Jennifer L. Thompson

Jennifer L. Thompson is a trusted, experienced personal injury lawyer in Kentucky with a proven track record representing individuals and families in complex, high-value cases involving defective products, dangerous pharmaceuticals, and catastrophic injuries. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, she serves clients locally and across the country, regularly handling matters in Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceedings where the stakes are high and the litigation is complex.

For more than eight years, Jennifer has focused her practice on mass tort litigation, representing clients harmed by some of the most widely used consumer products and medications in the nation. Her work includes cases involving recalled CPAP devices, defective dust mask respirators, gas pipeline explosions, vaping-related injuries, herbicide exposure, and other dangerous or defective products. In these cases, Jennifer fights for full compensation and maximum recovery for individuals facing life-altering injuries.

In addition to her national MDL practice, Jennifer is a leading Kentucky personal injury attorney who represents clients in motor vehicle accident cases and other serious injury claims throughout the Commonwealth. She regularly handles car accidents, truck accidents, and wrongful death cases, helping clients navigate the insurance process while aggressively pursuing the compensation they deserve. Her approach is grounded in the belief that when results matter, clients need an attorney who will fight relentlessly on their behalf.

Jennifer’s background distinguishes her from many other injury lawyers. She began her legal career as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Montgomery County, Ohio, before being selected to serve as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While with the FBI in the Chicago Division, she investigated complex white-collar crimes, including financial institution fraud, securities fraud, public corruption, and civil rights violations. Following September 11, 2001, she also worked on domestic terrorism and foreign counterintelligence investigations. This experience provides her with a unique skill set in investigating cases, analyzing evidence, and building strong, strategic claims against powerful defendants.

After leaving the FBI, Jennifer returned to the practice of law and transitioned into complex civil litigation, where she now focuses on representing individuals who have suffered serious and catastrophic injuries. She is licensed to practice in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio and routinely works with clients and co-counsel across the country.

Jennifer handles cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless she wins. She is available to help clients in Louisville and throughout Kentucky, as well as those involved in nationwide MDL litigation. Gary C. Johnson, PSC, has convenient office locations in Louisville, Lexington, Hazard and Pikeville.
