Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about personal injury and medical malpractice cases in Kentucky

  • Fees & Costs Do I have to pay upfront for legal representation?
    No. We handle personal injury and medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
  • Case Types What types of cases does Hance & Srinivasan handle?
    We handle a wide range of personal injury matters including motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, premises liability, product liability, and nursing home negligence cases across Kentucky.
  • Timeline How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kentucky?
    In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is one year from the date of the accident or injury. For medical malpractice cases, you generally have one year from when you discovered or should have discovered the malpractice. However, there are exceptions and specific circumstances that can affect these deadlines, so it's crucial to contact us as soon as possible.
  • Legal Process What should I do immediately after an accident or injury?
    Seek medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor. Then document everything — photos of the scene, witness contact information, and copies of police or incident reports. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
  • Timeline How long does a personal injury case usually take?
    Every case is different. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injuries, complex liability, or litigation can take one to three years. We work efficiently while ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve.
  • Legal Process What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
    Never accept an initial settlement offer without legal review. Insurance companies typically offer far less than the true value of your claim. We evaluate offers against medical costs, lost wages, future care, and pain and suffering to ensure any settlement is fair.
  • Fees & Costs What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
    Recoverable damages may include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in some cases punitive damages. We work with experts to quantify every element of your loss.
  • Legal Process Do I need to go to court for my case?
    Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without ever going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate aggressively on your behalf.
