How to choose a lawyer in Richmond

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how a case is built. Look for a real trial track record, not just settlement talk, because insurers weigh whether a lawyer will go to court. Ask about knowledge of local courts and local insurers, and get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Find out 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 Richmond

After an accident in Richmond, protect your health and your claim. Get medical care 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 from everyone involved. 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 right to recover, so talk with a local attorney early.
