Union’s population jumped nearly 40% between 2010 and 2020, making it Boone County’s second-largest city, and major projects like the Union Promenade, the Grammas Center, and Union Town Square are adding hundreds of new homes and businesses along US 42 and KY 536.
Our personal injury attorney in Union handles:
If your injury does not fit neatly into one of these categories, we may still be able to help. Contact us today for a free consultation.
In most cases, Kentucky gives you just one year from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under KRS 413.140. Wait too long, and the court will almost certainly dismiss your case, no matter how strong it is on the facts. If your injury happened in a car accident, you get a little more room under a separate rule. But, that deadline still arrives faster than most people expect, and it is easy to lose track of while you are focused on recovering.
Even if you are partially at fault, Kentucky law allows you to recover damages, though your payout will be reduced. Adjusters often use this to minimize your claim, which is exactly why you need someone pushing back on your behalf.
While you are healing, the company on the other end is already building a file, and its goal is a number that protects their bottom line, not your recovery. Every week you wait to bring us in is a week they control the story on their own terms.

A lot of Union’s growth runs straight up US 42 and I-71/75 toward Cincinnati. That means plenty of injury claims involve an Ohio driver, an Ohio-based store or property owner, or an insurance policy written in Ohio instead of Kentucky. That may make a Kentucky accident victim hire a second lawyer just to deal with the Ohio side of the claim.
Scott Best has been licensed to practice in both Kentucky and Ohio since the early 2000s, so your case does not stall out or get handed off the moment it touches an Ohio policy, an Ohio property owner, or an Ohio court. We have handled cases where the medical records, the lost wages, and the property or vehicle damage all lived in two different states before the claim ever reached a settlement table.
Scott Best was counsel of record in Robinson v. Bates, a landmark Ohio Supreme Court decision that changed how Ohio courts value medical bills in injury claims, and that case is still cited in Ohio courtrooms today.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, so you pay no fee unless we win your case, and the initial consultation costs you nothing either.
An early offer does not mean it is a fair one. Adjusters are trained to close files quickly and cheaply, and once you accept, you cannot go back and ask for more later, even if your injury turns out to be worse than it first looked.
Missed paychecks, medical bills that keep arriving, and a settlement number written by the insurance company instead of by what happened to you. Waiting rarely works in your favor, and evidence like skid marks and witness memories fades fast.
You will talk directly with us about what happened, what you have already paid out of pocket, and whether the other side is trying to minimize your claim. From there, we build your case and tell you plainly where it stands at each phase, no runaround.
Yes. We offer free consultations day or night, and we travel to you if you are still recovering and cannot make it to our office.
