Richmond Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Separate Records For The Injury And Accident

Photographs and witness information address what happened. Treatment notes, restrictions, and income records address the resulting loss. Both parts need an adequate record.

  • 1An early offer may arrive before the full medical picture is clear.
  • 2Missing or incomplete records can be used to question an injury.
  • 3A recorded statement can be compared with later records and testimony.
  • 4Posts and photographs may be taken out of context.
  • 5A broad medical authorization may expose unrelated medical history.
  • 6A signed settlement release can end the case before all losses are documented.

Compensation You’re Owed for a Car Accident

After an injury, damages come in two forms: economic and non-economic. They are designed to make a victim whole for out-of-pocket losses and to compensate them for the physical and emotional tolls that come with the injuries.

✓Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, and imaging
✓Prescriptions, physical therapy, and follow-up care
✓Future medical care the evidence supports
✓Lost wages documented through pay and tax records
✓Reduced future earning ability
✓Vehicle repair or replacement
✓Physical pain during and after recovery
✓Lost activities, hobbies, and independence
✓Strain on marriage and close relationships
✓Emotional and psychological harm

Restrictions During A Busy Week

Missed appointments, reduced work hours, and difficulty with daily tasks can be easy to overlook in a short initial file. The records should identify actual changes rather than rely on a broad statement that life became harder.

Protecting Your Accident Case

Keep the treatment and accident records together as the case develops.

Do

✓Keep original photographs and repair records.
✓Save insurer letters, emails, and texts.
✓Document missed work with employer records.
✓Describe symptoms and restrictions accurately to treating providers.

Don’t

✗Guess about a recovery date.
✗Sign an authorization you do not understand.
✗Discard a damaged vehicle without considering its evidence.
✗Treat an early offer as an evaluation of undocumented future care.

Giving Back Through Sam Cares

Kentucky is our home. Through Sam Cares, Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers has given more than $6,000,000 to charities, schools, and community organizations across the state.

When floods hit Eastern Kentucky, our team loaded trucks with food, water, and supplies and drove them to the families who needed them. We show up for the communities we serve, and that includes Richmond.

Bigger Share Guarantee®

The amount left for the client is part of evaluating any settlement. The lawyer’s fee is only one deduction; bills, liens, and costs can also affect the distribution.

Under the Bigger Share Guarantee®, you receive more than the firm. If your share would be less, the firm cuts its fee. This is a protection for the division of a recovery, not a promised settlement amount.

How It Works

1

Your Injury
Case Settles

We recover compensation through settlement or verdict and determine the full amount coming into the case.

2

We Calculate
Your Net Recovery

Medical bills, liens, and case expenses are accounted for so the real bottom-line numbers are clear.

3

Our Fee is Compared
With Your Net

We apply our contingency fee and compare it to what you would actually take home.

4

Bigger Share
Guarantee® Protects You

If our fee would leave you with less than us, we reduce it so you get the bigger share. Period.
