Stages of Recovery in Car Accident Claims

Obtaining needed compensation after a Kentucky car crash isn’t a quick process. At Wilt Injury Lawyers, we know how difficult it is for families to cope financially when unexpected accidents injure their loved ones. Our dedicated Kentucky car accident attorneys work to secure the best outcome for our clients.

Initial Consultation

The first step in the motor vehicle accident process is to call our office for a free consultation. During this consultation, we will gather all the necessary information about your case, explain the legal process to you, and answer any questions you may have. This consultation is critical in determining the strength of your case and developing a solid strategy moving forward.

Investigation, Documentation, and Continuing Your Medical Treatment

After the initial consultation, we will begin the investigation process. This involves gathering evidence regarding your accident, such as witness statements, police reports, and available surveillance footage. We organize all necessary documentation and communicate to your insurer that we represent you in your claim.

It is essential to continue your medical treatment, whether physical therapy, seeing a chiropractor, or any other treatment plan. Once your treatment is over, we will obtain your medical records from your providers to support your claim.

Insurance Demands and Settlements

In Kentucky, your no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers the initial $10,000 of medical and qualified out-of-pocket expenses for motor vehicle accident-related injuries. Once we have gathered the necessary documentation, we will file a PIP claim with your insurance company. PIP coverage is designed to help with your initial costs.

We will pursue a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company to compensate you for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and strive to reach a fair settlement.

Settlement or Verdict Distribution

Once we have negotiated a fair settlement, we will carefully review its terms and help you understand the amount you will receive. Our team can help ensure the settlement is distributed properly and promptly.

Litigation (If Necessary)

In some cases, litigation may be recommended to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, we can file a lawsuit and advocate for your right to recovery in court. We will handle all the legal procedures, including discovery, depositions, and trial preparation, to build a strong case on your behalf.
