How Haydon Blackmon PLLC Can Help You After an Auto Accident
After a crash, you’re usually dealing with pain, time off work, vehicle issues, and insurance calls all at once. When you hire Haydon Blackmon PLLC, we take over the claim and handle the legal work that protects your case and moves it forward.
- We deal with insurance companies for you. We handle adjuster calls, paperwork, and follow-up requests. We also manage communications in a way that avoids misunderstandings and protects your claim.
- We protect you from the “early pressure” tactics. Many insurers push for quick settlements before you know the full scope of your injuries. We step in early so you are not boxed into answers or agreements that can limit your options later.
- We gather & preserve evidence. We obtain and review the crash report, organize photos and witness information, and look for additional evidence. This matters on busy routes where vehicles get moved quickly and details can disappear.
- We connect your injuries to the crash with clear documentation. Injuries like whiplash, back pain, and concussions are common, but insurers often downplay them if symptoms develop later or fluctuate. We build a clean timeline so the carrier cannot pretend your condition is unrelated.
- We document the full cost of the accident. A claim should include more than the first medical bill. We track medical treatment, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, and the ongoing impact of the injury on your daily life.
- We push back when the insurer disputes fault or minimizes your injuries. Kentucky’s comparative fault rules make blame a big issue in negotiations. We investigate the facts, challenge unsupported fault claims, and respond with evidence when an insurer tries to reduce what they pay by shifting responsibility.
- We prepare the case as if it may need to be presented in court. Even when cases resolve through negotiation, the insurance company’s approach often changes when they know the claim is organized, supported, and ready to move forward.
What Injuries Can Look Like After a Car Wreck
Car crash injuries are not always obvious at the scene, and they rarely fit into neat boxes the way insurance companies want them to.
Injuries we commonly see in car accident cases include:
Whiplash & Neck Injuries
Whiplash is common in rear-end crashes and can lead to headaches, shoulder pain, and nerve symptoms.
Back Injuries & Spinal Trauma
Disc injuries, sciatica, and ongoing back pain often require therapy and continued care.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Concussions
Concussions and brain injuries can occur without direct head impact, and symptoms may appear days later.
Fractures & Broken Bones
Broken bones can involve surgery, rehab, and long recovery periods, and they often meet Kentucky’s threshold to pursue compensation outside the no-fault system.
Internal Injuries
Internal injuries may not show up immediately and can require urgent evaluation.
Cuts, Scarring, & Disfigurement
Lacerations can leave permanent scarring and affect daily life in practical and personal ways.
Haydon Blackmon PLLC helps by building a clear record that connects your symptoms to the wreck, supports your treatment choices, and shows how the injury affects your life and ability to work.
What to Do After a Car Accident
If you’re looking to bring a claim against an insurance company or a negligent driver, one of the most important things to focus on is keeping your case clean and consistent.
Keep following your treatment plan, save every document you receive, and write down anything you notice that affects your daily life, including pain flare-ups, missed work, and activities you can’t do the way you used to. Those details tend to matter later when an insurance company starts questioning what the injury has actually cost you.
Be cautious about what you give the insurance company from this point forward. If you’re being asked for a recorded statement or pressured to accept a settlement, get legal guidance before you respond. We can take over communication, organize the evidence, and build a clear timeline that supports your injuries and losses, so you’re not left trying to argue your case when you should be focusing on recovery.
Damages We Can Pursue in Car Accident Cases
What you can recover depends on the facts of your case. While we cannot promise outcomes, we work to ensure that your claims include everything the law allows and that your losses are fully documented.
Depending on your situation, compensation may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
- Rehabilitation and long-term care needs
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium in appropriate cases
Kentucky does not impose a general cap on damages in standard car accident injury cases, so the focus becomes proving the full impact and supporting the value with evidence.

In Kentucky, the deadline to file many car accident injury lawsuits is two years under KRS 304.39-230. Depending on the circumstances, the clock may run from the date of the accident or the date of the last PIP payment, whichever is later.
Two years can pass quickly when treatment is ongoing and the insurance company is slow-walking the claim. It is worth speaking with a lawyer early so you do not lose options.
