Personal Injury Lawyers

When you are injured, you are vulnerable. The insurance adjuster knows this. They will call you while you are still in the hospital, offering a quick check to make you go away. They are betting that you are desperate, that you don't know the law, and that you are afraid to fight back.

They are betting against Freeman Childers.

We are not a "settlement mill" that takes every case and flips it for a lowball offer. We are trial lawyers. We prepare every single case—whether it is a fender bender in Corbin or a medical malpractice suit in Lexington—as if it is going to a jury trial. Why? Because when the insurance company knows we are ready to fight, they pay more.

What Is My Case Worth?

This is the question every client asks. While no lawyer can promise a specific number, we fight for three types of damages:

1. Economic Damages (The Bills): Every dollar you have lost. This includes past and future medical bills, lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity.

2. Non-Economic Damages (The Pain): Money for the physical pain, emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement.

3. Punitive Damages (The Punishment): In cases of gross negligence (like drunk driving), we seek extra money to punish the wrongdoer.

The "Contingency Fee" Promise

You can afford the best lawyer in Kentucky.

• No Upfront Cost: You pay $0 to hire us.

• We Advance Costs: We pay for the filing fees, the expert witnesses, and the medical records.

• No Win, No Fee: We only get paid a percentage of the settlement we win for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.

The Freeman Childers Difference

We are not a "billboard firm" from another state. We live here. We raise our families here. When we walk into a courtroom in Whitley, Laurel, or Knox county, the judges and juries know us. We understand the local roads, the local hospitals, and the local values.
