Personal Injuries
We have decades of experience helping injured clients recover compensation for their losses. If you have a personal injury case, we are available to meet with you at no cost to discuss your options and your rights to compensation.
It is important to consult with an attorney soon after your injury to protect your rights. A statute of limitations will establish a deadline that impacts your ability to recover damages.
We have a proven record of recovering damages for our clients for their pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, loss of consortium, and litigation costs.

Workplace Injuries
Most workplace accidents result in workers' compensation claims.
Attorney Ed Clark has more than twenty-five years in workers' compensation law. In many cases he can help you obtain temporary total disability benefits while you recover from your injury, and additional benefits for your permanent injuries.
Ed can also help you find a physician who will fairly evaluate your limitations. While helping injured workers secure their workers' compensation benefits, Ed will also look for other sources of recovery. If safety standards have been violated or if a faulty product causes the injury, he will pursue additional claims and damages.
Wrongful Death
The Clark Law Office attorneys have extensive experience handling both the probate and litigation aspects of wrongful death cases. In one case, we helped secure millions of dollars in benefits for the surviving family. In another, at the family’s request we secured the full benefits available under the applicable insurance policy. We provide personal, prompt and professional service.
Under Section 411.130 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, a wrongful death is when the “death of a person results from an injury inflicted by negligence or wrongful act of another.” The wrongful act may be intentional or unintentional. A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed against the person, business or government causing the fatal injuries.
A personal representative of the person who died can file a lawsuit against the responsible party. The personal representative is responsible for prosecuting the wrongful death suit and administering the deceased’s estate and will. Therefore, it is wise to hire a wrongful death attorney who has experience in probate law as well as litigation and courtroom experience.
Due to a short statute of limitations, it is important to act quickly. Please call us if you need to speak to a wrongful death attorney in Kentucky. Our office in Lexington, KY is centrally located, and we welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Products Liability
Product liability lawsuits address defective or dangerous products. The defect or danger may be caused by the design, development, construction, manufacturing, processing, assembling, testing, warning, advertising, marketing, packaging or labeling of the product. In product liability claims, the manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, or retailers are held responsible for injuries caused by the products they design, create or sell.
What are the types of product liability claims?
In general, there are four main types of product liability claims:
- Negligence claims – Negligence claims arise when a manufacturer or designer fails to exercise ordinary care regarding the product. The claims include manufacturing defects, design defects, failure to warn of known side effects, and exaggerated marketing claims about the products.
- Strict liability claims – Strict liability claims focus on the defective nature of the product instead of the actions by the manufacturer. In these cases, if the product is defective, the manufacture is responsible regardless of whether the manufacture was negligent when making the product.
- Breach of warranty claims – Breach of warranty claims include the breach of an express warranty, the breach of an implied warranty of merchantability, or the breach of an implied warranty of fitness.
- Consumer protection claims – Consumer protection claims – Consumer protection claims are used to provide remedies for defective products.
