TRANSCRIPT:

For a wrongful death case in Ohio or Kentucky, you have to file it within what’s known as the statute of limitations. That can be complicated, and it’s best to talk to an attorney. But generally, for Ohio, it’s two years. For Kentucky, it’s just one.

what our clients say

I was in an accident with a semi, Lawrence & Associates represented me and I loved how I was treated very professional.

-April Hearn

I contacted Justin Lawrence to handle a legal issue that he previously tried in the Kentucky Supreme Court. Based on his experience and knowledge, the entire situation was resolved with a liability carrier in less than 6 weeks. His office was easy to work with and responded to all inquiries the same day.

-Carol Greissman

I had been trying for four years to get disability after hurting my back to the point I could barely walk. In those four years I developed other ailments like fibromyalgia and arthritis. Lawrence and Associates helped me to finally get approved and I couldn’t be more thankful!!
