How to choose a lawyer in Louisville

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, since insurers weigh whether a lawyer will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. 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 in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Louisville

After an accident in Louisville, get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information with the other parties and any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Then act promptly: Kentucky has a filing deadline of 1 year from the date of injury, and 2 years for motor vehicle accidents. Waiting can cost you the right to recover.
