Louisville Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injuries, of course, encompass physical damages, such as those originating from a slip and fall, automobile accident, or medical negligence. However, these types of injuries may also include financial harm, such as deception, damage to property, or an incident that led to expensive medical expenses and lost income due to absence from work.

Overall, some of the types of cases personal injury attorneys in Louisville work on include:

In Kentucky, proving negligence is vital to each case. Without being able to do so, you won’t be able to receive compensation for your injuries. Fortunately, we have experience in personal injury cases and know precisely what to do to prove negligence.

Here are the four elements of a personal injury case that we will prove:

1. A duty of care was owed to you: Simply put, you are owed a basic duty of care in any scenario. For instance, if you go to a hospital, you’re owed the care to be looked after by the medical staff. Or, if you are eating a nice meal at a restaurant, the restaurant is responsible for keeping you safe from harm. You are also owed a duty of care by every driver on the road who should be driving responsibly and following the traffic laws.
2. A breach of duty has occurred: If we can target the basic level of care owed to you in a given situation, we can determine if it has been breached. In other words, if those in charge of your reasonable care have failed to keep you safe and prevent injuries, they have breached this duty.
3. Injuries were caused: Causation must be proved in this element. That means that due to someone else’s negligence, injuries were caused.
4. You’ve experienced loss from these injuries: Finally, our legal team will look at your injuries and losses to create a direct link between them and another party’s negligence. If this can be done, we’ll calculate your losses due to these injuries.

This is the template we follow in all personal injury cases to help you get the compensation you’re due.
