Louisville Personal Injury Lawyer
Life is a lot more dangerous than it looks. The American Medical Association, for example, ranks medical malpractice as the nation’s third-leading cause of death – right behind heart attacks and cancer, but ahead of accidents. Meanwhile, someone is injured in a Louisville, KY car accident about once every two hours. And these statistics don’t even include deaths and injuries due to nursing home abuse, slip and fall accidents, workplace accidents, etc.Nobody really wants to think about the unavoidable risks that we all face on a daily basis, but sometimes we have to. Inevitably, a death or a serious injury due to an accident is always tragic.

Louisville Personal Injury FAQs
Why Do I Need a Lawyer?
You should have a Louisville personal injury attorney in any personal injury case. You deserve compensation for any harm that befalls you because of another individual’s misconduct. But the fight to recover what you deserve can be complex and take a significant amount of time.
A personal injury lawyer in Louisville can help you determine if you have a valid legal claim by evaluating the strength of your case. They can review the evidence and help you understand your legal rights and options. And they can help you negotiate with insurance companies or file and maintain a lawsuit if the insurance company refuses to offer you a fair settlement.
How Much Does a Louisville Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Thinking about attorney costs can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that you do not pay them unless you win your case. And if a contingency attorney wins your case, their payment is a percentage of your settlement or trial award. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40% of what you win.
Other personal injury attorneys might handle your matter for a flat fee (which could be in the thousands) or an hourly rate (which can be an average of $200 in Kentucky). There are many Louisville personal injury attorneys who can be flexible with their fees according to their clients’ needs, so do not be afraid to schedule a consultation to talk about your case and dollars and cents.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Claim in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, you generally have one year to sue or submit a claim. And if you suffer losses because of a motor vehicle accident, you have two years to file a claim.
What Should I Look for in a Louisville Injury Attorney?
Beyond finding someone with experience and a history of legal successes, you should hire an attorney who can communicate complex legal concepts, has creative problem-solving skills, is empathetic toward your situation, and is willing to take your case to trial if needed.
Personal injury claims can change rapidly and often involve highly technical matters that give rise to significant conflicts between civil plaintiffs and defendants. This is why you need a creative attorney who knows how to simplify challenging matters.
Resolving a personal injury dispute can be incredibly distressing, so it is best to have an attorney who deals compassionately with their clients. Seth Gladstein is one of the best and most passionate Louisville personal injury lawyers in the state, and he has nearly 20 years of experience recovering substantial damages for personal injury victims.
When Should I Contact an Attorney?
You should speak to an attorney immediately after any incident that causes you losses or pain. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims passes quickly, and the difference between a victory and a loss often hinges on how soon you seek medical attention, address property damage, and gather evidence.
How Do I Know If I Have a Case?
You have a case if another’s wrongful conduct caused you financial, physical, mental, or emotional harm. Connecting the dots between your damages and another’s actions is not always easy, so you should consult an attorney regarding your rights and options.
Will I Have to Go to Trial?
Not necessarily. Some personal injury claims can be settled outside court, especially when you are organized and assertive about your rights. Having a knowledgeable attorney in your corner can give you the best chance at a satisfactory settlement of your case.
What Should I Expect During the First Consultation with a Personal Injury Lawyer?
At a consultation, expect several questions regarding how the incident occurred and the aftermath.
Before you attend your first appointment, the attorney might ask you to bring medical records, receipts, accident reports, and pictures. If you do not have all this at your disposal, don’t worry. Bring what you can regarding your claim so an attorney can help you understand your likelihood of success and the best course of action to resolve your complaint.
What If I Don’t Have Insurance; Can I Still File a Claim?
Yes, you can typically file a personal injury claim against an at-fault party even if you don’t have insurance. However, if you were injured in a car accident by someone with no-fault insurance, there may be limits on what you can claim. Additionally, if the defendant countersues and you lose your case, you don’t have the financial backing of an insurance policy to soften the blow. Hiring an attorney is vital to any civil case and especially to cases where the plaintiff does not have insurance.
millions of people across the country are injured by the careless actions of others.
For some, it’s a seemingly random, albeit avoidable, accident, such as a car crash or severe fall. For others, the injury comes as a result of a sacred breach of trust. You may have been harmed by a doctor or caretaker, you may have been in a motorcycle accident, car accident, truck accident, hurt on the job, hurt from using a defective product or from consuming unsafe food at a restaurant. If you feel betrayed, angry, or devastated, you aren’t alone. Seth Gladstein has walked down a similar road with many Louisville, KY injury victims just like you.

Testimonials
Catrice Waugh
I highly recommend the Gladstein Law firm. My son was involved in a car wreck and sustained serious injuries. Mr Gladstein and his phenomenal paralegal Barbi Johnson handled everything (car insurance claims, health insurance denials, unreasonable people) for us with professionalism and tenacity. I am elated with service they provided and the settlement that they obtained on his behalf.

I couldn’t have asked for a smoother process for such an unforeseen series of events. I reached out to their office when I needed their help and someone got back with me almost immediately. Barbi and Mr. Gladstein provided excellent legal counsel and made sure I understood every step of the process. They work diligently to get the best outcome for their clients and will not stop until you are satisfied.
