Forman & Associates is a personal injury law firm in Louisville, Kentucky, led by trial attorney Larry Forman. We represent injured people and families throughout Jefferson County and across Kentucky, from the first insurance claim through a jury trial if that’s what it takes.

When you are injured, you want a lawyer who is ready to go to court, not one who settles every case as fast as possible. Insurance companies know which lawyers will try a case and which won’t, and that affects how they value a claim. As Louisville personal injury lawyers, we prepare every case as if it may go to trial. Our fee is also lower than many firms charge: we collect 30% of the pre-suit recovery for car accidents, so more of the money stays with you.
Before focusing his practice exclusively on personal injury law, Larry Forman spent 13 years as a criminal defense trial lawyer, trying more than 50 cases to verdict. Cross-examining police officers and experts, and taking apart crash reports, toxicology and video evidence, are the same skills an injury case needs. Today he brings that courtroom experience to injured people and families in Louisville and across Kentucky.

When you’ve been injured, who you hire matters. We take on serious injury cases and prepare them for trial.
Car crashes are the most frequent reason people call us. Our Louisville car accident lawyer page explains Kentucky’s no-fault (PIP) system, the deadline for car accident cases and what to do after a crash. We also handle truck accident claims and other commercial vehicle crashes, motorcycle wrecks, Uber and Lyft accidents, bus wrecks, bicycle and pedestrian collisions and claims against your own insurer when the other driver didn’t carry enough insurance.
Property owners have to keep their premises reasonably safe. We handle slip and fall injuries, other premises liability claims and negligent security cases involving assaults at apartments, bars, hotels and parking lots.
Kentucky makes a dog’s owner responsible for the damage the dog causes (KRS 258.235(4)). See Louisville dog bite claims. When a bar or restaurant serves someone who is obviously intoxicated and that person causes a crash, the business may also be responsible (KRS 413.241). See dram shop claims.
We represent patients and families in medical malpractice cases and residents who were neglected or abused in nursing homes.
Some injuries change a life permanently. We handle traumatic brain injury and other catastrophic injury cases. When negligence takes a life, Kentucky law allows a claim by the personal representative of the person’s estate (KRS 411.130). See wrongful death claims.
Insurance companies lowball victims — we prepare for trial.
Negligence isn't an accident. We hold property owners accountable.
Vulnerable on the road. Relentless in the courtroom.
Hospitals have teams of lawyers. So do you — now.
Kentucky holds dog owners responsible for the harm their dogs cause.
No verdict undoes the loss. But justice demands accountability.
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee. That means you pay nothing up front and no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. If we do, our fee is 30% of the recovery for car accidents pre-litigation. Case costs are deducted after the fee is calculated. Before you hire us, you’ll get a written fee agreement that explains all of this. For more detail, read what a 30% contingency fee actually means for your settlement.
Kentucky gives you less time to file a lawsuit than most states do.
Evidence also disappears long before any deadline. Footage is recorded over, vehicles are repaired and witnesses move. The sooner you call, the more we can preserve.
Kentucky is a “choice no-fault” state. Unless you rejected it in writing, your own auto policy includes Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which generally pays up to $10,000 for medical bills, lost wages and certain other losses after a crash, no matter who caused it. You can also bring a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering once your injury meets the threshold in KRS 304.39-060: more than $1,000 in medical expenses, or a fracture, permanent disfigurement, permanent injury, loss of a body member, permanent loss of a bodily function, or death. Read more about how Kentucky PIP insurance works.
Kentucky follows pure comparative fault (KRS 411.182; Hilen v. Hays, 673 S.W.2d 713 (Ky. 1984)). If you were partly to blame, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover from the others who were at fault. There is no 50% or 51% cutoff in Kentucky. See how Kentucky’s pure comparative fault rule works.
Some injury firms handle a high volume of cases and settle most of them early. Insurance companies notice which firms do that. An adjuster who knows a lawyer is prepared to file suit and try the case has a reason to take the claim seriously.
We are a small Louisville firm, and we prepare each case as if it will be tried. Our team has 28 years of combined legal experience. We will never accept a settlement without your approval, and we’ll tell you honestly what we think an offer is worth.

Larry was the best thing that's happened to me. When I called, he actually answered the phone. Most offices don't. He was very responsive, did not give me the run around and took care of my case in less than a week. He was always polite and I would recommend him to anyone. He did what I didn't think could be done. I'm very grateful and a very satisfied customer. Thanks, Larry!!
I was so hopeless and did not know what to do or what to expect until I called his number. He is an outstanding attorney - very supportive and professional. He is always standby to answer my question or concern. I was so relieved when he called me and said "Are you ready for good news?". I am very grateful to you Larry. Thanks a lot.
“[My attorney] was excellent when in a clutch she got tings done for me making me feel like someone really cared about me and my situation when in the court system this is a rarity thanks again [my attorney] your the best and my recommendations go out to you have a safe and merry Christmas”
“*Exceptional Compassion and Expertise* I had the privilege of working with [the attorney] at Larry Forman Lawyers to assist my sister, who was navigating a legal matter from out of state. From the start, [the attorney’s] attention to detail, thoroughness, and direct communication stood out. He kept us informed every step of the way, making what felt like a daunting and overwhelming situation manageable—even leaving us with optimism for my sister’s future. What truly sets [the attorney] and this firm apart is their rare combination of legal tenacity and genuine understanding. They handled our case with both expertise and heart, turning a stressful process into one where we felt supported and confident. I cannot recommend [the attorney] and Larry Forman Lawyers highly enough. If you need compassionate yet fierce advocacy, look no further.”
“[My attorney] is an amazing lawyer she has gone above and beyond to help me with my case she is kept in touch with me. Let me know everything that’s going on. She is worked so hard to get my case and for somebody to actually listen to me my case is so unique and she has taken the time to put in the hard work to help me out I have never had a lawyer do what she is doing for me. She definitely deserves a raise. This law firm has really come together and made a difference in my life. I would recommend this law firm to anybody all the lawyers in there are freaking amazing .”
“These guys are the real deal! I don’t know much about all of them, but (specifically) [my attorney] helped us, with what I might add; a few lawyers said they wouldn’t touch because it was too complicated. They jumped right on it, handled it, and it was over with and with way more results than was expected; in no time! I know all cases are different, but they are 100% up front with you with what the possibilities are, what the most likely results are, and even what the possibilities of going wrong are, and they are on point with it! And honest! Give them a shot, you won’t regret it!”
“The best lawfirm you can get in Kentucky? Absolutely true. It took 22 months of fighting the case and they didn't stop until a fair and satisfactory outcome was obtained. [My attorney] is an A+ lawyer and the lawfirm being the top 1% is no joke. Worth every dollar, because they put 100% into every case. No matter how complicated, or how much of a fight it is. My case was quite the fight and I appreciate everything the team at foreman lawfirm did to resolve it. Edit: [Another attorney] is also a fantastic associate here aswell. I'm going to confidently assume Larry only associates with the best of the best. I would recommend anybody and everybody who needs a great lawfirm that is worth every dollar they ask . Everything before the edit is still true and 5 stars is far too low of a rating.”
“[My attorney] and the other lawers have been so wonderful and helpful. I truly appreciate the help that they have given us. [My attorney] has went out of his way to do everything under the sun to help us in any way that he can. I truly appreciate him and his expertise. I would recommend him to anyone if they asked. Thank you so much. Stephanie Ho.”
“This isn’t investing your money into a firm, this is investing into a man committed to reaching the best possible outcome in every legal situation possible. Mr Forman has been an invaluable asset to me on many occasions over the years, and if i ever find myself needing legal representation in the Louisville area, there’s no one better than Mr Forman.”
“If you are looking for representation from a firm that doesn't just want to take your money that actually works for you, then you have come to the right place! They do their homework, so you can be sure and get the best outcome possible. Extremely satisfied customer. I definitely, recommend this firm.”
“Larry was straightforward and reasonable. He told me what he could do and what he couldn't do. No bull. I had several questions and he answered them, and then did exactly what I asked him to do to resolve some bad advice that I had received from another attorney. I would use him again and recommend him to others!!!”
“Mr. Forman is very knowledgeable and helpful. He listens carefully and explains things in a way that makes you feel confident you’re in the right hands. I was worrying myself sick and he responded quickly to my calls and thoroughly answered my questions. It really set my mind at ease. Now it’s all just like a bad dream fading away! I’m very appreciative of his help and advice and highly recommend him.”
“From the moment of my first meeting with Larry I knew I had the right man to represent me. His professionalism , knowledge , and ability to communicate were clear from the beginning. Throughout my case everything went just as Larry had told us it would. He made a difficult , stressful time as easy on us as anyone could imagine. Needless to say I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I can not recommend Larry strongly enough.”
“[My attorney] was very patient and helpful throughout. I am throughly impressed with the services she provided. Thank you again for your time and patience. I would highly recommend for friends and family confidently. Definitely a five star experience. Great communication with quick response and clear instructions for what I needed to do.”

She went above and beyond to ensure every detail of the case was investigated all while being clear and transparent with me through the entire process. Her actions and knowledge ultimately led to a court ruling we were beyond pleased with. I highly recommend to anyone in the area.”

We work on a contingency fee. There's no attorney fee unless we recover money for you, and if we do, our fee is 30% of the recovery for car accidents pre-suit plus case costs. The first consultation is free.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within one year (KRS 413.140(1)(a)). Most car and motor vehicle injury claims have two years from the injury or the last PIP payment, whichever is later (KRS 304.39-230(6)). Claims against government agencies, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, and claims involving children can follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer as early as you can.
Not always. Before you accept, make sure the offer covers future medical care, lost income and your other losses, and understand that accepting usually ends your claim for good. We'll review an offer with you at no charge.
Yes. Kentucky is a "choice no-fault" state. After a car crash, your own PIP coverage generally pays up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages, no matter who caused it.

See our Louisville car accident lawyer page for details.
