Dozens of people are killed every single year on Kentucky’s dangerous interstates and highways.  Thousands are seriously injured.  You read about it in the paper. You see it on TV.  But unless you or your loved ones were one of the people directly affected, it probably didn’t feel quite real.  It may now.  And it is very real to Louisville, Kentucky, accident attorney Michael Schafer who has made it his mission to help victims of automobile accidents.

You used to feel safe in your car – until that day of the accident.  Maybe you got sideswiped on I-64.  Maybe an aggressive driver hit you on the Watterson Expressway or on Dixie Highway.  Maybe somebody ran a red light in downtown Louisville and demolished your car.

In the morning, before the accident, you were full of anticipation of what the day would bring.  You had plans.  You were looking forward to spending time with your family or friends after work.  After the crash, everything changed.

You’re in pain.  You may well be in the hospital.  You’re probably unable to work, at least for a while.  And, of course, your car is wrecked.  Although that’s the least of your problems and worries.

Who is going to pay for all this?  In fact, who will pay your bills?  Your grocery bills?  Your mortgage?  When will the pain go away? How will my car be fixed?

You need help – and fast.  And you’ll need the kind of help that only an experienced and trustworthy lawyer can provide.  The kind of help you’ll be able to get from accident attorney Mike Schafer.

For many years, Mike has made car accidents the focal point of his practice.  In the heart of Kentucky, surrounded by so many accident-prone highways and interstates, he has seen all too often the damage and pain that car accidents can wreak upon people’s lives.  He wants to help those who have been hurt in accidents through no fault of their own.

He has been very successful with helping countless clients receive compensation for their pain and suffering.  He will do everything in his power to help you too.

If knowledge is power, he has a lot of that power.  He knows the laws and regulations inside out.  He knows all the tricks of the trade, including those of the other side.  His several years of working for insurance companies have taught him those.

His nearly two decades of representing accident victims has given him the hands-on experience that is priceless, along with a winning track record.  Mike fights hard for his clients, and his opponents know it.  So with Mike as your lawyer, you’ll know you’re in good hands, and you’ll know that your chances at recovering compensation are as good as they can possibly be.

So if you’ve been in an accident anywhere in Kentucky, whether in the Louisville area, or in LaGrange KY, Shepherdsville KY, Taylorsville KY, Shelbyville KY, Brandenburg KY, St. Matthews KY, Prospect KY, Middletown KY, Douglas Hills KY, or in Newberg KY, or even in Bullitt County KY, Oldham County KY, Shelby County KY, Hardin County KY, Spencer County KY, or Meade County, KY, give Mike a call and let him help you.

Now what will it be like when Mike is your attorney.  Will you even get to talk to him in person?

Of course you will.  Other attorneys may pass their clients off to their staff and their legal aids.  Other attorneys may make their clients feel they are just a number.

Mike doesn’t do that.  He will personally meet with you.  He will personally return your phone calls.  He will listen to you and he will answer all of your questions.  Mike cares about you.

So if you live in Louisville Kentucky, or in any other part of Kentucky, including Oldham County, Bullitt County, Hardin County, or in Metro Louisville, contact Mike today and he will tell you what he can do for you.

Now there is one more thing you must know.  If you’ve been in a car accident, you need to act promptly.  Time is of the essence here.

Why is that, you may ask?  In order to win a case, your lawyer will need evidence.  And the longer you wait with contacting a lawyer, the more elusive that evidence will become.  It has a way of disappearing if there’s no lawyer making sure that it doesn’t. 

You may also think, what’s so complicated about car accidents anyway?  Doesn’t everybody have insurance and won’t the insurance company just pay me?

Sure you would.  If you’re very lucky, and if you’re ready to be paid off cheaply that is. The car insurance companies want you to think that you won’t need an attorney.  They have good reasons for that!

What they don’t want you to know is this:  Often, there are other insurance policies that are applicable to your accident. Policies that could pay you more for your pain and suffering. These policies may be that of an employer or an umbrella policy, to name a few.   Will the insurance company volunteer that information? Of course not. And even with the driver’s basic policy, they have quite a bit of leeway.  Unless you have an attorney, they will try to get away with paying the least amount possible, if they’ll pay at all.

So if you want to get fair compensation for your injuries and damages, you really need an attorney.  Call an attorney you can trust.  Call Mike Schafer at (502) 584-9511.

What will it cost?  Your consultation is always free.  And once Mike takes your case, he’ll work on a contingency basis.  He only gets paid if he wins your case, and then his money will be a portion of the award.  You’ll have no out-of-pocket expenses at all.

So, call today for your free consultation:  (502) 584-9511.  Make sure that he can build the best case possible for getting you the compensation you deserve.

Isn’t it bad enough you got hurt?  Call Mike, so you won’t get hurt twice!
