Why Hire a Personal Injury Accident Lawyer?
While you’re recovering from an injury and trying to figure out how to pay your mounting medical bills, hiring an attorney might be the last thing on your mind. However, it can be extremely beneficial to contact an attorney immediately after sustaining an injury.
The reason is that your attorney can help guide you step-by-step through the legal process. Instead of trying to navigate everything on your own, you’ll have someone with experience by your side, making sure that everything is filed on time and you can put your best arguments forward during settlement negotiations or a lawsuit.
An accident lawyer can help with the following:
- Evaluate the strength of your case and assign a monetary value
- Collect and preserve evidence to support your case
- Prove liability and identify potentially liable parties
- Negotiate with insurance companies
- Strategize and advise on each legal step
- File all necessary paperwork accurately and on time
- Ensure compliance with legal rules
- Represent you in court if the case goes to trial
Many accident victims are initially hesitant to hire an attorney because they are worried about the cost. At RP Legal Group, we offer free consultations, and you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Further, studies show that you have a better chance of receiving higher compensation when you work with an attorney. According to the Insurance Research Council, people who hired a personal injury attorney received approximately 3.5x more money than those who attempted to settle the claim without legal assistance.

Available Compensation for a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Generally speaking, you are legally entitled to recover 100% compensation for any injury or loss you suffer as a result of the incident – both in the short and long term. The types of compensation you can seek and how much you may get varies widely.
During your initial consultation with RP Legal Group, we will discuss the details of your case and begin piecing together a plan that includes a rough estimation of the value of your claim.
Depending on the circumstances, the following types of compensation may be available:
- Lost wages: This includes your hourly or salaried pay as well as any bonuses or fringe benefits that are part of your compensation.
- Future lost earnings: If your ability to earn a living in your current profession is impacted, you may be able to recover the difference.
- Medical bills: During your physical recovery, any bills you incur associated with treatment may be reimbursed. This includes doctor’s visits, prescription medication, surgeries, etc.
- Ongoing medical treatment: If it is determined that you will need long-term care, these expenses may be covered as well.
- Pain and suffering: The physical pain you experience during your recovery may also be compensable.
- Emotional distress: In addition to physical pain, you may also experience emotional effects from the incident, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, or other mental conditions.
- Loss of consortium: It’s not uncommon for relationships to be affected by a personal injury incident. Compensation for this type of loss may also be compensated.
Other damages could also be potentially available. An attorney can explore all of the options with you.

FAQs
Do I have to file a lawsuit within a certain amount of time after an injury accident?
Kentucky law imposes a limit on how long someone has to file a lawsuit after any type of personal injury. This is referred to as the statute of limitations. Many states have relatively long timelines, but Kentucky’s deadlines are comparatively shorter. Often, the deadline is one year from the date of the accident, though some cases allow for two years.
How much money can I recover for a car accident lawsuit?
Because no two cases are exactly the same, it is impossible to assign a universal figure about how much money you can recover. The recovery can range from a few thousand dollars into the millions.
How long will it take to settle my case?
The length of time you can expect to settle your case will vary. Some of the significant factors that influence the length of time include the complexity of your case and whether there is a dispute about who was at fault or how to apportion the blame.
Often, a personal injury case can be settled within a few months. However, if settlement talks fail and the case goes to trial, this timeframe can be extended to months or even years.
