You are facing mounting bills without a paycheck. An insurance adjuster may not have your best interests at heart, and you may feel pressure to sign a settlement before you understand the true extent of your injuries. Those fears are exactly why car crash survivors call our trusted Union car accident lawyer.
Scott Best has spent 25 years going after insurance companies from courtrooms across Boone County, and he is listed as counsel of record in Robinson v. Bates, the case that still decides how Ohio courts value medical bills after a crash.
Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer today to discuss your case. We can explain your legal options, calculate what compensation you may be owed, and walk you through every step of your claim.

A crash on Mount Zion Road looks nothing like one at the US 42 and KY 536 interchange, and how we build your case depends on how it happened. We handle a range of car accident claims coming out of Boone County, including:
Whatever road you were on when it happened, our car accident attorney in Union starts by pulling the police report, crash photos, and other crucial evidence to build a strong claim from the start.
A crash that sidelines you from work can quickly create a financial crisis, from missed mortgage payments to mounting medical debt.
While Kentucky’s no-fault system (which pays some costs regardless of who caused the crash) initially covers some medical costs and lost wages, these benefits are often insufficient and exhaust quickly. Once they run out, you risk negotiating alone against insurance companies focused on minimizing your payout.
Furthermore, Kentucky law provides a strict two-year window (KRS 304.39-230) to file a lawsuit, starting from the date of your injury or your final no-fault payment. Missing this deadline usually means you lose your right to sue for good. There are some exceptions (for example, the clock pauses if the injured person is under 18), but you shouldn’t count on an exception applying to you.

Union sits close enough to the Ohio line that plenty of crashes here involve an out-of-state driver, an Ohio-based insurer, or a policy written under Ohio law.
Scott Best has been licensed in Kentucky since 2001 and Ohio since 2002, and is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, so a case that crosses the river doesn’t have to slow down your claim.
He is also listed as counsel of record in Robinson v. Bates, the Ohio Supreme Court decision that still controls how much weight a jury can give the amount paid on your medical bills versus the amount originally billed. Adjusters who work Kentucky and Ohio claims are often familiar with that ruling.
You only pay our attorney fees if we win your case.
Not always, but you should consider having someone review the number before you sign anything. Insurance companies calculate early offers to close your file quickly and cheaply, not to cover the fair cost of your medical care, missed paychecks, and pain and suffering. Once you sign a release, you cannot go back and ask for more, even if your injury turns out worse than it looked at first.
Kentucky follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so your compensation gets reduced by whatever percentage of fault you’re assigned (KRS 411.182), even if that share is small. Insurance adjusters routinely try to push blame onto the injured driver to shrink the payout. We gather the police report, witness statements, and crash data early to keep your assigned percentage as low as the facts allow.
It happens often near Union, since a crash here can involve an Ohio driver, an Ohio-based insurer, or a policy written under Ohio law. Our attorney is licensed in both Kentucky and Ohio, so serving the other driver, coordinating with an out-of-state insurance company, and sorting out which state’s law applies doesn’t have to slow your claim down.
The timeline for settling a claim depends on the severity of your injuries and the willingness of the insurance company to provide a fair settlement. While straightforward claims often resolve relatively quickly, cases requiring litigation in the Boone County Courthouse or involving out-of-state parties generally take longer to resolve.
