Injuries to the back and neck resulting from vehicle or slip and fall accidents can be extremely devastating, requiring expensive medical attention and extensive recovery time. In addition, because such injuries are so physically limiting, you may be unable to work for a significant period of time, resulting in lost wages.
If you have suffered whiplash or a back injury due to the fault or negligence of others, you have the right to recover financial compensation. The experienced attorneys of Winton & Hiestand Law Group, PLLC will review all the medical, financial and accident evidence surrounding your case, and work to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Injured parties may be able to receive compensation for past, present, and future medical bills, lost wages from time off work, diminished capacity to earn, and past and future pain and suffering.
In some instances, Kentucky law ALSO allows juries to award punitive damages.
Punitive damages are meant to punish behavior that is intentional and/or grossly negligent to dissuade others from the same behavior.
