At Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz, we understand that despite all that Kentucky has going for it, accidents are unfortunately a daily part of life.

For over 30 years, our law firm has been dedicated to protecting the legal rights of people injured by others.
Unfortunately, there is no shortage of ways in which someone can get hurt or suffer accidental injuries. Our law firm handles a variety of personal injury cases, including:
Kentucky, like all states, has laws in place designed to compensate injured victims when their injuries were caused by another person or corporation. Most personal injury claims involve accidents, or negligence. The legal definition of negligence entails when one party breaches a legal duty of care owed to another party. Thus, proving negligence is critical in most injury cases. All types of cases in Kentucky have a statute of limitation, the legal timeframe within which a claim must be brought. In Kentucky personal injury actions, that is typically one year from the date of the accident. Serving people throughout Kentucky, our vigilant personal injury lawyers will make sure that your case complies with applicable procedural rules.
The burden of proof will vary depending on the type of claim asserted. For example, in a car or truck accident case, you will need to show that the other driver failed to drive safely or exercise due care behind the wheel. Common forms of negligence include texting while driving, speeding, driving drunk, and failing to maintain a proper lookout. For trucking accidents, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations will apply. The legal standard for a medical malpractice, on the other hand, concerns whether a doctor or healthcare professional acted as another doctor would have, given the circumstances. Many inadequate or negligence security cases involve foreseeability, and relevant inquiries include whether the property owner was on notice of criminal activity. Our personal injury attorneys can assist Kentucky residents with their case, understanding these legal burdens and putting our knowledge to work.
What are you entitled to recover in your case? When someone gets hurt, the law in Kentucky allows him or her to recover compensation for what they have lost as a result of the defendant’s wrongdoing. In the personal injury realm, these are referred to as compensatory damages, since they are designed to make the victim whole, as if the injury never occurred in the first place. Of course, most victims wish they could turn back time, but that is not possible. Instead, juries can award monetary damages.
If you are injured in an accident or as a result of malpractice, you could be able to recover for medical bills, lost wages, and out of pocket expenses caused by the accident. If your injuries are permanent or long-lasting, you could recover the cost of future medical bills or time off work. Other forms of recovery include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.
