to You
When you hire Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers for a personal injury case, we understand the trust you place in our top-rated Louisville and Lexington-based injury attorneys. Your car accident injury recovery is always our top priority.
Every client.
Every case.
Every Time.
Bigger Share Guarantee®
At Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, every client receives our exclusive Bigger Share Guarantee®.
You Always Get More. After deducting liens and expenses, your walkaway amount will always exceed our fees.
If your share totals less than ours, we’ll cut our fee. This means you never face a scenario in which your attorney gets more than you do.
$0 Out of Pocket Forever
Financial concerns should never prevent you from accessing top-tier representation. We’re In This Together.
We cover all expenses for experienced witnesses, case costs, and exhibit preparation to secure a top result. You focus on recovery, knowing you will never receive an out-of-pocket bill for legal representation.
When we win your personal injury case, everyone wins.
Dedicated Team of Three
Many firms have lawyers working huge caseloads with minimal help. We believe in smaller caseloads and bigger support.
When you hire us, you gain a dedicated team of three: a top-rated Kentucky attorney, a highly skilled case manager, and an experienced legal assistant.
This ensures you receive proactive updates and life-changing results.
No Increase For Litigation
Most law firms increase their contingency-fee percentage if a lawsuit is filed. That’s not the case here.
Litigation is pursued to benefit your case, not to increase our fees. Even if your case goes to trial, our rate stays the same.
While other firms charge you significantly more just for filing paperwork, we never will.
World-Class Service
Expect to be treated as a top priority. We pledge to provide biweekly updates at a minimum.
We proactively update you on every development so you never have to guess your case status. We promptly respond to calls and texts, ensuring your questions are answered.
Call or text 24/7, 365 days a year. $0 out of pocket with no exceptions.
Award Winning Representation
Winning big for clients while delivering world-class service is in our DNA. We are:
Forbes Best-In-State for personal injury (only two in KY selected).
Home to multiple 2026 Super Lawyers, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates.
Whether you were rear-ended on I-64, hit by an 18-wheeler on I-75, or hurt by someone else’s negligence anywhere in Kentucky , our personal injury attorneys have a proven track record of getting our clients every dollar they are owed.
Car Accidents
Kentucky ranks among the worst states for distracted and impaired driving crashes. Our Louisville car accident lawyers handle everything from fender benders to catastrophic multi-vehicle pileups , and we’ve recovered millions for drivers, passengers, and families across the Commonwealth.
Truck Crashes
With I-64, I-65, and I-71 converging in Louisville, trucking accidents are devastatingly common. These cases involve federal regulations, black box data, and multiple liable parties. Our truck accident attorneys know how to go after the carrier, the broker, and every insurer at the table.
Wrongful Death
Under Kentucky’s wrongful death statute (KRS 411.130), the personal representative of the estate can pursue compensation for lost income, medical costs, funeral expenses, and the pain of loss. We handle these cases with the urgency and respect your family deserves.
Motorcycle Wrecks
Riders face bias from insurers who assume they’re at fault. Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Louisville and Lexington push back hard with evidence, experienced testimony, and aggressive negotiation.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists have the same rights as motorists on Kentucky roads. When a driver fails to share the road, our attorneys pursue full compensation for injuries, bike damage, and lost wages.
Delivery Vehicle Accidents
Amazon, FedEx, and UPS drivers are on tight schedules and Kentucky’s roads pay the price. These cases often involve corporate liability , and we know how to pierce through contractor shields to find the real money.
Pedestrian Injuries
A pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always suffers serious injuries. Our Louisville pedestrian injury attorneys handle crosswalk accidents, parking lot incidents, and hit-and-run cases across Kentucky.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare crashes unlock layered insurance, from the driver’s personal policy to Uber and Lyft’s $1 million commercial coverage. We identify every available policy and stack them for maximum recovery.
Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance carriers that delay, deny, or lowball legitimate claims can face extra liability under Kentucky’s Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act. We hold them accountable when the playbook crosses the line.
How the Bigger Share Guarantee® Works
Your Case Settles
We recover compensation through settlement or verdict and determine the full amount coming into the case.
We Calculate Your Net
Medical bills, liens, and case expenses are accounted for so the real bottom-line numbers are clear.
We Compare the Fee
We apply our contingency fee and compare it to what you would actually take home.
The Guarantee® Protects You
If our fee would leave you with less than us, we reduce it so you get the bigger share. Period.

Kentucky Personal Injury FAQs
After a car accident, questions come fast. Medical bills. Lost wages. Insurance calls. Pressure to settle before you even know how badly you are hurt.

What is the Bigger Share Guarantee®?
Where do you handle car accident cases in Kentucky?
We pay for direct access to Kentucky traffic-camera footage.
Most firms wait for the police report. By the time it lands, the cameras that watched the crash have already overwritten the file. Kentucky’s TriMarc system clears most general recordings on a rolling window. That is fine if your crash is on a Tuesday morning and your firm is on it by Tuesday afternoon. It is not fine if anyone waits.
We are on an attorney-tier subscription that lets us request footage directly, without going through a public-records officer and a 30-day queue. If your crash happened on I-75, I-64, US 60, US 127, New Circle, or any state-monitored corridor through Fayette, Madison, Woodford, Scott, Clark, or Anderson Counties, there is a real chance the moment was on camera. We will know within days whether the file still exists, and we will preserve it before anyone else asks.
Camera access alone does not win a case. But losing the footage closes off one of the cleanest pieces of proof a Kentucky jury ever sees.
