Injury Attorney Bowling Green

Accidents can happen in a second and leave you stressed, confused, and anxious about what your future holds. When a slip and fall, car crash, or construction accident is the result of another person’s negligence or carelessness, you will likely feel even angrier and more frustrated. You may sustain multiple serious injuries during an accident, and they will not only be painful, but the cost of treating them will also be very high. If you have to miss work due to your injuries, you may not know how you are going to pay your medical bills or your other expenses.

If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you could file a claim against them for financial compensation, legally known as damages. Our injury attorney in Bowling Green can ensure your rights are upheld, so you obtain the full and fair settlement to which you are entitled.

Personal Injury Practice Areas

Accidents happen in many ways in Bowling Green. The laws that govern a civil claim afterward will depend on the type of accident. For example, the laws that govern a car accident will differ from those that involve an accident caused by a defective product. Our seasoned attorneys have extensive experience in many different personal injury practice areas, including the following: 

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Boating accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Construction accidents
• Premises liability accidents, including slip and falls
• Dog bites
• Defective products
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Wrongful death

Although the different types of accidents do have unique laws that apply to them, they all have one thing in common. They are usually caused by the negligence of another person, such as another driver, a manufacturer, or a property owner.

How Can an Injury Attorney in Bowling Green Help With Your Case?

Multiple studies have shown that people who work with a lawyer when filing a personal injury claim are more likely to receive more compensation than when filing alone. When filing your claim, a lawyer will help you avoid the small but common mistakes that could result in a forfeiture of the full damages you deserve.

One of the biggest challenges in personal injury claims is determining liability. After identifying the liable party, you must file a claim with their insurance company, but the damages you receive will not exceed the limits of the insurance policy. A lawyer can help you determine all the liable parties in your case so you obtain the total compensation you need.

A lawyer will also accurately value your claim, which is particularly important in Bowling Green. State law places a cap of $250,000, or three times the amount of economic damages up to $350,000 per person or $500,000 per occurrence, on non-economic damages in most cases not involving medical negligence, which has even stricter caps on non-economic damages. A lawyer will accurately identify all financial losses, so you claim the full amount of non-economic damages you deserve.
