How to choose a lawyer in Corbin

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how a case is built. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, and whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing and confirm there is no fee unless you win. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Corbin

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, exchange and gather information from everyone involved, and avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Then act promptly: Kentucky has a filing deadline of 1 year from the date of injury, or 2 years for motor vehicle accidents. Missing it can end your claim, so talk with a local attorney soon after the accident.

Kentucky injury law, in brief

Kentucky gives you 1 year from the date of injury to file a claim, or 2 years for motor vehicle accidents. The state follows a pure comparative negligence fault rule, which can reduce your recovery by your share of fault. See the Kentucky page for full details.
