Speeding is one of the most common, and one of the most dangerous, behind-the-wheel behaviors. Driving too fast not only causes vehicular crashes, it also significantly increases the risk of fatalities in an accident. If you have been involved in a wreck with a speeding driver, you know the dangers of this risky and illegal action.
When you file a personal injury claim against a negligent party, you hope to receive full and fair compensation for the damages you sustained. As the plaintiff, you have been injured due to the fault of the defendant, and it is equitable that they compensate you for your losses. It is certainly a great relief when your case has been resolved and you are able to move forward with your life. The last thing you want to hear is that the defendant is refusing to pay you what you are rightfully owed.
If you have been involved in a crash with a large commercial truck, you need a lawyer with extensive experience in truck accident law. You need to know that you are backed by someone with expertise, someone who can leverage their skill to protect you and your loved ones. That is what a good legal advocate should do for our friends and neighbors here in Richmond. The right lawyer will work closely with each individual client, gaining a deep understanding of each case so the responsible party can be held accountable and the road can be a safer place for everyone.

Driving in Kentucky can be challenging, particularly when you are required to navigate crowded and often chaotic intersections. Because intersections bring opposing flows of traffic together in one place, involve multiple vehicles traveling at various speeds, and often include pedestrians and cyclists, it is not surprising that they are the site of frequent collisions.
When you have been injured in an accident, it is natural to want to reach a settlement (a formal resolution of your lawsuit) as soon as possible. As you are recovering from your injuries, you justifiably hope to expedite the legal proceedings so that you can return to your life and move past the incident. If you are like most people, the prospect of ending your ordeal with a quick settlement is an appealing option.

The COVID-19 pandemic utterly changed the landscape of the food delivery industry in the United States. As restaurants across the country closed their doors to in-house dining, the proliferation of food delivery drivers on the road illustrated the unanticipated spike in the food delivery business. Uber reported in 2020 that they had seen a tenfold increase in restaurants signing up to utilize the delivery services of Uber Eats. Other companies such as Grubhub, Postmates, and DoorDash, grocery delivery services like Instacart, and private restaurant delivery drivers became ubiquitous, and continue to operate in record numbers. The combined revenue of Grubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Postmates between April and September of 2020 was more than twice what it was for the same period in 2019.
For every personal injury case, there are various factors to consider and several important decisions to make. One major decision you and your attorney will need to make is whether to accept a settlement (a formal resolution of your lawsuit) or take your case to trial. Most personal injury cases settle before going to trial, but under some circumstances, it is advisable to take the case to court.

Following an auto collision, determining fault can pose a great challenge. No two car accidents are the same, and the complexity and abundance of factors involved in a vehicular wreck can make it difficult to properly hold the responsible party accountable for their negligence. Investigations into medical and police reports can provide supportive evidence, but a reliable account from a credible eyewitness is one of the best ways to support a claim.
It is not enough to simply have an eyewitness account of the accident—the credibility of the witness must also be taken into consideration. Witness credibility is essential in all legal situations, but a witness’ statement can be especially central to a car accident case, in which the word of one driver is weighed against the other. If you have been involved in an auto collision, you need to know that you have the support and expertise of a law firm thoroughly familiar with car accident law. A proficient legal advocate will know how to use a qualified witness’ statement to effectively support your claim, and will further be able to ascertain which witnesses are satisfactorily credible in their account of the incident.
Operating a large commercial truck can be a dangerous occupation for drivers who often spend up to 11 consecutive hours on the road. However, the risk for passenger vehicle drivers who share the road with tractor-trailers weighing 20-30 times more than a car can be even more substantial. Commercial truck accidents, although more infrequent per mile than passenger vehicle wrecks, can be the most catastrophic. Research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that most deaths in large truck crashes are passenger vehicle occupants. It is clear that large trucks do not operate in a bubble, and passenger cars can become entangled when things go wrong, whether or not they are at fault.
If you have been involved in a crash with a large commercial truck, you need to know that you are backed by a trusted law firm with experience in truck accident law. Our team at Golden Law Office works hard to make the road a safer place for everyone. We can use our valuable experience in truck accident law to determine the ways you have been affected by the accident, helping you receive the compensation you need to recover your losses. One of the first steps in the process is determining the liable party in a tractor-trailer accident.
The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) has published studies concluding that approximately one in 10 older adults living in a community environment is a victim of abuse. This shocking statistic shows that elder abuse is a serious threat to individuals who reside in nursing homes. Trusting that your loved one will be well cared for in a nursing home facility should never come with the fear of mistreatment or neglect. When abuse or neglect does occur, action should be taken to quickly put an end to a grievous situation of maltreatment.
Knowledge is one way you can equip yourself to be an advocate for vulnerable adults residing in nursing homes. By educating yourself on signs and symptoms of potential neglect or mistreatment, you can help prevent or stop a serious problem. One major sign of neglect in nursing homes is bedsores. Bedsores indicate that an individual has been left immobile for long periods of time, and suggests that they are not receiving proper care and attention. If you find that a nursing home resident you know has developed bedsores, get in touch immediately with a trusted nursing home abuse lawyer who can help protect the rights of your loved one.
The most amazing people you can deal with they will treat you like family they will take care of you and they make sure you will get what you deserve

My lawyer Bryan Daley and Justin Peterson worked on my automobile injury case which they both did an excellent job handling all of the medical liens to get me the most money possible and I would like to thank them both for all of their hard work. I would recommend them to anyone that is in need of a legal counsel.

I hired Dale Golden to represent my son when he broke his ankle in a slip and fall. We had incredible opposition and yet Dale was able to anticipate and plan for contingencies that I hadn't even thought about - His experience as a civil defense attorney proved invaluable. He guided us and kept us very informed through the entire process. We were very pleased with our result and my son will graduate from college debt free! As a former insurance claim adjuster, I would highly recommend Golden Law Office!

Drew meadows went above and beyond on my case and I could not be more pleased. He was professional, kept me updated, and was so pleasant. He even called to see if I needed anything. I will never use another firm as long as I live. He was able to settle our case at a sum that was much more than expected. My mother is currently fighting an fmla case and I absolutely won’t hear of her seeing anyone else. They’re truly the very best.

I highly recommend, and just can’t say enough about Golden Law Office! I would give this Law firm six stars if I could! Justin Peterson, Dale Golden, and their staff do all they can to make sure their clients come first, and will fight to get the highest amount their clients deserve when representing them. I have been working with them for over two years, and they have went out of their way to make sure I understand every step in the process of getting me compensated for a injury I sustained at a motel. The owner, their attorney, and the insurance company did everything they could to get out of compensation for the injury I sustained, but Justin Peterson, just worked harder to win the case. Justin Peterson has told me since the day we met how sorry he is that this happened to me, and any time I had a question or problem, he, and the staff have been available to take my call, and if not, have returned my calls in a timely manor. Dale Golden even stood in for me, because of an illness at the mediation hearing. That, and everything this Law Office has done on my behalf has really meant the world to me, and you won’t find a better law firm to represent you in my opinion. Thank you Golden Law Office!!!

Excellent! Having never needed an attorney before, I found the legal system incredibly intimidating and overwhelming. James Yoder provided excellent representation; he stayed in constant communication, took time to patiently explain each step of the process, and answered every question I had. His diligence took so much stress off my plate. I cannot recommend Golden Law Office enough - Ask for James!
