Louisville Accident And Injury Blog

I wanted to give you a tip generally about all areas of the law.  All areas of the law focus on what you can prove!  Unless we are dealing with expert testimony (e.g. doctors, accident reconstructionist, etc.), the law really is not concerned about theories or opinions.  As a result, documentation, in all areas of the law, […]

I thought I would share with you some interesting points that I learned when I spoke to my own automobile insurance company about adding an elderly driver. In short, my father is going to be staying with me for a while.  So the question was whether he should keep his own car insurance or rather, […]

In regard to  personal injury settlements, most personal injury settlements are inclusive of the medical bills or medical liens.  So, if you are trying to resolve a claim from an automobile wreck without an attorney, you have to realize that any personal injury settlement includes all of your medical bills. However, for Kentucky car wrecks, one of […]

In twenty years of practicing law, there have only been two times wherein I have viewed photographs from a car wreck that have truly grossed me out.  The second time was this week and was from a client whose open wound took about 9 months to heal.  While the at-fault driver only had the state […]

I just got out of a deposition this morning and the client did pretty well. However, defense counsel pulled out and questioned her about 9 posts from Facebook that had nothing to do with her injuries or the lawsuit. Basically, there were a lot of inferences based upon events or statements that someone would not […]

I am handling a case that I will blog more about later.  However, for the moment, let me tell you that my client was hit by a car while he was walking in a crosswalk and there appears to be limited insurance coverage on the at-fault driver. My client has been hospitalized at the University […]

I signed up a client recently that was hit by a car while riding a motor scooter. After we met and I began to represent him as his lawyer, he solicited a personal injury settlement from the insurance carrier for the at-fault driver. He did not inform me of this and it escapes me as […]

I am going to make this blog short as I have preached about this subject a 100 times over. However, I still believe that this is one of the most important issues facing any personal injury claim stemming from a car wreck or a motorcycle accident. In short, I settled a personal injury claim this […]

Hmm? Good question.   Nine of ten times I have to tell a client “No!”  Today, to my own surprise, I had to suggest to a client that she accept an early settlement of her personal injury claim. I represented this lady for another car wreck about six months back and she was just involved in […]

I had a phone call the other day in regard to a motorcycle wreck that happened in Corydon, Indiana.  While I had about a thirty-minute phone call with the injured motorcyclist, I have not signed him up as a client yet. Nevertheless, I wanted to share with you some of the issues that are immediately […]

Two days in a row, State Farm’s phone system says “We are experiencing extremely high call volume, please call back another day.” Really? If these companies are going to spend all this money on advertising to get you to insure with them, they can at least make sure they have the proper means of addressing […]

I signed up a mother injured in a car wreck in Louisville, Kentucky last week.  The problem is that the mother was driving a car owned by her daughter.  Consequently, even though the driver/client was not at fault in causing the car wreck, I have to use the daughter’s automobile insurance to pay my client’s […]
