Cayla R. Schulz - Newport, KY

Cayla Schulz is an Associate Attorney at Merk Injury Law, where she represents individuals and families in personal injury matters. She handles both pre-litigation and litigation cases - from negotiating with insurance adjusters and building strong demand packages to conducting discovery and preparing cases for trial - always with client advocacy and client satisfaction at the center of what she does.

Cayla is known for careful, thorough case preparation and a communication style that keeps clients in the loop. Clients often describe her as both compassionate and steady - someone who will take the time to listen and explain the process - while also being a fierce advocate when it’s time to push back and fight for what’s fair. She takes a detail-driven approach to evaluating liability and damages, organizing medical evidence, and presenting each client’s story in a clear, persuasive way. She has successfully negotiated multiple six-figure settlements against insurance companies, helping clients secure meaningful recoveries when it matters most.

A Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky native, Cayla was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up around Independence, Kentucky. She attended law school locally and is well-connected throughout the region, which gives her a strong feel for the community and the local landscape of injury claims.

Cayla’s commitment to this work is also personal. In 2020, her stepfather was struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian, and the driver fled the scene. Seeing how quickly life can change - for the injured person and the entire family - shaped the way she approaches every case. She brings urgency, empathy, and a relentless focus on accountability and results for the people she represents.
