What Should You Do Immediately After An Accident?
It is paramount to call for police and medical help after a personal injury. Law enforcement should arrive at the accident and create a police report – and that report can include important details used to determine fault in an accident, such as the time and place of an accident, the damages caused, the parties involved and how it may have occurred.
A medical report is another important document for an injury claim; it is key in determining possible damages and connecting the accident to your injuries. Even if you do not believe you were seriously hurt, getting a medical exam is important. You could suffer from hidden injuries that do not become apparent until hours or days after an accident.
You should also consider talking to an attorney soon after your accident. Our lawyers can help you prepare for your personal injury claim. We can also negotiate with insurance companies and represent you in court so that you recover maximum compensation.
How Is Liability Determined In A Frankfort Personal Injury Case?
Establishing fault decides who is responsible for causing an accident. Supporting evidence could be brought to a case to show that a party neglected their duty of care toward others or safety laws. Each party may be given a percentage of fault, which could affect their ability to collect compensation. Kentucky is a true comparative negligence state. This means that the percentage of compensation each party could collect may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to them.
How Is Personal Injury Compensation Determined In Kentucky?
The amount of compensation you could recover from a Kentucky personal injury case can depend on a few factors. These factors can include:
- The severity of your injuries, including whether you require hospital care, rehabilitation or surgery or whether you are suffering from a long-term disability
- The value of your tangible losses, including property damage and lost wages
- The approximate value of your intangible losses, such as your pain and suffering
Our attorneys at True Guarnieri Ayer, LLP, can help you recover maximum compensation for your personal injury by helping you assess the full value of your claim.
