Personal Injury Damages

Our Morgantown KY personal injury attorneys fight for our injured clients to demand and collect the maximum amount we can. Full compensation could mean an award for each of your categories of damages relating to your personal injury claim. Although each claim is unique, state laws in Kentucky allow all personal injury victims to seek the same main categories of compensation.

• Medical expenses: You could be eligible to receive an award for all past and future medical expenses related to your claim. This could include the costs of any surgeries, rehabilitation, hospital stays, treatments, medical devices, and medications.
• Pain and suffering: A noneconomic damage award could make up for intangible losses such as physical pain, mental distress, emotional anguish, post-traumatic stress, lost quality of life or the lost enjoyment of a loved one’s company.
• Lost wages: If you had to miss work without pay because of your claim, the defendant could owe you a compensation award for your lost income and missed earning opportunities. You could also recover an amount for lost future earning capacity if you suffered a permanent disability.
• Punitive damages: Some cases, involving a defendant’s gross negligence or malicious intent to harm, could receive punitive damages on top of compensatory damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish a defendant for their wrongful behavior.
• Property damages: If you were involved in an automobile collision, you could receive a compensation award in the amount of the pre-accident value of the car. You could also recover costs for vehicle repairs in minor accidents.
• PIP benefits: Kentucky law requires vehicles to be insured with PIP coverage. As a driver or passenger of a vehicle, these benefits are there for you, regardless of fault, for medical bills, lost wages and household services. In some instances, these benefits can be paid out to you directly.

Semi Truck Accidents

Trucks of all sizes drive the roads and highways of Butler County on a daily basis. As the number of larger commercial trucks and semi-trucks on the road increases, so does the risk for more severe injury accidents.

Compared with collisions involving smaller passenger vehicles, semi-truck accidents tend to result in more catastrophic injuries and fatalities, as they can often weigh in excess of 60,000 pounds. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident involving a semi-truck, it’s time to contact an experienced Morgantown truck accident lawyer.

At our firm, we know these cases and understand the issues of causation, multiple parties and more.

Retaining a Butler County semi-truck attorney from the start can ensure that no stone is left unturned.

Wrongful Death

Losing a family member is one of the most traumatic experiences that you will ever face. The pain is compounded further if their death resulted from someone else’s negligence. In addition to your emotional loss, your family may be facing bills, burial costs, a sudden loss of income, and more. This is when you need to contact an experienced wrongful death lawyer in Butler County Kentucky.

Common types of wrongful death case can include; car accidents, semi-truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and slip and fall accidents.

In most instances, getting to the scene of the incident immediately is vital in establishing a wrongful death claim.  At Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers, our team of investigators promptly get on the scene to take photographs, get witness statements, and examine the vehicles and more. If your loved one has died as a result of another’s careless conduct contact us today.

Motorcycle Accidents

Butler County motorcycle riders are at risk due to the rural roads and highways in the area. Motorcyclists lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, and are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in a crash. We have represented riders through the decades that have sustained a wide range of injuries, including broken bones, head injury, and even death.

Contrary to popular belief, most motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the biker in a majority of cases. The biker, however, is the one who suffers the brunt of the injuries due to the fault of automobile drivers. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, our law firm is here for you.

Pedestrian accidents

Motorists have a responsibility to obey traffic laws and drive safely—especially when approaching crosswalks or in high foot-traffic areas. When drivers in Butler County fail to meet those obligations, pedestrians are put in jeopardy.

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most serious cases we handle—frequently resulting in catastrophic injuries, spine and brain injuries, or even death. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a pedestrian accident, get medical treatment immediately.

If possible, get the names of witnesses and photos of the car and scene. Call an experienced Morgantown KY pedestrian accident lawyer to investigate and negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf so you can focus on what is most important – recovering from your injuries.

Many Kentucky injury accidents happen due to drivers failing to see pedestrians on the road. The driver errors that commonly cause collisions include:

• Failing to yield the right-of-way
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Lack of visibility, such as at night
• Disobeying traffic signs or signals

While all of these driving behaviors contribute to thousands of accidents each year, speeding remains one of the most commonly cited accident causes in Butler County. In fact, Butler County had the highest rate of accidents involving speeding in the entire state according to the Kentucky Transportation Center.

If you or a loved one was injured by a negligent driver, contact our Morgantown pedestrian accident lawyers today for a free case evaluation.
