Lexington Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Providing Compassionate Counsel

In our tech-savvy world, pedestrians are becoming more and more at-risk. Drivers are often distracted by their smartphones. It’s easy for a motorist to “tune out” their surroundings. They may not look up in time when a pedestrian enters the intersection, and the consequences can be life-altering. If you are the victim of a pedestrian accident, Gilbert Law Group PLLC can be the ally you need when seeking the justice you deserve. Our compassionate attorneys want to provide top-quality, personalized service to the injured.

Kentucky does not impose a limit on the amount of damages you can recover in a personal injury case. However, you only have one year from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit.

How Should You Start?

There are several ways to get started on your case. If you know of any witnesses, make sure that you contact them. Communicate your side of the story to ensure it matches with theirs. Make note of any details you remember. These often fade quickly from the memory, so it’s important to write them down as soon as possible so that you can refer to them at a later date.

You can also prepare for your case by:

• Keeping a journal that details expenses from your accident
• Photographing your injuries, the scene of the accident, and any dangers
• Writing down your personal account of the accident
• Collecting information from drivers who caused the accident
• Notifying parties-at-fault of your intent to sue

After this, an experienced Lexington personal injury attorney can compile your information into a presentable format and advocate for you. It may be best to settle with the defendants outside of the courtroom in a negotiation, but we are willing to litigate in the courts if we need to.

Fighting for You on a Contingency Fee Basis

Should we choose to take on your case, we won't get paid unless you do. We take our wages from a percentage of your payout. This allows you to hire us without having to pay anything upfront. If you don't recover any compensation, we won't either.
