My name is Jim Desmond, a Louisville personal injury attorney who has practiced in Kentucky since 1993 and in Indiana since 1994. Many of my cases result from referrals by past clients who have appreciated a lawyer dedicated to obtaining maximum compensation and providing responsive service.
A Record of Results
The laws regarding medical benefits, insurance requirements, and recovery of damages are significantly different in Kentucky and Indiana. Moreover, they have changed over the last several years. Now, an attorney has to fight to fight not only to obtain money on your behalf but also, has to fight to keep that money. Did you know that Medicare, Medicaid or your health insurance can assert a subrogation claim against your case thereby forcing you to pay them back for the medical expenses that they have paid on your behalf? It is my job to recover the money from the liability carrier and to minimize the claims of everyone else. This is how I earn my fee and maximize what I can put into your pocket from this whole ordeal.
I have obtained substantial recoveries on both sides of the border, and have also handled cases for clients in Tennessee.
Some of the thousands of cases I have handled include:
- A woman eight months pregnant was injured in an auto accident and the fetus was killed in the accident.
- A young man from the Bowling Green area had medical expenses that were $60,000 over the available coverage. I was able to get his medical expenses paid and still put a substantial amount in his pocket. My client was the only one who survived the accident.
- A postal carrier hit by a drunk driver The drunk driver was only insured for $25,000. I was able to recover both the limits of the liability and underinsured motorist coverage for a six figure settlement.
- A Ft. Knox solider who was killed in a motorcycle accident just six months before he was scheduled to retire from the military. While we could not recover the true value of his claim because of limited insurance coverage, I was able to recover the limits of all the insurance available.
- A Ft. Knox soldier who was injured on a motorcycle, and was injured by a semi-tractor trailer. We successfully argued that this soldier's military career was ruined after many years of service. I hired another attorney who served as co-counsel on the case because I knew he had significant experience with cases involving tractor-trailers. Together, we resolved that case in less than a year for a substantial, six-figure settlement.
- A wrongful death case for an Indiana resident who died 45 days after the accident due to infectious diseases coming from the injuries sustained in the accident.
- A young man from Tell City, Indiana who sustained serious injuries while on a motorcycle.
- A young woman injured while the driver of the vehicle she was in participated in drag racing.
- A young man who was injured by a drunk driver who crossed the center line of the Gene Snyder Highway and hit my client head-on.
Before opening my practice, I worked for over four years for the Becker Law Office, handling more than 250 cases involving car accidents and insurance coverage issues. I now serve clients all over Kentucky and Indiana. I have also handled cases in Tennessee. I am a sole practitioner, so you will deal directly with me at all times.
