FAQs

Personal Injury

Do I have a case?

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence—such as in a car accident, a slip and fall, or a trucking incident—you may have a personal injury case. At Dixie Law Group, we offer free consultations to help determine the strength of your claim. Our experienced attorneys will walk you through your legal options and provide straightforward guidance on the next steps.

How much is my case worth?

No two cases are the same. The value of your case depends on your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, long-term impacts, and more. At Dixie Law Group, we take the time to understand how your injury has affected every part of your life. Our team has secured millions in compensation for clients, including several multi-six and seven-figure settlements, and we work hard to maximize your recovery.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In most Kentucky personal injury cases, you have one year from the date of the incident to file a claim. Dixie Law Group is well-versed in Kentucky statutes and timelines, and we act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your rights. Don't wait—contact us as soon as possible to avoid losing your right to compensation.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. Before you sign anything, let Dixie Law Group review the offer. We’ve built a reputation for fighting aggressively against lowball insurance tactics, and we’re not afraid to take cases to court when needed. You deserve fair compensation, and we’ll make sure you’re not pressured into an unfair deal.

What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

At Dixie Law Group, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us anything upfront—we only get paid if we win your case. Our goal is to remove the financial barrier to quality legal representation, and we’ll even help coordinate your medical care and expenses as your case progresses. Estate Planning FAQ – Dixie Law Group, PSC

Estate Planning

Why do I need an estate plan?

An estate plan ensures your assets go to the people and causes you care about—and that your wishes are followed if you become incapacitated. At Dixie Law Group, we understand that every family is unique. Whether you're planning for your children’s future, protecting elderly parents, or preparing for unforeseen health changes, we’ll help you create a customized plan that gives you peace of mind.

What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

A will allows you to name heirs and guardians, but it must go through probate, which can be costly and time-consuming. A trust, on the other hand, can avoid probate and provide more control over when and how your assets are distributed. Dixie Law Group’s estate planning attorneys will help you understand which option is best for your specific goals and financial situation.

What happens if I die without a will?

If you pass away without a will in Kentucky, your estate will be distributed according to state law—often in ways that don't reflect your personal preferences. The Dixie Law Group helps clients avoid these default outcomes by crafting thoughtful, legally sound wills and estate documents. Our goal is to make sure your legacy is preserved according to your wishes, not left to chance.

Do I need a lawyer to create a will or trust?

Yes, especially if you want to avoid costly mistakes. Online forms may not comply with Kentucky’s legal requirements and often lack the personal guidance needed for complex situations. The attorneys at Dixie Law Group take the time to understand your family dynamics, assets, and goals so that your documents are tailored, enforceable, and comprehensive.

How often should I update my estate plan?

Life changes—and your estate plan should, too. At Dixie Law Group, we recommend reviewing your plan every 3–5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, childbirth, or changes in financial status. We also offer ongoing support to keep your documents current as laws and circumstances evolve.
