Fighting for Injury Victims in Kentucky
At Turner and Turner Law, we handle all types of personal injury cases, and we're here to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions, you have the right to seek compensation for your damages. The personal injury attorneys at Turner and Turner Law understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that injuries can take on victims and their families.
Personal injury cases can be complex, involving detailed investigations, medical documentation, expert testimony, and negotiations with insurance companies. Our experienced attorneys handle every aspect of your case, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we fight for your rights.
Free Consultation for Personal Injury Cases
We offer free initial consultations for personal injury cases. During your consultation, we'll review your case, explain your legal options, and answer your questions. There's no obligation, and we work on a contingency fee basis—you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail to address hazardous conditions—such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or other dangers—and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable. We represent slip and fall victims injured in stores, restaurants, parking lots, apartment buildings, and other properties.
Premises Liability
Beyond slip and fall accidents, property owners can be liable for various injuries occurring on their property, including inadequate security, swimming pool accidents, negligent maintenance, structural defects, and unsafe conditions. If you've been injured on someone else's property due to negligence, we can help you pursue compensation.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Dog bites and animal attacks can cause serious physical injuries, emotional trauma, and permanent scarring. Kentucky has specific laws regarding dog bite liability, and we help victims understand their rights and pursue claims against negligent pet owners or property owners.
Wrongful Death
When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. These cases require sensitivity and experience, and we're committed to helping families seek justice and financial recovery for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the loss of companionship.
Catastrophic Injuries
Severe injuries that result in permanent disability, long-term medical care, or significant lifestyle changes require substantial compensation to cover future medical needs, lost earning capacity, and ongoing care. We handle catastrophic injury cases involving spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, amputations, and other life-altering injuries.
Product Liability
When defective products cause injuries, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held accountable. We represent clients injured by dangerous consumer products, defective medical devices, contaminated food products, and faulty machinery or equipment.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Personal injury victims may be entitled to various types of compensation, depending on the circumstances of their case:
- Medical Expenses: Past and future medical bills, including emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and ongoing care
- Lost Income: Wages lost due to time away from work during recovery
- Lost Earning Capacity: Reduced ability to earn income in the future due to permanent disability or limitations
