Overcoming Auto Insurance Roadblocks

Kentucky is a no-fault auto insurance state, meaning you will likely need to file a claim with your own insurance company, regardless of who caused the wreck. Your initial compensation will come through the “personal injury protection” (PIP) coverage of your own policy, unless you opt out of that coverage.

However, fault is still a crucial factor if your damages exceed a certain threshold or you’ve suffered serious injuries. If that’s the case, you may need to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.

Insurance companies can be tough to deal with. They ultimately aren’t on your side. Liddell is. He can ensure that you don’t get shortchanged or taken advantage of. He will stand up for you and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

What You Can Recover In A Car Crash Case

When you are involved in a car wreck, the types of compensation, or damages, you can pursue include:

• Economic damages: These cover quantifiable losses such as medical expenses, lost wages and property damage. They ease the financial burdens caused by the crash. Your insurance may cover medical bills, lost wages and other expenses up to certain limits. Beyond that, you may need to pursue a lawsuit.
• Noneconomic damages: These address more subjective losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life. They compensate for the nonfinancial impact of your injuries.
• Punitive damages: While less common, punitive damages may be appropriate in cases of extreme negligence, such as drunk driving collisions. They are an additional monetary award for the injury victim, intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from engaging in wrongdoing.

Liddell can help you quantify these damages and present compelling evidence to support them.

The Process For Securing Car Wreck Injury Compensation

The process for getting compensation after a car crash involves several steps:

• Documenting the crash and your injuries
• Filing a claim with your insurance company
• Investigating the crash and gathering evidence
• Negotiating with insurance adjusters
• Filing a lawsuit against the negligent party, if necessary
• Engaging in settlement negotiations
• Going to trial, if needed

You can count on Liddell to handle every step. He will lift your legal burdens and give you peace of mind so you can focus on recovering.

Proving Fault In Auto Wreck Cases

In car wreck lawsuits, proving fault (negligence) is the key to a successful outcome. Kentucky allows people to sue for compensation even if they are partly at fault. However, the amount of that compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault, which is why it’s important to present powerful evidence regarding fault.

Liddell will dig deep to find that evidence and present the most effective arguments for your case. Often, he can achieve favorable settlements outside of court. He is also a tough litigator and can fight for you in court if needed.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late To File A Claim

Kentucky law sets a deadline – called a statute of limitations – for filing a lawsuit in personal injury cases. Generally, you only have two years from the date of the crash or the last personal injury payout.

It takes time to build a strong case, and the longer you wait, the harder it may be to investigate and collect essential evidence.
