30+ Years of Experience
Handling a wide array of personal injury claims in Kentucky
Wilt Injury Lawyers focuses on helping the ill and the injured. Most of our clients have suffered catastrophic injuries – the types of injuries that take years to heal, if they ever do. The folks we help are those whose injuries may leave them unable to walk or talk, let alone work. They may require 24-hour care from a live-in nurse or at a rehabilitation facility.
We understand that these injuries are life-altering for anyone, but can be especially challenging for children, as the injury can affect their cognitive and physical development. We also understand that, in some cases, a severe injury can lead to or contribute to a victim’s death. In these instances, we can file a wrongful death claim on the family’s behalf and assist you through that process.
Talk to our Kentucky personal injury attorneys if you or your loved one have suffered injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Permanent nerve damage
- Organ damage
- Traumatic amputation/limb loss
- Burn injuries
- Loss of vision or hearing
- Compound fractures
Kentucky’s choice for car, truck, motorcycle, and vehicle accidents
There were 806 traffic fatalities in Kentucky in 2021. Most personal injury claims we handle involve accidents, including accidents involving commercial trucks. We put our experience to work for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in all manner of vehicle-related injury and fatality claims in Kentucky.
When another person or entity is responsible for your injuries, you should not be forced to shoulder that burden alone. Wilt Injury Lawyers handles claims against other drivers, trucking companies, and even government agencies when applicable.
Kentucky medical malpractice lawyers you know and trust
A 2021 poll conducted by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 70% of people trust their doctors – but only 20% trust hospital administrators. Given that hospitals are driven by profit, people may be right to worry. Poor policies can increase the risk of injury to patients.
But even trusted doctors can behave negligently or recklessly, and when they do, people can suffer lifelong injuries as a result. Wilt Injury Lawyers has obtained millions of dollars in compensation for our clients who have been harmed because of medical malpractice. Ronald M. Wilt has obtained dozens of medical malpractice verdicts in favor of clients over his 30-year career.
Whether you were harmed by dangerous drugs or devices, or at the hands of a negligent doctor, nurse, or healthcare professional, our Kentucky medical negligence attorneys can help. We have the resources and experience to handle these complex claims, including those involving lifelong conditions such as cerebral palsy.
One of the many unique benefits Wilt Injury Lawyers offers to clients is an in-depth knowledge of how insurance companies will fight against a medical malpractice claim. This is because our founder, lead attorney Ronald M. Wilt, is a former malpractice defense lawyer. He can anticipate how a medical professional’s legal team will view and assess your case. This gives you an advantage in trial and in settlement negotiations.

“Ron and his team are absolutely outstanding. Very professional and diligent in the work they do. Ron is strong in what he brings to the table because he always prepares with the best intention for his client. On top of that he educated me in areas I may have not understood. I can truly say Ron fought for me as if I was his own family and I greatly appreciated that. I was always confident knowing I had Ron and his team on my side, everyone pulled together to make sure my experience with them was top-notch and nothing less. I would recommend to anyone, Wilt Injury Lawyers. They know how to handle business, and truly care for the well-being of their clients. Ron is truly family to me now, and I can’t thank him enough.

“Ron did much more than we expected and we will forever be in his debt for what he accomplished for our son. Ron is the first attorney that I ever met in my life that I actually respected or liked, and the word “liked” does not do justice for how I feel about his performance. His interest in my son’s case was above and beyond and we realize that his personal interest and concern in seeking justice for our son dictated his actions. I will always give Ron the highest recommendation and praise.”
