Ever feel like you're on an assembly line with hundreds of other cases? Does it seem like they're just checking boxes, rather than actually listening to you and answering your questions? That can be extremely frustrating, especially when you realize they're working for you (not the other way around).

At the Desmond Law Office, you'll get personalized service, because you'll work directly with me. I don't hand you off to a case manager or assistant. I handle your car wreck claim, every step of the way. This is a commitment I refer to as the Desmond Difference. Want to learn more? Watch this TV interview I did with Wave Listens Live. I'll explain how the Desmond Difference impacts your case. Click here to watch: https://youtu.be/kJbWKfUstTk?si=G0jM05PhI020WOAA.

When you decide to hire an attorney, you'll sign a contract with him/her. These can seem fairly complicated, but they're not. In this video, I'll explain what's in my attorney contract and what to look for. Click here to watch this brief video: https://youtu.be/xXw4Mz5syHE?si=FOwcs2QC0oZasyhj.

Not every attorney focuses on car wrecks and motorcycle accidents. These cases are actually very complex due to the insurance issues, medical issues and other important factors. If you need to hire an attorney, be sure they know what they're doing. Can you trust the answers you're getting? I'll address this issue in a TV interview I did with Wave Listens Live. Click here to watch: https://youtu.be/FzVDqBwcmE4?si=JUIAhRLh6QHVEVSt.

Finally, people get worried about medical bills related to automobile accidents. If the collision wasn't you fault, how are your bills going to get paid? Many people don't realize they're already covered by Kentucky's no-fault insurance law. You and each of your passengers typically have $10,000 of automatic coverage to help you get medical treatment and to cover some of your lost wages if you have to miss work due to doctor's orders. I'll explain Kentucky's no-fault insurance in this PODCAST EPISODE. Click here to listen: https://youtu.be/a0M2MfmirC8?si=-alKJH7RTyUVaGo5. ...

Anyone who has been in a car wreck knows how complicated things can get. What do you do? How do you get a copy of the police report? Should you go see a doctor? Who's going to pay for that medical treatment? How do I get a rental car? The last thing you want is to be forced to wait on hold to speak with someone who probably isn't an actual attorney.

You need answers. You need to call me on my cell phone. I have over 25 years of experience handling car wrecks in Kentucky and Indiana. Why depend on someone who isn't a lawyer to give you legal advice? Call and speak to me, directly.

For now, let me help to answer some of those questions I mentioned, above.

HOW DO I GET A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT?
Watch this brief video. I'll explain the simple process and how this information can help your case. Click here: https://youtu.be/i-miR5LTVwI?si=0A4A3FBIIdrjF7Df.

SHOULD I GO SEE A DOCTOR?
I recorded this podcast episode about why you should see a doctor after a car wreck. There's some very helpful information for anyone who is trying to decide whether to seek medical treatment. Click here to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsKZlZYQFsc&t=209s.

WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR MY MEDICAL TREATMENT?
Depending on the severity of your injuries, the medical expenses can be significant. However, regardless of who was at-fault for the accident, most drivers in Kentucky are automatically covered for $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages. This is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. It can help you to pay for your medical treatment. Listen to this podcast episode for more information: https://youtu.be/a0M2MfmirC8?si=OV5JV6kn980BiXQq.

HOW DO I GET A RENTAL CAR AFTER MY WRECK?
Without the use of a car, you might not be able to get to work or take your child to school. There's usually a way to get the at-fault driver's insurance to pay for a rental car, for a while, at least. Watch this brief video to learn more: https://youtu.be/JF30m37DBt0?si=MJg3lB_BlxOyv4ii. ...

Believe it or not, there is a secret sauce to resolving your injury claim after a car wreck or motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, many people assume it's something else. I've limited my practice to motor vehicle accident cases. After over 25 years, I've learned a few things. If you'd like to learn what the secret sauce to handling your injury claim is, click this link to watch a brief video: https://youtu.be/9ADeAciwrzs?si=IOnXTls3ECKu3OJV.

Reaching a successful resolution for your car wreck case involves your attorney working hard to determine any and all possible insurance that could be used to pay for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc. It's not always easy. It can get complicated when the at-fault driver who hit you didn't have insurance or had a small policy that doesn't cover your damages. What do you do then? As a skilled automobile accident attorney, I'll put together a strategy to maximize any available coverage, including uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage, if they apply. To learn more about those 2 options, listen to my PODCAST EPISODE: https://youtu.be/t2sxYI9nVI8?si=mm2gm6P55HngF4K6.

The Right Way to Choose an Attorney

Choosing an attorney to handle your car wreck claim is a big decision. Should you make that based on a TV commercial, or would you like to know what other people think before you decide?

As a Louisville car wreck attorney, I've handled these cases for over 25 years. I limit my practice to motor vehicle accidents, including motorcycle wrecks. I don't want to be all things to all people, because the law is too complicated for that. I'm can handle accident cases throughout Kentucky and also in Indiana.

I've built a reputation for excellent communication with my clients, skill in negotiating against the insurance companies and handling the cases personally. Why get lost in a huge law firm's case manager group. Is bigger really better? You decide.

Check out my Google reviews and see what other people think. That's a right way to choose an attorney.

As an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, one of the most shocking facts injured motorcyclists find out is that they probably are not covered by PIP or no-fault insurance in Kentucky.
