Pursuing Full Damages
Victims of car accidents may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Covers immediate and long-term treatment.
- Lost Wages: Reimburses income lost due to injury recovery.
- Pain and Suffering: Accounts for emotional distress and reduced quality of life.
- Property Damage: Repairs or replaces your vehicle.
Our team fights for every dollar you deserve.
Kentucky’s Car Accident Laws
Kentucky operates under a no-fault insurance system, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This means:
- PIP pays for your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident.
- You can file a lawsuit if injuries exceed specific thresholds, such as $1,000 in medical expenses or significant loss of function.
Statute of Limitations
Victims have two years from the accident date or the last PIP payment to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline may bar you from pursuing compensation. Our lawyers ensure all legal filings are timely and accurate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
How Much is My Case Worth?
Case values depend on factors like injury severity, medical costs, and impact on daily life. Our attorneys evaluate every aspect to estimate fair compensation.
Can I File a Claim If I’m Partially at Fault?
Yes. Kentucky follows a comparative negligence rule, allowing compensation even if you share fault. However, your payout may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
What If the Other Driver is Uninsured?
Uninsured motorist coverage can help in such cases. We analyze your policy and explore all options to secure compensation.

EXCELLENT Based on 315 reviews Kat Chow2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't stress enough how grateful I am that we hired Paul Marriett to help us with our case. His communication was not only timely and thorough but also understandable. He did a phenomenal job guiding us through the process and preparing us for the courtroom, which put our minds at ease. Once our hearing came, he did his job flawlessly and won our case. Additionally, he was quite pleasant to speak with when our judge was behind schedule and while the court was in recess. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney and will reach out again in the future should we ever need representation. angel martinez2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and helpful! I would recommend to all my friends and family to hire him. He was eager to know the circumstances of my case even before I hired him. I did contact other lawyers and offices, but none came close to the comfort I felt while talking to Mr. Marriertt, I really felt like he cared about the situation I found myself in. He deserves 6 stars for going above and beyond John Harker2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul helped me out with a traffic citation. The communication was great as he walked me through my options and what to expect with my court date and plea deal. 10/10 service. Highly recommended. Thanks again, Paul. Ryan H.2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was very professional, sharp dressed and clearly a notch above most in the courtroom. He understood my plight and refused to be bullied. Knows the law to a T....I'm keeping him on speed dial. I think u will trust him too. Scorpion Solar2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BEYOND satisfied with the services & representation! The communication & efforts have been above & BEYOND! Amazing price as well for a minor traffic hiccup. 11/10 recommend & prefer this firm for any future occurrences!!! Very transparent, & puts in the effort to help you!!! Zak Green2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are needing a lawyer in Rockford or the surrounding areas this is the guy you need to get ahold of! Do not waste your time or money going to someone else.... From the very start Mr. Marriett was on top of his job. I called several lawyers before him and he was the first to thoroughly explain everything I needed to hear without even asking him to. The definition of a great lawyer. Each time we went to court he always let me know ahead of time either in person or via phone what the expectations or options would be going in. I highly recommend Paul Marriett if you are in need of a lawyer! Kelli2024-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Explained everything well. Kept us informed. I'm glad we found him. bruce paulson2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very late on sharing my feedback only because I’m google illiterate. Attorney Merriett did a very smart excellent job for me and not real expensive considering how stupid I was to get in trouble . Thank you! For all your professionalism! Bruce P. Austin “i like trains” Arvey2024-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and a reliable lawyer. I'm glad we got him instead of getting anyone else. :)
