Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Car crashes and unsafe property conditions can lead to hospitalization, damage your property and reduce your income. Learning about your rights can help you pursue financial justice after another person or a business injures you.
What are my options when an at-fault driver in Kentucky is uninsured or underinsured?
You can rely on your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to cover up to $10,000 of your medical expenses and lost wages. This no-fault coverage helps protect you when other drivers do not carry the insurance they should. Your policy by default also includes uninsured motorist coverage unless you specifically waived this protection.
You may have also invested in underinsured motorist coverage, which can supplement policies carried by at-fault drivers with low policy limits. Without uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your best option may be a personal injury lawsuit. You can hold the driver directly accountable for your economic and noneconomic losses caused by the crash.
There may even be third parties with a degree of liability, such as the at-fault driver’s employer if they were on the clock. Mr. Rossman can help you explore your options for optimizing your financial recovery.
What is the next step when an insurance company denies my claim?
Your insurance denial letter should explain the reason for the denial and the deadline to take action. Mr. Rossman can review the reason for the denial and help you take appropriate steps to remedy the situation.
Gathering additional evidence to prove who was at fault and the extent of your losses is often necessary. Photographs of unsafe property conditions, police reports and even crash reconstructions can help establish fault, while medical records and repair invoices can validate your losses.
You typically have the right to appeal an unfavorable claim decision internally within the insurance company, and Mr. Rossman can assist you with that formal process. In bad faith insurance scenarios, reporting the matter to the Kentucky Department of Insurance could help. A lawsuit may also be necessary to recover your losses.
Can my compensation claim include future medical costs or long-term disability losses?
Yes, your personal injury compensation claim can include future losses, such as estimated future medical expenses and losses related to long-term disability. Your lost earning capacity and long-term care costs, such as in-home nursing expenses, can contribute to the amount of compensation you request.
