Karl Truman, Louisville Personal Injury Lawyer

If someone else acted carelessly, and as a result you suffered injuries, needed to pay hospital bills, or missed time from work, hiring a personal injury lawyer after a car accident is almost always worth it. 

Insurance companies are notorious for denying claims or only offering you a fraction of what your case is truly worth. The insurance adjuster’s job is to save money for the insurance company, not to be fair to you.  

To get the best possible settlement, you will typically need to: 

• Provide significant evidence that the other party was clearly at fault. This may require working with crash scene investigators, traffic experts, and other professionals most non-attorneys don’t have access to. 
• Provide extensive medical documentation of your injuries. 
• Provide extensive documentation of your medical bills, lost wages, and future projected costs. 
• Convince the insurance company that you are willing and able to take them to court (and win) if they don’t pay up. 

All of these things are much, much easier with an experienced personal injury lawyer like those at the Karl Truman Law Office on your side. 

If your car accident was a minor one, with no significant injuries, you may not need a personal injury attorney. However, it’s still a very good idea to call Karl Truman Law Office first for a free consultation. Even if you don’t hire us to handle your case, you can still benefit from our free, impartial case review. 

You should contact Karl Truman Law Office as soon as possible if you are hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault. There are many reasons why you need to act quickly.  

• First, the evidence you need to prove your injury claim won’t last forever. We will act quickly to investigate the accident, protect essential evidence.  
• Second, the insurance company will try quickly to settle your claim as cheaply as possible. It might even try to get you to make damaging statements that devalue your claim. We can protect you from these insurance company tactics, and give you the time and space you need to heal.  

• Third, there are important legal deadlines that may apply to your case, based on state law, insurance policies, and other factors. If you miss these deadlines you may lose your ability to recover any compensation. 

While some minor accidents won’t require an attorney, initial consultations are always free. Whether you hire us or not, you have nothing to lose (and potentially much to gain) by seeking out expert legal advice.

If you’ve been injured by someone else’s carelessness, you are entitled to seek compensation for the losses you’ve experienced, including: 

• Economic damages, such as medical bills, lost wages (or reduced wage-earning capacity), cost of medications and therapy, cost of household services, and more. 
• Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional anguish, disfigurement, impaired relationships, and other hardships that affect the quality of your life. 

The value of a case can also be affected by other factors, such as who was responsible and how much insurance coverage is available. 

Calculating damages is a complex process, and insurance companies are notorious for undervaluing claims. Our lawyers review all cases thoroughly to fully document all damages, uncover all potential sources of insurance coverage, and fight to get you full, fair value for your claim. 

You will not pay anything out of pocket to work with the Karl Truman Law Office on your personal injury case. 

Our attorneys work on contigency. That means we are paid an agreed-upon percentage of your final settlement or award. In other words: we don’t get paid unless you do, too. We will also cover any case or court fees up front, and only get reimbursed if we get you a recovery.  

Research consistently shows that injury victims who are represented by an experienced attorney still receive much higher compensation on average than those who are unrepresented, even when accounting for attorney fees. 

The team at Karl Truman Law Office works hard to make sure every client receives excellent legal representation, and is also listened to, respected, and treated with the utmost care and compassion. 

You should know within the first month if we are the right law firm for you. If you aren’t 100% satisfied with our representation at any point within the first 30 days after hiring us, you can walk away and owe us nothing—even if we’ve already spent time and money working on your case.
