We are very sorry but we do not accept a plaintiff’s case involving personal injury from cigarette smoking. Please immediately consult with another attorney for a legal opinion on the causation and liability issues present in this potential case. I strongly suggest that you immediately contact the local lawyers referral service or the West Virginia or Kentucky Bar Association to find another attorney to review this matter, if you wish to further pursue a potential personal injury claim.
Do not delay if you want to pursue a personal injury claim. Under Kentucky law, you only have one year from the date that the injury occurred or the date when you discovered that cigarettes caused your bodily injury. That likely means one year from the date your surgeon told you that cigarette smoking caused your lung injury. Time is of the essence in this matter. Do not delay. Call your local Bar Association or Lawyer Referral Services as soon as possible.
We are sorry, but we do not accept these types of toxic tort cases. Again, we cannot represent you in this matter.
