View our results to see how we’ve helped clients recover compensation across various personal injury cases.

We know how disruptive an injury can be–physically, emotionally, and financially. Recovery often brings uncertainty, especially when it involves missed work, extended treatment, or ongoing rehabilitation. We work closely with each client to develop a legal strategy tailored to their needs. We aim to alleviate some of the stress of the process so that clients can focus on healing while we handle the legal work.

We Specialize in the Following Personal Injury Cases

Car Accidents

Car crashes are among the most common personal injury claims in Kentucky. Whether you’re dealing with a distracted driver, a rear-end collision, or a serious crash on a Lexington roadway, we step in to handle the legal details while you focus on recovery. A personal injury lawyer at our firm can help gather evidence, communicate with insurers, and determine what compensation you’re entitled to under Kentucky’s comparative fault rules. We assess the long-term impact of your injuries and build a case that reflects the full scope of your damages.

Medical bills, car repairs, and missed work can quickly pile up after a collision. In more severe cases, clients may suffer permanent disabilities that limit their ability to return to work or maintain their prior lifestyle. We work to ensure that every aspect of your losses is included when calculating damages, from current expenses to future care needs, ensuring your claim reflects your reality.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks, especially on rural and winding roads throughout Central Kentucky. Without the physical protection of a vehicle, riders are far more vulnerable to serious or catastrophic injuries, including broken bones, road rash, spinal trauma, and traumatic brain injuries. Unfortunately, bias against motorcyclists still exists and can affect how insurers or opposing counsel evaluate the facts of your case.

We challenge those assumptions through diligent investigation and effective advocacy. Our firm takes the time to determine what happened, whether it involved a negligent driver, dangerous road conditions, or mechanical failure. A personal injury attorney on our team will pursue full compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and long-term care. We understand how devastating motorcycle crashes can be and are here to help protect your rights.

Trucking & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Crashes involving commercial vehicles are often more complex than standard car accidents. These cases may involve multiple parties, such as the driver, employer, fleet operator, or even truck manufacturer. We have experience addressing the legal and regulatory issues that often arise, including violations of safety protocols, driver fatigue, and improper loading.

From reviewing driver logs to analyzing black box data and maintenance records, we conduct a thorough investigation to identify liability and contributing factors. Our team builds strong cases that reflect the full scope of the physical, emotional, and financial harm these collisions cause. We represent clients injured in accidents involving semi-trucks, delivery vehicles, and other commercial fleets throughout the region.

Slip & Fall Accidents

Property owners are legally obligated to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When a hazard like a wet floor, broken stairs, or poorly lit walkway leads to injury, the property owner may be liable for failing to correct the issue or warn others. A personal injury lawyer from our firm can evaluate your claim and explain the steps involved in pursuing compensation.

We represent clients injured in public and private locations, including retail stores, restaurants, office buildings, and apartment complexes. Our role is to determine whether the property owner breached their duty of care and to pursue a claim that reflects the extent of your injuries. A personal injury lawyer from our team will work to ensure every part of your recovery is accounted for, including medical costs, pain and suffering, and long-term effects.

Dog Bites

Dog bite injuries can lead to lasting physical and emotional trauma, especially for children and older adults. Kentucky law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets, even if the dog had no prior history of aggression. If you or your child has been bitten, a personal injury attorney can help you understand your legal rights and the types of compensation available.

We understand that these situations can be difficult, particularly when the dog’s owner is someone close to you. We help you navigate the legal process with professionalism and care. A personal injury lawyer at our firm will focus on securing damages for medical care, any necessary follow-up treatment, and the emotional toll caused by the attack.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one because of another person’s actions is one of the most painful events a family can face. We represent surviving family members in wrongful death claims involving car accidents, defective products, medical negligence, and other preventable tragedies. A personal injury lawyer from our office can help you understand your options and handle the legal process with sensitivity.

We pursue compensation for funeral expenses, the loss of future earnings, and the emotional impact of losing a spouse, parent, or child. These cases are never easy, but we offer families the support they need while building a strong legal case. Working with a personal injury lawyer allows you to hold the responsible party accountable and secure the financial support your family may need.

Other Personal Injury Cases We Help With

In addition to the abovementioned areas, we handle many personal injury claims involving unsafe conditions, defective products, and intentional harm. No matter how complex the circumstances, we are prepared to evaluate your case and pursue the appropriate legal remedy.

We handle cases involving:

• ATV accidents
• Boating & watercraft accidents
• Construction accidents
• Product liability (defects in design, manufacturing, or warning)
• Defective pharmaceutical products or drugs
• Defective equipment
• Defective machinery
• Defective medical devices
• Intentional torts
• Medical malpractice
• Toxic exposure (chemicals, hazardous waste, pesticides, & radiation)

Understanding The Damages Awarded in a Personal Injury Case

You may be entitled to damages if another’s negligence injured you or a loved one. Damages are awarded to an injured person to compensate them (“make them whole again”) and to deter the defendant, or other parties, from committing future harmful acts. Economic damages may include:

• Wage loss
• Hospital bills
• Prescription bills
• Rehabilitation bills

In addition to financial costs, injury victims often suffer emotional and physical harm that does not appear on a bill or in a paycheck. These non-economic damages can be harder to quantify, but are just as real and vital to address in a legal claim.

Pain & Suffering

Pain and suffering damages compensate for an injury’s emotional and physical toll. This may include ongoing discomfort, reduced quality of life, anxiety, depression, or difficulty participating in daily activities. We work with medical experts and gather testimony to help prove these losses.

Punitive Damages

Kentucky law allows for punitive damages in rare but serious cases. These damages are meant to punish a defendant for egregious conduct and send a message that reckless or intentional behavior will not be tolerated. We pursue these damages when supported by the facts and allowed by law.

Get the Compensation You Deserve

If you have a legitimate claim, we will immediately contact the adverse parties and insurance companies to ensure you are compensated for your injuries. We work diligently to ensure you are reimbursed for your wage losses, medical bills, and pain & suffering. We will fight to ensure those who injured you are held legally accountable.
