The steps you take right after a fall matter more than most people realize. If you are able, do these things before you leave the scene:
The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can evaluate your claim while the evidence is still fresh.
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. There is no financial risk to getting started.
Kentucky sets a one-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. That deadline starts on the date of your fall, and missing it means losing the right to pursue your case entirely.
Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault system. Even if you share some responsibility for the accident, you can still recover compensation. Your total award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are never completely barred from filing. If a jury finds you 30% at fault on a $100,000 claim, you would still recover $70,000.
You may be able to recover payment for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing treatment costs. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries and the facts of your case. We can give you a realistic picture of what your claim may be worth once we review the details.
Most personal injury cases in Burlington are filed at the Boone County Justice Center at 6025 Rogers Lane in Burlington. Whether your case goes to Boone County District Court or Boone County Circuit Court depends on the amount in dispute. We handle cases in both courts and can walk you through what to expect at each stage.
You need to show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Evidence like maintenance logs, surveillance footage, and witness statements can help establish this. We investigate these records as part of building your case.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once the full extent of injuries is known. Others take longer if the property owner or their insurer disputes liability. We can give you a realistic timeline once we understand the facts of your situation.
