I have become frustrated. Most people who are injured in automobile accidents don’t immediately think to call a lawyer. They are hurt, in pain and want to get better. They are focused on getting treated for their injuries. So they go to their doctor to find out what is wrong with them. They want to get treatment so that they will feel better.  Many times after a month or two they are still in pain. During this time they have spoken to their insurance adjuster on a regular basis. All the time thinking that they are getting advice that is for their benefit. Advice that they believe that is intended to help them. Then the hammer falls. The payments of medical bills are cut off, a low offer is made to pay for the totaled car and no offer is made to settle the pain and suffering claim.

            This is when the thought that “I need a lawyer” comes into the picture. The insurance adjuster has shown their true colors and it is obvious that they are not looking out for the injured person’s best interest. Many, many times the damage to their accident case has been done by this point in time. This is damage that will decrease the value of their case, or even worse make it impossible to prove their case and collect the fair settlement that they are entitled to. Little cracks in the case can turn into huge potholes that cannot be repaired. No matter how much attention is given to repairing them.

            I have had many people come into my office months after the date of the accident, sometimes even years. They had assumed that the insurance company would steer them in the right direction. Tragically this is often not the case.

            I am writing this The Kentucky Accident Attorney Blog so that the consumer, the accident victim, can have a chance. That they can be placed on an even playing field with the insurance industry. This is a David v. Goliath challenge. Especially considering the huge amount of money the insurance industry has at its disposal. Knowledge is power and my hope is that this blog will help arm you with the information necessary to avoid the Potholes that can destroy your Kentucky accident case. My hope is that you will put this knowledge to work for you.
