Getting hurt on the job can turn your entire life upside down. One day you’re earning a living, supporting your family, and the next, you’re dealing with pain, doctor visits, lost wages, and uncertainty about the future. At Herren · Adams, we understand how overwhelming this situation can be — and we’re here to help you get through it.
As experienced work accident lawyers in Lexington, KY, we’ve been representing injured workers throughout Central Kentucky for more than 35 years. So whether your injury happened at one of the many construction sites around town, in a factory near Leestown Road, or while making deliveries along New Circle Road, our firm is ready to help you seek the compensation and care you deserve.
Many workers know that workers’ compensation provides benefits after a job-related injury. But far fewer people realize they might also be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim — which can offer broader compensation — depending on how the injury happened.
Our team takes the time to explain your options and determine the most effective path forward. We’ll look closely at your case to find out whether a third party (someone other than your employer) may be liable. If so, we’ll work aggressively to hold them accountable.
As your dedicated workplace injury lawyer in Lexington, KY, we’re not here to push quick settlements. We’re trial-ready and prepared to take your case as far as it needs to go.
After a job injury, you may be eligible to file for workers’ compensation, which can provide:
Coverage for medical bills
A portion of your lost wages
Compensation for permanent injuries
Vocational rehabilitation benefits (in some cases)
Workers’ comp is a no-fault system, meaning you’re entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the accident. But there’s a catch—workers’ comp doesn’t provide compensation for pain and suffering, and wage benefits are often limited.
That’s why it’s so important to evaluate whether you may also have a third-party personal injury claim. These claims apply when someone outside your employer — like a subcontractor, negligent driver, or manufacturer of faulty equipment — caused or contributed to your injury.
In a third-party claim, you may be able to pursue:
Full lost wages (past and future)
Pain and suffering damages
Loss of enjoyment of life
Compensation for diminished earning capacity
Medical expenses not covered by workers’ comp
We handle both workers’ comp and third-party injury cases. And we’ll help you pursue every dollar you’re entitled to—through every available legal channel.
We’ve represented clients injured in a wide range of job-related incidents throughout Lexington and the surrounding areas. Common work accident scenarios include:
Construction site accidents involving scaffolding collapses, equipment failures, or falling objects
Factory and warehouse injuries due to unsafe machinery or lack of safety protocols
Slip-and-falls on wet floors or poorly maintained premises
Motor vehicle accidents involving delivery drivers or those traveling for work
Repetitive stress injuries and wear-and-tear conditions like carpal tunnel or back problems
Electrical injuries, burns, or toxic chemical exposure
Whether your injury occurred suddenly or developed over time, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
Lexington has no shortage of attorneys. But choosing the right lawyer for a job injury case means finding someone with the experience, resources, and dedication to see it through. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Herren Law:
1. Decades of Experience
We’ve spent over 35 years helping injured workers across Kentucky. We understand both the workers’ comp system and personal injury litigation—and how to coordinate the two when both claims apply.

3. Trial-Ready Representation
We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That means we gather evidence, consult with experts, and develop a full legal strategy from day one. Insurance companies know we’re not afraid to fight — and that gives our clients a real advantage.

We live and work in Lexington. We understand the industries that power our region—from manufacturing and construction to logistics and service work — and the types of injuries these jobs can cause. We also know the local courts, judges, and procedures that can impact your case.
If you’ve been injured on the job, don’t assume that workers’ comp is your only option. You may be entitled to significantly more than what the insurance company is offering.
