Car Accidents

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Kentucky, you probably have a lot of questions about how you will be compensated for medical bills, lost wages, physical pain and emotional anguish, and damage to your vehicle. If you are seriously injured, will you be fairly compensated? Are you entitled to compensation for pain and suffering? What if your injuries lead to permanent or partial disability? Can you trust the insurance company of the at-fault driver to look out for your best interests?

Free Auto Accident Consultation

The car accident lawyers at Sampson & Slechter, PLLC have handled hundreds, if not thousands of cases for victims of automobile collisions. We know the system, and we offer a free initial consultation to explain the process and advise you of your rights.

Kentucky is a no-fault state, which means that your first $10,000 in medical bills and lost wage reimbursement will be paid by your insurance company, regardless of who caused the accident—hence the term “no-fault.” Receiving compensation from your insurance company after an accident requires a lot of paperwork. It can also cause a lot of worry for the injured person and his or her family. If you hire us to represent you, we will take care of all of the paperwork necessary to get your medical bills paid and your lost wages reimbursed. We will negotiate with the insurance company to get you paid for the damage to your vehicle at no extra charge. Our fee will be a percentage of the compensation you receive for your bodily injury claim. Nothing will come out of your pocket. If we don’t win or settle your case, you owe us nothing. We also represent family members in cases of wrongful death.

The sooner you call us following an accident, the better. We will immediately begin investigating the accident to determine liability before evidence is lost and before witnesses’ memories fade.

Even if you don’t hire our firm, we recommend you hire an attorney who specializes in auto accident cases to represent your interests in negotiations with the insurance company of the at-fault driver. Don’t assume that an insurance company will treat you fairly. Insurance companies are concerned with profits – and that means they will pay you the least amount of money they possibly can. Their duty is to their shareholders, not to injured people.
