Do I Have to Let them Total My Car?
After a car wreck, the insurance company may tell you that your car is totaled. As an experienced, Louisville car wreck attorney, I can't tell you how many times I've been asked, "Do I have to let them total my car?" I'll explain your options in this brief video.
If your car is totaled, you'll typically receive the fair market value for it. This is different from the "replacement cost." Fair market value is what the vehicle was worth immediately before the collision. Unfortunately, if you owe more than the fair market value of the car, you may have to make up the difference. It's not always fair, but it's how our system currently works.

Pre-Litigation verses Litigation - What's in Your Best Interest?
If you've been in a car wreck, you may think you want to file a lawsuit. As an experienced Louisville car wreck attorney, I know most accidents claims get settled and don't actually go to court as part of a lawsuit. There are reasons for this. I'll explain the difference between pre-litigation and litigation. It may not be worth the risk, your time and the additional expense of taking the car wreck to court. We may be able to reach an acceptable settlement, instead.
Each situation is different and this determination should be made with your attorney. Watch this brief video to learn more.
