Personal Injury Attorneys
Bowling Green

A personal injury attorney helps accident victims by handling the process of recouping some or all of the losses they have suffered during and after their accident. An attorney will build a personal injury case by speaking to witnesses, gathering medical records, reviewing police reports and much more. In some cases, they will work with the victim to ensure they are receiving necessary medical care. When a settlement needs to be negotiated with the insurance company, a personal injury attorney will speak on the victim’s behalf to ensure a fair settlement is reached. If he or she cannot work out a settlement, the attorney will determine if the case needs to go to trial.

After involvement in any type of accident you should speak with a personal injury attorney. They can explain what your legal options are. If an insurance company that is not your own is attempting to contact you after an accident, speak with an attorney first.

Hughes & Coleman offers a free consultation service that allows you to come in and meet with one of our experienced team members right in our Bowling Green office. We will listen to the facts of your accident and determine whether you have a case. If you can’t make it into our office, we can meet with you over the phone or come to you.

Many people find themselves struggling financially after an injury. Serious injuries can mean being physically unable to perform tasks which can lead to extended time off work or the loss of a job. Our office offers clients the ability to work with the firm on a contingency basis. This means that if the case does not result in settlement or compensation for the victim, nothing is owed to the firm. There are no hourly fees, and the firm will handle the costs associated with working on the case. If compensation is awarded to the victim, then the firm will be paid a pre-negotiated percentage of the damages awarded. Any specific questions you may have about this arrangement can be discussed during your free consultation at our Bowling Green office.

The potential client and the lawyer will interview each other in an initial consultation. The lawyer will evaluate various aspects of the accident and injuries to determine if a case can be made.

Clients should ensure that they are comfortable with the lawyer from both a personal and a professional standpoint. This is a prospective client’s opportunity to ask about the attorney’s experience and qualifications. You’ll be educated about what the process will be like and what to expect. Victims also typically have many “what if” questions. Potential clients are under no obligation to hire the lawyer after a consultation.
