General Personal Injury

Personal injuries can occur in many different ways. A personal injury can be caused by an unsafe product, a poorly maintained building, a motor vehicle collision, a surgical mistake, and other factors. Whatever the cause, a personal injury, in its legal sense, is the result of the actions or inaction of another person or group. If someone else has injured you, our Louisville, Kentucky personal injury attorney, Jason R. Segeleon can determine if you may be entitled to monetary compensation for pain, suffering, lasting disability, and other damages.

In addition to damages awarded for the physical hardship caused by an injury, Kentucky personal injury law also takes into account emotional and financial hardships experienced by the person who has been injured. Courts may also grant punitive damages, which are designed specifically to punish those responsible for causing the injury.

Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
It is important to file your personal injury case as soon as possible. The statute of limitations as outlined in Kentucky law states that a personal injury action must be filed within one year of the date of the injury. For auto accident cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the last payment of medical expenses. If the statute of limitations has expired, you will not be allowed to file a personal injury lawsuit regardless of the particulars of your case. We strongly encourage you to contact Louisville, Kentucky personal injury attorney Jason R. Segeleon to review your personal injury claim. He will ensure your personal injury case is filed before the statute of limitations has expired and will fight diligently for all of your legal entitlements.
