Karl Truman: Trusted Car Accident Lawyer Serving Kentucky and Indiana

Understanding Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common source of personal injury claims in both Kentucky and Indiana. Even crashes that appear minor can result in serious injuries that do not become apparent for days or weeks.

Kentucky operates under a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurance pays initial medical costs. Indiana is a fault-based state. Our attorneys know how to navigate both systems to maximize your recovery.

Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, impaired driving, adverse road conditions, and mechanical failures.

Time is Critical

Evidence disappears. Witness memories fade. Insurance companies begin building their case immediately. Contact us now to protect your claim.

Why Car Accident Cases Are Different

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Our team is trained to prevent that.

  • 1

    KY No-Fault Rules:

    Kentucky's no-fault system limits when you can sue. Knowing when you qualify to step outside it is critical to your recovery.

  • 2

    Hidden Injuries:

    Whiplash, soft tissue damage, and traumatic brain injuries often show no immediate symptoms. Early documentation is essential.

  • 3

    Disputed Liability:

    Insurance companies frequently dispute who was at fault. We investigate thoroughly and build airtight cases.

  • 4

    Lowball Offers:

    First settlement offers almost never reflect the true value of your case. We negotiate from strength, not desperation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Comprehensive answers about personal injury law in Kentucky and Indiana. Find the information you need to make informed decisions about your case.

  • How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Kentucky or Indiana?

    In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the last PIP payment. Indiana’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Claims involving government vehicles or road conditions may have even shorter deadlines. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your deadline. Do not wait. 

  • Do I need a lawyer if the other driver was clearly at fault?

    Yes. Even in cases with clear liability, insurance companies will work to minimize what they pay you. An experienced attorney ensures your medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future expenses are all accounted for in your settlement.

  • What if I was partially at fault in the accident?

    Kentucky uses a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Indiana uses a modified comparative fault rule, which bars recovery if you are 51 percent or more at fault. Our attorneys understand both systems.

  • How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

    Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. There are no hourly fees, no retainers, and no out-of-pocket costs to you.

  • What types of compensation can I recover?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in some cases punitive damages.



  • What should I do immediately after a car accident?

    Call 911. Document the scene with your phone. Get the other driver’s insurance and contact information. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters. Contact our office before speaking with anyone from the other driver’s insurance company.

  • How long does a car accident case typically take?

    Cases vary significantly. Some settle within a few months. Complex cases with disputed liability or serious injuries can take a year or more. We keep you informed every step of the way and work efficiently without sacrificing the value of your case.



  • Will my case go to trial?

    Most car accident cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go before a jury. Insurance companies know the difference between attorneys who settle cheap and those who try cases. We are trial lawyers.
