Personal injury occurs when a person is injured as a result of the negligence, carelessness or wrongful conduct of another person. Each year thousands of people are injured in different accidents. To have a personal injury claim the accident must be caused by the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person.

A great variety of incidents can give rise to personal injury claims such as motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, or any other accident or injury caused by the fault of someone else.

In personal injury cases, we must prove the other person was negligent to collect damages for injuries you have sustained. In Barren County and Kentucky everyone is required to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. Negligence is when an individual fails to act like a reasonably prudent person and causes someone else harm such as in a car accident when the other person runs the red light and causes the collision.
To prove negligence, we establish four elements:
When our team of attorneys are called by someone who is seriously injured in an accident which often includes car or semi-truck collision, we immediately work to establish liability, or fault of the other person to show that they violated the duty of care. This can include hiring experts such as detectives who obtain recorded statements from witnesses and accident reconstructionist to establish the fault of the other party. Having a law firm close by to document the evidence is crucial as time is of the essence following an accident.
