Our last article in this series examined Property Damage and what to do with your car. Now we move on to the Bodily Injury Component of a Kentucky Auto Accident Claim. Again, we are assuming that you, as I did, suffered injuries that are non-life threatening and walked away from your crash......and without broken bones.

You would never believe the millions of thoughts that went through my mind as I knew I was about to be a Victim of a Kentucky Car Wreck.

I still had to come to work today, as I have clients that are in much worse...
