Should I File A Lawsuit?

Every year, there are around 200 car accidents in Edmonson County alone. While the majority of these accidents resulted in property damage, not all of the victims will benefit from a personal injury lawsuit. Most of the time, the settlement from the insurance company is enough to cover damages and allow victims to move on with their lives.

However, sometimes it is necessary to file a lawsuit. Depending on the severity of the accident, victims can accrue tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills and other expenses resulting from the crash. Furthermore, the insurance companies may be reluctant to pay the full amount of your damages and will use tactics to reduce the value of your claim. If the insurance provider refuses to pay a reasonable level of compensation to cover your damages, it may be in your best interest to pursue legal action.

In these cases, it is important to have our Brownsville car accident lawyers on your side. We will investigate the accident, build a strong case, and negotiate with the insurance companies to maximize your settlement. If you are still unsure whether or not to file a lawsuit, contact us today for a free case evaluation. Attorney Flora Templeton Stuart will personally review the details of your case and discuss your legal options to determine the best course of action for you.

Who can be held liable for my injuries?

One element of semi-truck collisions that make them unique is that several parties may share liability for the big rig and its cargo. Each party involved in a commercial trucking operation has a role in ensuring the vehicle is safe and operated properly to prevent an accident from occurring. Furthermore, each party involved is often their own separate entity with different insurance coverage and protective measures to limit their financial responsibility in the event of an accident. This is a major challenge for those who have been injured by a big truck, especially when many of these parties deny fault or avoid liability all together as to avoid paying compensation for your injuries. Some of the parties that can be held liable in a semi-truck accident include:

• Truck driver
• Trucking company
• Owner of the truck/trailer
• Truck manufacturer
• Leaser
• Truck loader
• Owner of the cargo
• Maintenance company

With this many parties involved, recovering adequate compensation can be tricky. Our Brownsville semi-truck accident lawyers have recovered millions in commercial truck accidents and have the expertise to maximize your recovery. Speak with our experienced team as soon as possible so we can begin work on your case and identify those responsible for your injuries.

What Damages Can I Collect After A Motorcycle Accident? 

Due to the severity of injuries commonly found in motorcycle accidents, many victims can have thousands of dollars in medical bills and other expenses. Innocent riders and passengers shouldn’t have to pay for the mistakes of another, yet many riders are stuck with out-of-pocket expenses when insurance doesn’t cover all damages. Riders who have been injured due to the negligence of another may be eligible to receive compensation for their injuries and the pain & suffering that they experienced as a result of the crash. Kentucky law permits injured motorcycle riders to pursue both economic and non-economic damages, as well as punitive damages for particularly egregious offenses.

Economic Damages, also known as compensatory damages, are the damages awarded to compensate victims for monetary losses stemming from the accident. Some common economic damages awarded in motorcycle accident claims are:

• Medical Bills
• Long-Term Medical Care
• Rehabilitation/Physical Therapy
• Prescription Medication
• Lost Wages/Loss of Earning Capacity

Non-Economic Damages, or general damages, compensates victims for the mental, emotional, and physical suffering endured as a result of the accident. These damages are more difficult to calculate due to their subjective nature, however they can account for a significant portion of your final settlement. The most common non-economic damages awarded to motorcycle accident victims include:

• Pain & Suffering
• Mental Anguish/Emotional Distress
• Loss of Consortium
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life

 No matter what type of damages you have suffered in a motorcycle accident, we will fight to obtain maximum recovery for our injured clients. We know that trauma that is felt after a motorcycle accident extends far beyond the financial
