Car And Vehicle Accident Attorneys Serving Lexington And Central Kentucky

Last updated on October 1, 2024

Motor vehicle accidents are often very severe and can produce rippling consequences. Unfortunately, the stress and inconvenience only begin with the collision. From seeking medical treatment for unexpected injuries to deciding on a replacement vehicle and responding to confusing and stressful letters and phone calls, the list may start to seem endless.

After you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, our attorneys at Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, are prepared to represent you and remove the confusion and stress associated with the claims process. With over two decades of combined experience, we will work hard to obtain a prompt, fair and reasonable settlement or take the case all the way to a jury verdict.

What Caused The Crash?

Many actions, behaviors or incidents can lead to a car, truck, motorcycle, recreational vehicle or trucking accident, including:

• Speeding
• Ignoring a traffic control device
• Texting while driving
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Negligent and reckless conduct are the two most common root causes of motor vehicle accidents. Such behavior can lead to wrongful death or an array of serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), head injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones and more.

The Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, Advantage

In working with our lawyers, you will benefit from our experience and knowledge of accident claims and injury litigation across Kentucky. We are committed to protecting your legal interests and recovering the compensation that you deserve.

We have worked on both sides of personal injury cases, having previously worked with insurance companies. We understand how our opponents approach such cases and apply that knowledge to everything from helping you file an insurance claim, gather records and evidence, negotiate a prompt and fair settlement, or, if necessary, litigate your case up to and through a jury trial.

A majority of injury claims settle outside of the courtroom and before a lawsuit is filed. Litigation can be a harrowing experience, particularly when all you want to do is focus on getting your life back to normal. We will work aggressively to achieve a prompt and fair settlement for your case. However, if a presuit settlement is not in your best interests, we will not back down from filing suit and taking your case to trial.
