The Law Offices of Dan F. Partin

  • What types of cases does Dan F Partin Law Offices handle?

    Dan F Partin Law Offices specializes in personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, birth injuries, brain injuries, wrongful death, and nursing home abuse or neglect matters.
  • Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire your firm?

    No upfront payment is required. We provide a free initial consultation, and we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you won't pay attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kentucky?

    For most personal injury cases in Kentucky, you have one year from the injury date to file a claim. However, different deadlines may apply to certain cases such as medical malpractice or claims involving minors. We recommend consulting with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure timely filing.
  • What should I do after being injured in an accident?

    After sustaining an injury in an accident, you should: seek immediate medical attention, document the scene and your injuries when possible, avoid speaking with insurance companies before consulting an attorney, and contact an experienced personal injury lawyer for guidance. Our firm will handle all insurance communications so you can concentrate on your recovery.
  • Will my case go to court?

    While most personal injury cases are resolved through settlements outside of court, Dan F Partin Law Offices prepares each case as if it will proceed to trial. If insurance companies fail to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to litigate aggressively on your behalf.
  • Do I need a lawyer after a motorcycle accident?

    Motorcycle accidents typically result in serious injuries, and insurance companies often attempt to minimize compensation. Having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney helps protect your rights and ensures you pursue full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
  • How much does it cost to hire a motorcycle accident attorney?

    Most motorcycle accident attorneys, including our firm, operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no legal fees are charged unless we successfully recover compensation for your case.
  • How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

    The statute of limitations varies by state. Failing to file within this timeframe can prevent you from recovering any compensation. We strongly recommend consulting with an attorney immediately following your accident to ensure compliance with all deadlines.
  • How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

    Resolution timeframes vary—some cases settle within months, while more complex situations involving medical malpractice or severe injuries may require additional time. Our firm focuses on building strong cases rather than accepting quick but inadequate settlements.
  • What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Kentucky follows a comparative fault system, which means you may still receive compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your recovery amount may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the incident.
  • How quickly can I get my settlement?

    Every case is different. Some cases settle quickly, while others take longer. We work hard to resolve your case as quickly as possible while pursuing the best outcome possible.
