What Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers does

Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers is a Kentucky-based personal injury law firm founded in 2010 by Sam Aguiar (JD, University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law). The firm represents individuals in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare, and delivery vehicle accidents, as well as wrongful death, premises liability, dog bite, and insurance bad faith matters. It operates from a Louisville headquarters (1900 Plantside Drive) and a Lexington office opened in 2026 (620 West Main Street), with additional service-area coverage in Elizabethtown and Bowling Green; the firm states representation across 120 of Kentucky's 120 counties and 15,000+ clients served historically.

The firm differentiates on a fee-structure basis via its trademarked Bigger Share Guarantee® and a flat contingency fee that does not increase when a case enters litigation, in contrast to the industry-standard jump from 33-40% to 45%. The economic model is $0 Out-Of-Pocket for clients — the firm advances all case expenses and is paid only on recovery — paired with a dedicated three-person team (attorney, case manager, legal assistant) per case. Its primary non-human evidence asset is access to Kentucky DOT and TriMarc traffic camera archives spanning six months across I-75, I-64, US 60, US 127, and other state-monitored corridors, used to preserve crash footage before deletion.

Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via 24/7 phone intake (Louisville and Lexington), website contact forms, Spanish-language coverage on every shift, television advertising, content marketing (legal blog and FAQ), and community engagement through the Sam Cares program (20+ youth/academic sponsorships, UofL Athletics partnership, Bellarmine NIL deal, $5M+ in cumulative community giving). The firm is privately held and founder-owned, reports 11-50 employees, and lists 10 attorneys on its roster. Recognition includes Forbes Best-In-State Top Lawyer (one of two Kentucky selections, 2025), Super Lawyers every year 2017-2026, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, ABOTA membership, and a 4.9/5 rating across 1,000+ verified Google reviews.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Legal Fees: Standard contingency fee model where attorney fees are paid only when a case results in a recovery. The firm uses a flat contingency fee that never increases, even if the case goes to litigation or trial. This differs from industry standard where fees typically jump from 33-40% pre-litigation to 45% once litigation begins.
