What you need to know if you have been injured

Louisville personal injury attorneys, qualified to handle car accident cases understand the impact that such an accident can have on their client’s live and the lives of their family.  

In Louisville Kentucky, car accidents occur more frequently than murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, and most thefts combined. More than once a second, just about every time your heart beats, there is a violent motor vehicle accident in the United States. Each year, vehicle accidents injure over five million people and killed close to 40,000. Nearly one half, or 19,000 of these killed, and 355,000 injured, were involved in alcohol-related vehicle crashes. All in all, over 5,000,000 Americans each year wish they had left home a little earlier, stayed at the office a few minutes later, or stopped for gas along the way; anything to have avoided being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

If you or a loved one has been in an automobile accident, discussing your case with a qualified Louisville personal injury attorney is the first step toward returning your life to normal and seeking the maximum monetary award for injuries suffered.

If you are injured in a personal injury case or if you know someone who is injured who has such a case, then you or they should speak to a Louisville personal injury attorney right away.  Not in every case, but in some cases, the first 24-48 hours can be crucial.  There are “spoliation” considerations and other such legal technicalities that if you do not properly preserve the evidence or if you don’t have an expert or investigator go to the scene of the accident right away to interview witnesses or take photographs, you could be hurting your case in a significant way.  It has been the experience of the Law Offices of Andrew S. Alitowski that the best cases are those that get worked on right away and become rock solid from the beginning.  Also, it is usually within the first one to two days that if there is a car accident or some other type of accident that an investigator or adjuster for the other side may come and speak to you about the case.  Any Louisville personal injury attorney will warn you that what you say during this time can make or break a case.  And it is the recommendation of the Law Offices of Andrew S. Alitowski that you do not speak to the other side until 1) you have spoken to a Louisville personal injury lawyer or 2) that you have a Louisville personal injury attorney with you when you do speak to them.  A Louisville personal injury attorney will help guide you through this process and make sure that you don’t waive or sign any of your rights away at this very crucial time.
