As we drive around Shepherdsville or throughout Bullitt County, Kentucky, and the surrounding communities, we are never planning to get in a car accident resulting in serious injuries that interrupt our life and work. In one moment, you’re driving along thinking about things like family and friends, and the next thing you know, you’ve been in an accident, and you are in the hospital recovering from serious and perhaps permanent injuries.
How will these injuries affect your life and that of your family? How will you bear the costs of all the treatment, rehab, lost work, and perhaps modifications to your home and vehicles? Is someone else responsible for you enduring these injuries and the long process of healing, rehab, and recovery?
My name is John Schmidt, and after more than 25 years as a Shepherdsville, Kentucky attorney I understand that things can become quickly overwhelming after a car accident resulting in serious injuries. You need trustworthy, responsive guidance and advice from a personal injury attorney who can help you through this challenging experience.
You will obviously have a lot of questions. The Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates, PLLC stands ready to answer many of these crucial questions while protecting your interests as you focus on recovering from what has happened.
If you have been injured in an accident and another driver is wholly or partially at fault, there is a lot my law firm and I can do to help. It is essential to realize that injury-related personal injury cases don’t usually remain open for years so the insurance company may cover all of your costs down the road. You will have one opportunity to settle your valid personal injury claim. That one settlement must cover every expense past, present, and future, as well as just and fair compensation for all you’ve been through.
You must know that the insurance adjuster or insurance agent working on your claim (even if it is your own insurance company) is not “on your side.” Their only responsibility is to get you to settle your case as quickly as possible for the lowest amount of money they can get you to accept. The offer of an insurance company is never enough to cover all of your past, present, and future medical expenses, lost wages, modifications to your home and vehicle, or just and fair compensation for having to endure and recover from your injuries.
It is not in your interest to speak with insurance representatives directly, even to give them a “quick answer to a brief question.” There’s no such thing. And even a simple statement like “I’m ok” can be used against you down the road.
If you have been injured in a car accident resulting in serious injuries you need the advice and counsel of a strong personal injury attorney who is “on your side” and will protect your interests.
