should file expenses as usual. If you receive Medicare, you should also file as normal.
The plain answer is, “Nothing.” We take on each case after careful screening because we earn our fees on a contingency basis. The Becker Law Office policy is simple: You pay us absolutely nothing unless we win or settle your case. In addition, if we accept your case we will advance all the legal costs and fees necessary, including filing fees, fees for expert witnesses and other costs. If we are successful and recover money for you, we ask you to pay us a reasonable percentage of the total award, plus costs and expenses which we advanced on your behalf. We will only recover these fees and costs when your case has a successful outcome by settlement or award.
