Louisville, Kentucky – No one usually thinks about having a car accident or what impact an injury would have on their life. Accidents occur when you least expect them, leaving devastation in their wake. Even injuries that seem minor initially can become painful and continue to get worse over a period of time. The impact of some injuries never goes away. Most people also fail to consider the possibility that their insurance company, or that of the other driver, will fail to cover any needed medical treatment. Without a really good Louisville auto accident attorney to defend their rights, the end result could be much worse than they ever imagined.

Drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who are injured due to the acts of another driver may have a solid personal injury case. When a driver is going at a high speed and strikes another vehicle or someone walking along the side of the road, severe injuries can result. Insurance companies often resort to tactics such as trying to minimize the injury and accuse the victim of having pre-existing injuries on which they are basing the claim. A Louisville auto accident attorney knows the tactics that insurance companies use and the type of proof needed to prove the individual’s case.

Any person who is injured as the result of another driver’s actions has the right to collect compensation from the insurance companies. Even minor injuries can lead to thousands of dollars in medical bills. If the victim is unable to work or enjoy normal activities, they should also be compensated for their lost wages and the pain and suffering that their injuries have caused. Jerry McCullum is an experienced Louisville auto accident attorney who has represented many clients successfully. He knows what to look for to determine if a client has a good case and the records that are needed to prove the case.

No one without the knowledge and skills of an experienced Louisville auto accident attorney should try to deal with the insurance companies on their own. Agreeing to a settlement or simply accepting a denial could result in a financial burden that they can never overcome. Leave the case to a professional who is always there for his clients.
