Why does a truck accident in Shepherdsville and Bullitt County Kentucky require legal skill and experience? Have you or someone you love been seriously injured in a truck or commercial vehicle accident?
When any passenger car or motorcycle is hit by a truck, the driver and any passengers in the smaller vehicle will always be at a substantial disadvantage. The sheer weight differential between a truck and any passenger vehicle, especially at speed, will usually and unfortunately result in severe and sometimes fatal injuries.
What should you do if you or a loved one has suffered injury or loss of life in a truck accident in Shepherdsville, Bullitt County or across the State of Kentucky? Isn’t insurance simply going to handle everything?
The answer is, unfortunately, “no,” the insurance company (even your own insurance carrier) has no legal or financial incentive to make sure you receive full and fair compensation for the injuries you experience, all past, present, and future medical expenses, loss of wages due to missed work, modifications required in your car or home, let alone the pain and suffering you were forced to endure at the time of your injury and through the long phases of recovery.
My name is John Schmidt, and after more than 25 years of experience in cases involving personal injury or a truck accident in Shepherdsville and the Greater Louisville area, I can tell you these are complex legal cases that often involve more than one defendant and multiple layers of insurance.
In many cases, commercial vehicles are shielded by multiple business entities and several layers of insurance. The truck driver may carry their own insurance, and the cab of the truck or trailer may have their own separate insurance coverages. There are often multiple parties who are responsible for the injuries you and your loved ones have been forced to endure. They have their own powerful legal teams who will try to minimize the value and extent of your valid personal injury claim(s).
This is why you will need an experienced and proven attorney from the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates to protect your interests, investigate what happened and why, and pursue all legal avenues available to help you recover from what has happened.
If the case involves the loss of life, a wrongful death action is the legal remedy to protect the interests of the family. No amount of compensation can replace the presence, love, and companionship of a spouse, parent, child, or sibling. However, Kentucky law provides substantial financial remedies in wrongful death cases to help the families to recover from what has happened and manage life going forward.
