Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kentucky?
The statute of limitations in Kentucky for a personal injury case is shorter than in most other states. In most cases, it is just one year from the date of the injury. In car accident cases, however, it is two years from the date of the accident.
Even though you have this amount of time, it is better to get started right away. If you wait too long, evidence may disappear, witnesses may forget important details and your own memory may fade. Additionally, you will be paying medical bills out of your pocket, which can be very expensive, even with insurance. You may also be unable to work, either due to your injuries or because you have to take care of an injured family member. How will you make up for your lost wages?
Our experienced personal injury lawyer will help you seek the damages you need after an injury or accident.
What types of compensation can I receive in a personal injury case?
The compensation you recover is specific to the circumstances of your case but may include:
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Past, current and future medical bills related to the accident
- Long-term care
- Lost wages and benefits
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- The loss of a loved one
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Modifications to your home and vehicles if you are disabled
These are the most common types of compensation, but there may be others depending on the details of your injury.
How are medical bills handled during a personal injury case?
Medical bills will begin to stack up quickly after an injury. If you are represented by an attorney in a personal injury case, they can negotiate with your insurance company, and/or doctors and hospitals to wait until you receive a settlement or jury award to get paid for their services. This is called a medical lien.
While it may work in your favor, remember that sometimes a personal injury case does not go the plaintiff’s way. If this happens, there will be no settlement or jury award, which means you have to pay the medical bills on your own. It is best to discuss this with an experienced lawyer who can weigh the risks and benefits of a medical lien.
What factors affect the timeline of a personal injury case?
“How long will my case take?” is a very common question in personal injury matters. Each case is different, but in general, some of the things that affect the timeline of a case include:
- When you filed the case
- How complex the accident and injuries are
- How many third parties are involved
- Whether there is subrogation between insurance companies and/or the negligent party
- Whether the insurance company is willing to negotiate and how long any settlement negotiations take
- Stall tactics by the insurance company
- Whether the case goes to trial instead of settling out of court.
These factors can all influence the timeline of your case.
While there is no guarantee that your attorney can predict the amount of time your case will take, an experienced attorney can estimate the timeline. After handling hundreds or thousands of cases, they know which insurance companies tend to deny, delay and undervalue claims the most. They know the insurance defense lawyers and their tactics. They know who is prepared for trial and who is more likely to settle.
Additionally, they have likely worked on cases similar to yours and know generally how long these cases take.
