What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Independence Cost?
Most personal injury lawyers in Kentucky work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of your settlement or verdict. This percentage typically ranges from 33 to 40 percent, depending on the case complexity and whether the case goes to trial. Some lawyers also charge for upfront costs like filing fees or expert witness expenses, which may be deducted from your final recovery. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is one year from the date of the injury. If you do not file within this time, you may lose your right to sue.
How does Kentucky's comparative fault rule affect my case?
Kentucky uses a pure comparative fault system. You can recover compensation even if you are 99 percent at fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. A lawyer can help determine how this applies to your situation.
