A serious personal injury can destroy your personal and professional life. However, if another party is at fault for causing you harm, you may be entitled to receive compensation. At Williams & Towe Law Group, our attorneys provide passionate advocacy for injury victims in Kentucky. With 75 years of combined experience, our legal team knows how to negotiate with insurance companies. Whether you are injured in a car accident or because of a defective product, rest assured our experienced attorneys are ready to represent you with skill and compassion.

Helping clients recover compensation after a motor vehicle accident

If you sustain injury in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, seek medical attention immediately. Then, to maximize your chances of recovering compensation, consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Kentucky is what is known as a choice no-fault state for insurance purposes. Normally, in a no-fault state, a driver must turn to his or her own insurance provider to recover compensation for auto accident injuries. However, Kentucky allows you to opt in to the no-fault auto-insurance program or purchase your own tort-based coverage.

Our attorneys can assist you in obtaining reimbursement for medical bills and other expenses through your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance policy if you choose no-fault insurance coverage. Alternatively, if you have tort-based coverage, our lawyers are prepared to file a lawsuit against the other driver or whoever is responsible for causing you harm to recover the full, fair compensation you deserve.

Diligent counsel determines liability in truck accidents

Trucking accidents often result in catastrophic if not fatal injuries. If you or a loved one is hurt in an accident with a semi-truck or 18-wheeler, our firm will work to seek the maximum possible recovery. The first step in seeking compensation in a trucking accident is to determine who is responsible. While at first glance you may be inclined to point the finger at just one party, any of the following parties may be at fault:

• Trucking company — Truck companies have a duty to ensure their drivers are licensed, not overworked, and able to pass routine drug tests.
• Truck manufacturer — If any component of a truck malfunctions, the driver may lose control of the vehicle. Truck manufacturers must rigorously test and inspect vehicles before they are released to market.
• Driver — The driver may be at fault if he or she is in violation of federal rules that govern large commercial vehicles, such as required rest breaks, following the speed limit, and not getting behind the wheel while drunk or under the influence of prescription or illicit drugs.

When your life is turned upside down by a trucking accident, our lawyers work tirelessly to uncover and hold responsible the person or parties at fault so you get the payments you need.

Assistance filing a defective product injury claim

Product manufacturers have a responsibility to develop and release merchandise that is safe when used as directed and free of defects. Unfortunately, many Americans suffer harm each year because of product defects introduced at one or more stages:

• Manufacturing — Unsafe defects may arise during the manufacturing process.
• Design — Some products are defective by design. This means that before the product is even manufactured, it is deemed unsafe.
• Marketing — A product may pass through the design and manufacturing phases flawlessly only to carry incorrect labeling, improper instructions, or incomplete safety warnings.

If you purchase and use a product in the manner that it was intended and suffer injury as a result, our legal team can help you file a products liability lawsuit. However, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible after your injury, because the statute of limitations for such claims in Kentucky is only one year. Whether you are hurt because of a defective air bag, dangerous prescription drug, or inherently dangerous piece of equipment, you can count on us to be your voice.

Compassionate counsel for a wrongful death matter

If a negligent party is responsible for taking the life of someone you love, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While taking legal action may be the farthest thought from your mind given the circumstances, doing so can help you obtain compensation for funeral expenses as well as the loss of the care, companionship, guidance, and support of your loved one. Our understanding legal team can guide you through the process of filing a claim and fight passionately to help your family recover rightful damages.
