After suffering an injury, you learn quickly that every penny counts.

Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?

An experienced attorney from Katz Law can walk you through the entire process of filing a personal injury claim, and unlike insurance companies, we are your advocates. Insurance companies are usually looking out for their own best interest, not yours. Our firm is here to fight for your rights. Additionally, many people find that their injuries are worse days or weeks after they sustained them. If you accept an insurance settlement before you know how serious your injuries actually are, you may find your settlement no longer covers all your medical expenses. An attorney from our firm can fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you!

Damages You Can Recover in Personal Injury Cases

When filing a personal injury case, there are three main types of damages an injury victim can pursue, economic damages, non-economic damages and punitive damages. Economic damages, as the name suggests, seek to compensate the injured party for their financial losses associated with their injury such as medical expenses or missed workdays. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, compensates for non-financial suffering such as pain and suffering, or mental anguish. The only type of damages that seeks to do anything other than compensate the injury victim is punitive damages. Instead the purpose of these damages is to punish the negligent party, as such they are not often awarded.

  • Work Accidents

    We represent people hurt while working on the river or in river-related employment. We also serve victims of construction accidents, including welders, insulators, boat repair and maintenance workers, and others whose construction work pertains to the area’s robust river industry. It is important for injured river workers, injured construction workers, and other injured workers to realize that they may not have traditional workers’ compensation claims and that they should work with an attorney who is knowledgeable about their industry and the laws that apply. In some instances, other remedies may be available that provide better benefits than traditional workers’ compensation.

  • Premises Liability

    Property owners, including owners of businesses like shopping malls, retail stores, grocery stores, gas stations, and hotels, have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail in that duty and a visitor suffers harm, either in a slip and fall type of accident or as a result of failing to provide adequate security, we step in to help the victim get the necessary compensation.

How We Can Help

You need a seasoned personal injury lawyer to get you the appropriate compensation after an accident. Our team has resources that you need to thoroughly investigate the scene of your accident and collect evidence we can use to support your claim, from crash reports to witness statements.

Additionally, personal injury cases have statutes of limitations, which impose strict deadlines on how long you have to file a lawsuit. Different type of claims have different statutes of limitations, and statutes of limitations also vary by state. This means if you file a claim after the statute of limitations has passed, you will most likely be unable to hold negligent parties responsible and recover damages.

In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for injury cases depends upon the source of the injury. Injury claims arising from an auto accident have a two year statute of limitations, whereas personal injuries arising from other causes generally must be filed within one (1) year. Our attorneys are able to work swiftly to file the necessary paperwork and build your case before this deadline passes.

Injuries are also expensive to treat, especially if they’re more serious. Our team has recovered millions of dollars for clients and can help you pay for expenses you’ve accrued, including medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Call our Paducah personal injury team for dedicated counsel at (270) 778-0020. We’ve handled thousands of cases over the last couple decades and can use our experience to help you.
