How We Can Help You
Our Personal Injury Practice
Personal injuries can occur in many ways. However, they are often based on negligence or wrongdoing on the part of another person, group, or entity. In these cases, the other parties owed you a duty of care, which was then breached, leading to your injuries. The elements of this must be supported by evidence such as police reports, medical reports, photographs, surveillance footage, witness testimony, and any other documentation that proves negligence and fault.
For example, a drunk driver who causes a traffic collision in which you are injured can face not only criminal charges but also be civilly held responsible for your losses and damages through your injury claim. This is a separate legal action that generally leads to negotiations with the other party and/or their insurer for a settlement. Where this fails or is not in your best interests, the claim can be litigated in court.
Injury accidents can occur at home, at work, or in public. Our firm has established a reputation as an aggressive personal injury and workers' compensation firm for clients throughout Lexington.

Damages in Personal Injury Cases
The damages you may be entitled to in personal injury cases depend on the facts of the case, including the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life.
These damages can include:
- Past and future predicted medical expenses
- Lost income/wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries
Medical expenses cover all your medical bills, including the cost of care related to the injury, such as emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatment.
Lost wages are used to compensate for any missed wages, such as those you would have earned if not injured. These can include missed workdays or a temporary disability. Where injuries are catastrophic, you may be eligible for compensation for your loss of earning capacity due to permanent disability, such as traumatic brain injury, severe burns, amputation, or spinal cord damage. Catastrophic injury compensation can also include home care assistance, home or vehicle renovations to accommodate a permanent disability, and more.
Pain and suffering cover these physical and emotional elements of what you have endured due to the injury. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish wrongdoers for their reckless or malicious behavior.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
Most injury claims involve dealing with the at-fault party’s insurer. These well-funded insurance companies may seem friendly, but their main objective is to keep payouts as low as possible. This often results in tactics used against vulnerable injury victims, such as pressuring you to close your case quickly with a lowball settlement offer or giving you the runaround for weeks or months after filing your claim.
These companies are more apt to provide fair settlements when you have a respected trial lawyer on your side. With Oakley & Oakley representing you, they know that they cannot take advantage of your lack of knowledge and the stress you are under at this critical time.
